Puff Rocking Chairs for Sale
by Andrea Estelle 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

Hi Everyone, We are selling three puff rocker chairs and a puff ottoman. They are five years old. There are 2 black rocker cushions and one grey cushion and one black ottoman. The cushions on the rockers have some tears and repairs. The cushion on the ottoman has a stain. The steel frames are all in very good condition. It would probably be a good idea to get new cushion covers for all of them, unless you are able to fix them. We are asking $50 for the ottoman and $175 each for the rockers - it's up to you if you want to take the cushion and frame or just the frame for that price. Here is a website with the prices of these rockers new: http://www.stowecraft.com/ctgy/ctc-rockers.html We considered replacing the cushion covers ourselves and keeping them (because they are very comfy!) but have decided to go with a different style of chair. If you are interested please email me back off the listserv. You would need to arrange pick up of the chairs. Thanks for considering! Andrea Andrea Estelle Library Director "Brighten The Corner Where You Are" <http://www.otsegolibrary.org/> 401 Dix Street, Otsego, MI 49078 (269) 694-9690 http://www.otsegolibrary.org/

Farmington Community Library Grand Rapids Public Library Kalamazoo Public Library Orion Township Public Library Rochester Hills Public Library The first year of this grant was designed to build a strong foundation by enhancing skills of children's services staff and enriching the internal culture of the Library relative to early childhood and family centered services. Attached you can find a FAQ on Family Place Libraries. The Family Place Libraries (tm) initiative promotes a national model for transforming public libraries into welcoming, developmentally appropriate early learning environments for very young children, their parents and caregivers.
