Moreover, this is not a choice between good and bad: alternative options are not inferior in quality. The final cost is formed from the assembled kit, so you can buy a chair even at a low price.
The first item of choice is a birch frame (plywood with veneer). The color scheme includes 3 shades - black-brown, white and brown. A metal version of the base of the chair is possible.

- Stanley and Wisland fabrics are available for rocking chairs, both of 100% cotton;
- for other modifications are offered: Hillared (55% cotton, 25% polyester, 12% viscose, 8% linen), Kimstad or leather - Smidig or Glose.
Kimstad is a durable polymer-coated fabric that, compared to the other materials listed, cannot be washed. For cleaning, it is shown to wipe the chair with a damp cloth. Kimstad is characterized by a lower coefficient of abrasion than other fabrics, and is durable with careful use.
As for the leather cover of the chair, both options are characterized by identical care requirements and the same shelf life, despite the different manufacturing techniques. Glosa is made from a strong cattle skin, which after processing becomes soft. Smidig is a goat skin dressing. These types of upholstery are easy to care for, they have protection against fading and pollution.
Covering stools for legs and pillows is made of the same materials, because the goal is to obtain a single ensemble. Most models have removable covers. They are machine washable at 400 ºC (except Kimstad). There are many colors of covers - 15 options (with a varied print or plain).
