Black Rocking Chairs

Black rocking chairs are the choice of those who like to rock the boat: unusual color is not everyone’s cup of tea and, when seen on your porch, will start your neighbors’ tongues wagging. But, black outdoor rockers, while not exactly traditional, can be very elegant and give a touch of class to even the simplest porches and patios. They look best in classic, simple, elegant style, with straight lines and unadorned back and armrests. Because the color is so striking, you can get away with purchasing a black rocking chair made of inexpensive wood, such as treated pine. The high quality paint will also protect the wood, and will give you years of rocking fun without too much time spent on maintenance. If your black rocking chair is going to be left outdoors to deal with any weather, you might think of choosing a chair made of polywood, a synthetic lumber made of recycled plastic. This new material is becoming increasing popular because of its great look, extreme durability and weather resistance. To make things even more interesting, the color is part of the lumber, and will not fade or chip in time. Don’t forget to add a few colorful cushions to your black rocker for porch, for comfort, contrast and a touch of color.
