How Much Does a Poly Rocking Chair Cost? What Affects the Price

The Porch Swing Store · 1 min read

The price of a quality recycled poly rocking chair depends on the model, color, retailer and any extras such as sets or cushions. Prices change, so always check the product page for the current price. This guide explains what drives the cost and what you get for it.

What affects the price of a poly rocking chair?

  • Material quality. High-density recycled poly lumber is thick, solid board stock that will not crack, splinter, warp or rot. Cheaper resin chairs use thinner, hollow molded plastic.
  • Hardware. Stainless steel hardware resists corrosion and staining. Plated steel is cheaper but can rust.
  • Where it is made. LuxCraft rockers are handcrafted in the USA in an Ohio Amish Country workshop, which costs more than imported chairs.
  • Warranty. LuxCraft backs its poly rockers with a limited lifetime residential warranty and a 5-year limited commercial warranty.
  • Size and style. Taller, wider or higher-back designs use more material. Compare the Comfort, Classic Traditional and Grandpa's rockers.
  • Sets and extras. Two-chair sets, end tables and seat cushions add to the total.
  • Shipping method. Some models ship by LTL freight, which has its own delivery requirements. Shipping and return terms vary by manufacturer, so check the product page.

Is a poly rocking chair worth the money?

Poly costs more up front than a basic wood or resin chair, but it needs no staining, sealing or painting, can stay outside all year and is backed by a long warranty. Over time that usually evens out the cost.

Where to start

The LuxCraft Comfort Rocker is our most popular poly rocking chair. See also the full rocking chair collection.

Frequently asked questions

Is recycled poly lumber better than wood?

It will not rot, splinter or need refinishing and resists insects and moisture. Wood can look more traditional but needs regular upkeep.

Do poly rockers fade?

Quality poly is UV stabilized to resist fading, and the color runs through the board rather than sitting on the surface.
