There's a reason why this Esra Rocking Chair is Wayfair's top choice, why it gets a near-perfect rating from buyers, and why we picked it as the best-all-around option to start off our list. The Esra Rocking Chair has a streamlined yet modern look, a solid wood frame, a convenient side-storage pocket, and thick cushions for optimum comfort. When you purchase the Esra, you also have the option to get a 5-year protection plan and have an expert assemble it for you. It's available in nine upholstery colors including beige (pictured above), so one is bound to fit your color scheme.
Another reason it's one of the best rocking chairs is its versatile placement options. Enjoy lounging in it outside on a covered porch or patio, or easily style it in either the living room or the nursery. As an extra safety feature, this rocking chair is designed to withstand rollovers, so you don’t need to worry about rocking too far backwards.

The Statham Rocking Chair is one of the best rocking chairs on our list because it gets you the most benefits on a low-budget. At well under $200, the Statham has everything you need at a very reasonable price. Composed of a durable birch laminate and steel frame, this rocking chair can support up to 330 pounds. Lounge comfortably thanks to a thick padded seat and sponge-foam headrest wrapped in breathable upholstery. An arched base, smooth, curved armrests, and smartly-designed rockers create an ergonomic haven for you to recline and relax on. Pair this rocking chair with a foot rest for the ultimate lounging experience.
This modern rocking chair also offers optional expert assembly and a 5-year protection plan, so you can skip the hassle of assembly and ensure years of lounge use. Choose between beige or gray (pictured above) imitation linen upholstery for a neutral addition to the covered porch, living room, or bedroom.
What customers say:
"Perfect for rocking a baby!"
"Very sturdy and comfortable."
We couldn't have a list about rocking chairs without including one of the best glider rockers, which is also a Wayfair’s Choice option. A glider offers a smooth back-and-forth motion, unlike a traditional rocking chair where you lean forward and back, so if you prefer this type of motion, the Sona Glider is the way to go. The wood frame acts as a base for its overstuffed, ultra-comfy seat cushions and armrests. This glider comes with a matching cushioned ottoman that is also equipped with a gliding mechanism for a seamless gliding experience. Put the Sona Glider in the nursery or easily add it to your living room for an extra seating option on movie nights.
This glider gives you the option of expert assembly and a 3-year protection plan.
What customers say:
"This is the most comfortable glider!"
"Excellent quality! Best chair I've ever owned."
"Beautiful chair, great quality. Simple to put together."

This rocker comes in 13 colors including the white that is pictured above.

What customers say:
"Very sturdy and looks like real wood."
"Wonderful addition around the fire pit!"
