A rocking chair is a type of chair built with curved bands, or rockers, attached to the bottom of the legs, allowing the chair to move gently back and forth. Designed for comfort and relaxation, it typically features a supportive backrest and a stable seat. Rocking chairs can be made from various materials such as wood, metal, or molded plastic, and may include cushioned seating for added comfort. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, a rocking chair provides a soothing, rhythmic motion that makes it ideal for lounging, reading, or calming activities.
