Storytime Rocking Chair — 'Seats Four'

My favorite chair of the year.

Hal Taylor, a custom rocking chair maker in Fredericksburg, Virginia, wanted to read to his three small children while they all shared a conventional rocking chair.

He found it impossible.

So he invented the "Storytime" chair (above, with Taylor and his three kids, and below).

It's a four-passenger rocker with a child-sized ledge on each arm.

Annie Groer featured it in an item in today's Washington Post Home section.

The good news: it's not a prototype — you can buy one for you and yours.

Taylor will be at the 19th annual Washington [D.C.] Craft Show this weekend — Friday, November 17 through Sunday, November 19.

The location: Washington Convention Center: 801 Mount Vernon Place, NW; 800-832-7813; www.craftsamericashows.com; Admission: $14.

Tell him joe sent you.

It won't change anything but it'll amuse me.

Don't worry — I'll know.

But perhaps you won't be in the area anytime soon.

Or ever.

No problema.

The Creations Fine Woodworking Gallery sells the chair and will ship it anywhere.

Contact them here.

No computer?

Still no problem.
