This chair has been in my family for a very long time. I remember rocking in it as a small child. There are 2 chairs, one a rocker and the other with legs. I used to climb in the rocker and curl up like a cat and sleep. My mother gave me the chairs but I was saddened when the arm broke on one. I had them recovered about 10 years ago but the company never fixed the arm (I never asked them to).
I did get it fixed once by some "guy" that now I believe didn't really know how to fix furniture. So for many years it has sat in my bedroom with the arm leaning on the wall. Until...
a friend of mine gave me a name of someone who is an antique restorer or helps put antique furniture back to their original splendor (not necessarily refinishing)
I called him and he came to my house and looked at the chair... no problem! He took it away and came back a week later and Wallah! Its all fixed! Its nice and solid again. Even Beth had to try it out :)
I am so pleased! He did a marvelous job!
Hmm, I have another project he can do... but I have to wait til he returns from holidays...
