Kennedy Rocking Chair, donated by Spruce Mortgage. The Kennedy Rocking Chair is shaped, steam-bent and assembled while green according to the original design. There are no unnecessary frills -- every part is functional -- even the back post knobs have their use, as a place to tie a back cushion, if desired. The secret of this chair's comfort is the steam-bent curve of the back post, which sweeps in to give firm support to the sitter's back, and yet carry the weight down to the exact point on the rockers as they contact the floor.
