Troutman Chair Company

Founded in the year 1924 in the foothills of North Carolina, the Troutman Chair Company is known for making the best oak rocking chairs, chairs, and stools. No glue is used in the construction process of swelled joint construction. Using the company's own sawmill, Troutman chair is able to air dry the larger posts from six to nine months, while the smaller rounds are kiln dried. After assembly, the remaining moisture in the larger pieces is drawn into the drier, smaller pieces to make them swell while the larger pieces shrink for ever tightening joints. Interlocking joinery, a type of Lincoln-log construction, adds to joint tightness. Use of these two time-honored Shaker construction techniques allows the company to back all its rockers with a lifetime frame warranty.
