I'm looking to buy a rocking chair, specifically a glider rocker. I haven't seen any in Korea, and I'm wondering if anyone else has. I've only found one here: http://www.yourstore.co.kr/shop/shopdetail.html?brandcode=062003000001&search=&sort=order2

It's OK, but a little bit granny, I think.

Any ideas?

Having looked everywhere for one, that one in the link you showed is the only one I could find. I bought it for 100,000 won, without the footstool. I went to the local furniture shop, looked through their book, and got it.

My students gave me one years ago, but I don't know where they got it.

How is it? It looks good quality from the picture. I was thinking I could get some new cushions made up in Dongdaemun if I wanted to de-grannify it a bit. Smile

Looks like a good deal to me.

You can certainly re-cushion it... take some fabric and the cushions to a local neighbourhood seamstress and she can whip up new covers in minutes.

Rocking chairs are the best. I had use of one when I visited Canada and it was great getting critter to go to sleep. Just rock, nurse, relax.

We'll totally get one for kid #2.

It is good and strong. The guys delivered it, and set it up. Ours squeeked a little, but with a little tweaking, it worked out ok. We put a blanket over it to take the granny look away.
