NO. 5 CHERRY SHAKER ROCKER KIT
"Painter" Furniture Kits
While these kits are structurally the same as our regular kits, we cannot sell them as first quality because they have dark mineral streaks, small chips (which can easily be filled), or other cosmetic defects. These Shaker Workshops furniture kits will look perfect if painted. They are a very good value for people who like their furniture painted or stained a dark color. Stain is not included with this kit.
At the 1876 Centennial Exhibition, the Shakers from the Mt. Lebanon, New York community were praised for combining in their chairs "strength, sprightliness, and modest beauty." The Mt. Lebanon Shakers were the first to design a line of chairs sized appropriately for those who were to use them. The No. 5 size is for average adults. We make this Shaker Rocker from clear Pennsylvania cherry. Height of back is 40 3/4". Height of seat 17 14". Overall width 20 3/4". Depth 17 1/8". Shown in Oil Finish; woven in 5/8" Black and 5/8" Olive/Black Stripe chair tape in a herringbone pattern.
