Cedar Looks Log High Back Rocker

There's a specific kind of afternoon that the high back rocking chair is designed for. The one where you sit down at two and look up at five. Not sleeping — just fully, genuinely resting. The high back makes it possible because your head has somewhere to go. Without that support, you're either upright and engaged or slowly sliding into an uncomfortable angle. With it, you're just... there.

Northern White Cedar is unusually good for this application. The exclusive sanding process makes the back surface smooth enough that you can lean into it for hours — no rough grain, no sharp edges, no thought required about the chair you're sitting in. And because cedar is naturally rot-resistant, the chair handles everything outdoor life involves: summer rain, morning dew, years of sitting — with nothing required from you but an occasional sit.

Pair two together on a porch for a matched high-back set. Or mix one High Back with a Low Back Rocker (B5KD) for a setup that accommodates different preferences. Add the Cedar Looks Round Coffee Table (B9 or B10) between them and you've built a complete outdoor sitting area worth staying in.

About Log Checking

Northern White Cedar is a living wood, and like any character worth knowing, it has quirks. One of those quirks is called "checking" — the natural process where wood releases moisture and develops surface cracks as it settles. These can range from a hairline sliver to a crack running the full length of a log, and here's the important part: they only ever appear on the surface. They have zero impact on the structural strength or integrity of your furniture.

We think checking gives each piece its own fingerprint. No two chairs look exactly alike — that's a feature, not a defect.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the High Back compare to the Low Back Rocker (B5KD)?

Both are 25" wide. The High Back is 39" tall with a slightly deeper depth (36" vs 34") — it supports your head and neck for full relaxation. The Low Back keeps you more upright, which is better for conversation.

Is there a two-seat version?

Yes — the Double High Back Rocker (B5BKD) is the two-seat version at 47" wide with the same high back design.

Does it need to be painted or sealed?

No. Northern White Cedar is naturally rot and insect resistant. Optional staining is for color maintenance or UV protection only.

What sits between two rockers?

The Cedar Looks 27" Round Coffee Table (B9) works perfectly between two rockers — it's low enough not to block the rocking motion and the right size for the space between two chairs.
