Question from allyv
Hi Debra,
I’m searching for a rocking chair or comfy reading chair for my 2 1/2 year old. We already have a pottery barn kids hybrid anywhere chair which she loves but I recently found out the foam contents of that chair is polyurethane along with 30% recycled soy material (whatever that means). In your opinion, is that pottery barn chair safe to keep in her bedroom? she likes to keep it next to her bed. And second, what is another chair you recommend (we’ll put one for her in my son’s (baby) room so she can read books, etc.
Thank You,
Ally
Debra’s Answer
If it were me, I would remove the chair with the polyurethane foam.
Just last week when I was in New Jersey at White Lotus Home, they recommended a company they know called Room Doctor. They make affordable chemical-free solid wood furniture. They just might be able to make any chair you want.
Any updates with where to get a non toxic kids (or adult) rocking chair??
Any unfinished furniture store.
Here’s one I found online by searching “solid wood unfinished kids rocking chair.”
Dixie Seating Company No. 45 Honeysuckle Big Kids Rocker. Made of solid hardwoods, can order unfinished.
