JFK had his official portrait taken in a rocking chair after it was recommended for his bad back. He wasn’t the first U.S. political leader to popularize it. In fact, Benjamin Franklin concocted one by attaching a foot pedal connected to an overhead fan to keep him cool. Our Bentley Rocker is gracefully engineered and ergonomic. A single welt outlines the arms, perimeter, and outside back of this super comfortable oversized chair.
