Building codes generally state that porch rails must be constructed to be at least 36 inches tall to keep you safe from falling. While these requirements do keep you safe, the mandatory height obstructs your view if you are sitting in a traditional deck chair, such as an Adirondack. This can be frustrating.
So we conceived of and designed the Tall Rocker to eliminate the problem of our scenic views being obstructed by porch rails.

We understood from the outset that our tall rocking chairs had to sit higher than the traditional chair, so we designed it to allow for an unobstructed view. We also knew that a taller chair needed to be sturdy and safe, so we used premium materials and a safe, non-tip over design. Another major priority was to make the chair comfortable and easy to get in and out of for our aging parents.
First, we built a prototype and tested it with our parents. The chair proved to be so easy and comfortable for them to sit on that we had to practically beg them to let us sit in the chair. The results spoke for themselves: We had designed a safe, comfortable chair that removed the porch rail obstruction from our line of sight, and our parents could get in and out of the chair easily.
We had solved the main problem. But we wanted this chair to be the best it could be.
We designed the Tall Rocker to be attractive, and specified materials that are durable in the harshest outdoor conditions. Since we (and our parents) also like to enjoy a beverage or two, we also integrated two oversized cup holders into the design. After more design tweaks, we gave birth to The Tall Rocker.
