Because each mecedora rocker is hand made, each rocker is unique in its weave pattern and the actual dimensions of the chair differ slightly.
Stainless steel is used for the frame. All tubing is bent by hand with the aid of a conduit bender, then welded together. I then use approximately 1000 feet of 1/4" cotton rope and weave it in a random pattern to create the seat and backrest area. The rope is sewn in random inconspicuous places to prevent it from unraveling, this also keeps the rope in place.
This rocking chair sits low to the floor (approx. 14" off the ground), and has a wide stance to permit the user to rock very far back without tipping over. The use of bent tubing provides very light, smooth rocking. It has been tested to withstand 300 lbs.
