In the end, the rocker maintained its classic style. It was repaired for functionality and updated with a clean fabric.

One chair of a set of four, these chairs required a lot of cleanup and preparation before being reupholstered.

A new pattern was created to incorporate a soft fabric, rather than the old vinyl webbing strips.
