For Riyadh families, choosing furniture is never just about "looking good" – it needs to fit the solemnity of Arab culture, withstand the scorching desert heat, and work well in both living rooms and courtyards. The custom rocking chair from chiuchiufurniture hits all three points: this rocking chair has an embroidered backrest with traditional geometric patterns, breathable rattan armrests, and it’s perfect for Ramadan guest receptions or sipping Arabic coffee while rocking this rocking chair gently. Today, let’s talk about why this rocking chair should be a "must-have" for Riyadh homes, what to look for when choosing a rocking chair, and all the thoughtful details that make this rocking chair fit local needs.
1. The "Cultural Gene" of Riyadh’s Rocking Chair: A Rocking Chair That Brings Traditional Symbols to Daily Life
Riyadh homes are never without traces of Arab culture – majlis (reception room) carpets have geometric patterns, walls often hang calligraphy decorations, and even tea sets reflect symmetrical aesthetics. If a rocking chair ignores these elements, no matter how comfortable the rocking chair is, it will feel like an "outsider". chiuchiufurniture’s rocking chair understands this well, hiding local symbols in every detail of this rocking chair.
First, the patterns. The backrest of this rocking chair isn’t just plain fabric; it’s embroidered with miniaturized Arab mosaic geometric patterns – diamonds nested with curves, outlined in beige and light gold. This makes the rocking chair blend in with carpets and tapestries without overpowering the living room’s main style. Guests will know at a glance when they see this rocking chair, "This is furniture that gets us". If you prefer something more personal, you can even customize a rocking chair with Arabic calligraphy of your family name, turning this rocking chair into a one-of-a-kind family symbol.
Then, the material and color. Riyadh people love warm earth tones, so this rocking chair uses desert-sand colored wear-resistant fabric, with armrests wrapped in light brown top-grain leather. This color scheme makes the rocking chair pair perfectly with common walnut furniture and beige walls – unlike those cool-toned imported rocking chairs that always look out of place. It’s safe to say this rocking chair has "Riyadh genes" through and through; it doesn’t force cultural elements, but truly integrates the rocking chair into daily aesthetics.
Everyone in Riyadh knows how "scorching" summer can be – temperatures hit 45°C regularly, sunlight makes furniture burn hot, and ordinary rocking chairs with regular fabric make you sweat in minutes. But this rocking chair is specially designed for the desert climate, with every detail solving the problems of heat resistance, breathability, and durability for the rocking chair, making this rocking chair able to withstand Riyadh’s climate.
First, the fabric. chiuchiufurniture chose imported UV-resistant polyester blend fabric for this rocking chair. I specifically asked – a rocking chair made with this fabric won’t fade even after 3 years of exposure to Riyadh’s strong sunlight, much more durable than a rocking chair with ordinary cotton fabric. Plus, the fabric has tiny breathable pores; even if you rock this rocking chair on the balcony in summer, your back won’t sweat. If you prefer a more premium feel, you can choose the top-grain leather version of the rocking chair – this leather is specially treated with open pores for breathability, keeping you cool when sitting on this rocking chair in summer, 10 times more comfortable than plastic chairs and much more breathable than ordinary leather rocking chairs.
Then, the frame and armrests of the rocking chair. This rocking chair doesn’t use ordinary wood that cracks easily when exposed to heat; it uses heat-resistant ash wood for the frame. Even if the living room AC breaks occasionally and the temperature rises, this rocking chair won’t warp. The armrests of the rocking chair are woven with rattan – much more breathable than solid wood. Your hands will feel cool resting on the rattan armrests of the rocking chair, unlike metal-armrested rocking chairs that get scorching hot in the sun. The most thoughtful part is the "shock-absorbing rockers" on the base of this rocking chair. Riyadh floors are mostly marble or tile, and ordinary rocking chairs slip and make noise when rocking. But this rocking chair has anti-slip rubber on the rocker bottoms, so it rocks steadily and quietly. You can even rock this rocking chair to soothe a baby at midnight without disturbing your family.
3. From Majlis to Courtyard: A Rocking Chair Suitable for All Scenes in Riyadh
Riyadh people have diverse living scenes – the majlis for guests, the courtyard for tea, and maybe a chair in the bedroom for relaxation. When choosing a rocking chair, we always worry that "it works in one place but is idle elsewhere". But this rocking chair is truly "all-scene compatible" – this rocking chair fits anywhere, making it a versatile rocking chair.
First, the majlis. This is the most formal room in the house. When there are many guests and not enough sofas, adding two of these rocking chairs is perfect – the seat depth of this rocking chair is 10cm wider than ordinary rocking chairs. Guests can sit cross-legged comfortably on this rocking chair, and the rocking amplitude of the rocking chair is small, so it doesn’t look impolite; instead, it helps guests relax leaning on the rocking chair. A friend of mine has two of these rocking chairs. During Ramadan last time, everyone sat around the rocking chairs chatting, saying it’s much more comfortable than hard stools. This rocking chair became the "favorite" in the reception room.
Then the courtyard. Almost every Riyadh family has a courtyard. Sitting there enjoying the breeze and a cup of coffee in the evening, the rocking chair becomes a "magic tool". This rocking chair is waterproof – even if it gets splashed by rain occasionally, just wipe the rocking chair dry and it won’t mold, much more durable than ordinary fabric rocking chairs. The rocking chair with rattan armrests isn’t afraid of sun exposure, unlike fabric chairs that look old in days outdoors. I’ve tried rocking this rocking chair in the courtyard watching the sunset – rocking the rocking chair slowly, with wind blowing through the rattan gaps of the rocking chair, it’s absolutely cozy.
It also fits perfectly in the bedroom to place this rocking chair. After reading the Quran at night, rocking the rocking chair to think is more comfortable than sitting on the bed – the backrest angle of this rocking chair is 105 degrees, fitting the waist perfectly without needing an extra pillow. You won’t get backache even after rocking this rocking chair for 10 minutes. And this rocking chair isn’t bulky, only 65cm wide. Even if the bedroom is small, placing the rocking chair next to the bedside table won’t take up space. It’s safe to say one such rocking chair can cover all the "relaxation corners" of the house.
The worst part of buying furniture is "getting something that doesn’t fit and having no after-sales support", especially when choosing a rocking chair that will be used for a long time, it’s even more important to choose a reliable one. But chiuchiufurniture has been in this business for years, serving high-end hotels like Diaoyutai and Hilton, so they understand Riyadh customers’ needs for choosing a rocking chair perfectly. The whole process from choosing a rocking chair to receiving this rocking chair is worry-free.
First, customization. If your majlis has a unique style or you need a special-sized rocking chair, just contact their designers – you can choose the pattern, fabric, and wood of the rocking chair, and even adjust the height of the rocking chair according to your ceiling height. A neighbor of mine customized a rocking chair with storage – the base of this rocking chair opens to hold pillows, perfect for small apartments when choosing a rocking chair. The designer will also show you 3D renderings of the rocking chair, so you can modify it until you’re satisfied, no need to worry about receiving a rocking chair different from what you imagined.
Then logistics and installation. chiuchiufurniture has a dedicated Middle East logistics line – it only takes 2 weeks to ship the rocking chair from Foshan to Riyadh, much faster than other furniture stores shipping rocking chairs. And they deliver and install the rocking chair door-to-door. The installers are familiar with local layouts; they’ll adjust the rocker tightness of the rocking chair for you and teach you how to maintain this rocking chair – like which leather conditioner to use for the leather version of the rocking chair and how to clean the rattan version of the rocking chair, explaining clearly.
Most reassuring is the after-sales service. The frame of this rocking chair has a 5-year warranty – if the rocking chair cracks or warps, it’s repaired for free. The fabric of the rocking chair has a 2-year warranty – if it fades, it’s replaced for free. A colleague of mine had a loose rocker on his rocking chair; he called and the repairman came to fix the rocking chair the next day, much faster than the after-sales service of local furniture stores for rocking chairs.
