Useful Storage
Rocking Chair Mid-Century Modern Nursery Rocking Armchair
For a moment, let us just appreciate the fact that this chair has a pocket. Wipes, bottles, remote controls, whatever — you can hold all of it in the pocket on the side.
The chair itself is super cushy too, with a microfiber cover that’s easy to clean. The runners also have stops at the end, so if your kids decide they’re going to play “ship at sea” on it when you’re not looking, they won’t fling themselves butt over teakettle.
If you have a minimalist, Scandinavian aesthetic, this is the set for you. It comes with the ottoman, so you'll have a place to rest your feet when the baby inevitably falls asleep in your arms.
The 5-inch thick padding provides a comfortable seat, while the hardwood design makes the whole thing stable and sturdy. This is going to quickly become a family favorite chair ... we guarantee it.
Velvet is having a moment, and it's not going away anytime soon. This cozy micro velvet rocking chair with brass runners is somehow both trendy and timeless, mixing styles and eras of design to achieve its gorgeous final product.
It should also be noted that micro velvet is very easy to clean, which is so important in a nursery.
This chair has a fun, space-age feel to it. The dense cushion wraps around the entire frame, so you won't find a position where you're not comfortable. The lumbar pillow is removable, but it's also a darn delight, so we think you'll most likely keep it on. It's like sitting on a rocking marshmallow ... only far more stylish.

Delta has been making rocking chairs for decades, and their knowledge of comfort and style is unparalleled. The Emma chair is covered in soft microfiber fabric that is easy to clean and looks great in any room. The rockers on the bottom are deep enough to provide a good rock, but gentle enough that you never feel unstable.
The chair is extra-deep, so those with long legs will love the stable feeling they get when they're seated. However, this also means it might not be the best fit for more petite parents.
