Today, the Sam Maloof rocking chair is unarguably regarded as the best rocking chair in the world. The Sam Maloof rockers of today are made from the finest materials and by expert craftsmen. However, that is not how they came about. Here’s a look at how these truly magnificent and amazing rockers came into being.

Sam Maloof was born in Chino, California in the year 1916. He was the seventh child of his parents who were poor immigrants. Right from childhood, it was evident that Sam had great talent as he could build beautiful wooden toys even when he was just a child.

His passion for creating beautiful things made Sam pursue a career as a furniture maker in the 1948s. At the time, the only materials Sam could afford were useless railroad plywood that had been left as junk. However, once Sam was done working with the plywood, the result was a beautiful rocking chair that was more superior than anything at the time. The hard work and soul that Sam put into his rockers elevated them to works of art instead of mere pieces of furniture.

The design is something that simply cannot be replicated because Sam always worked with his heart and never a standard formula. Even Sam does not know what his next rocker will look like before he has finished creating it. It is this intense desire to create magic that has made rocking chairs by Sam Maloof  the best in the entire world. And the proof of quality lies in the fact that a genuine Sam Maloof rocker is available for the staggering price of over $10000!

However, since many people cannot afford such a hefty price tag, there are many imitation Sam Maloof rocking chairs available in the market for much cheaper. And if you’re really lucky, you may be able to get a used one rocker for a bargain!
