ROCKING Couture - LA style

No space (or desire) for cane/country looking rocking chairs? Me neither. The Nursery works range has answered our prayers by bringing us their stylish range. Classic, functional and well-crafted - this sums the design mastery of genius behind the Nurseryworks, L.A based Lawson-Fenning.

One chair does not suit all nurturing requirements - good designers know this, but only few offer innovative solutions like the Nurseryworks range.

The Nurseryworks Sleepytime Rocker features a high back and soft back pillow provides support for your spine. The soft yet sturdy armrests provide stability for your arm during feedings & baby's head while they nod off to sleep.

Now I love this.. the Nurseryworks Storytime Rocker is extra wide, allowing plenty of space for parents and children to cuddle up for a bedtime book. By adding a piece of rocking couture to your home, reading time will become an exciting novelty on the "special chair". Your days of resorting to bed-based reading are over!

A perch foot stool is also a great accessory for the rockers to 'perch' your feet for maximum comfort - available also from Metro Mum.

Fully upholstered micro suede mocha (water & stain resistant - yay!) with wooden legs in either dark or light ash. These chic nursery furniture pieces will have a lifespan beyond the nursing years as comfortable chairs for reading or TV spectating.
