Glider Rocker Recliner
The concept of home furnishing has undergone several changes over the past few years. Pieces which were initially introduced as stand alone furniture are now offered as a part sofas, love seats and other modular arrangements. Similarly, combining the functions of two or more pieces of furniture has also gained popularity.
One such article of furnishing is the glider rocker recliner which is a combination of three types of chairs; a reclining armchair, a gliding chair and a rocking chair. A simple gliding chair is one which moves back and forth in a plane parallel to the surface on which the chair is standing. The gliding chair is combined with a rocking chair for greater comfort. A typical glider rocker chair does not have the curved rails of an ordinary rocking chair. Instead, it is designed in a manner such that the chair is suspended within a frame. The suspended chair is capable of gliding as well as rocking.
The gliding rocking chair is further improved by the addition of the reclining function. A reclining chair is one which allows the occupant to tilt the back of the chair forming an almost flat surface upon which to stretch out. It also has a footrest for supporting one’s feet. A glider rocker recliner provides all the three functions within one chair making it the perfect remedy for stress and tension.
