Description
The Kiva Velvet Rocking Armchair in dark grey measures 67 × 87 × 90 cm and weighs 9.8 kg. Velvet fabric upholstery covers a cushioned seat and back over a wooden frame, and the chair sits on a curved rocking base rather than legs. The 87 cm depth comes from those rockers, which is the dimension to plan around. Assembly is required.
Plan for the rockers, not the seat
67 × 87 × 90 cm
The dark grey Kiva is only 67 cm across, but it runs 87 cm front to back because the curved rocking base extends beyond the seat. Height is 90 cm to the top of the back. That depth is the figure that decides where it can go: a rocker needs clear floor behind it as well as in front, so do not push it flat against a skirting board. It weighs 9.8 kg and ships in a 71 × 32.5 × 71 cm carton at 11.8 kg.
Motion is the comfort feature
What separates the dark grey Kiva from a static chair is the curved base: the whole frame rocks in a smooth arc rather than tilting on a mechanism, so there is nothing to adjust and nothing to lock. The seat and back are cushioned over a wooden frame, and the back carries to 90 cm overall, which keeps your shoulders supported through the motion. Padded armrests give you something to hold as the chair moves.
Velvet over a wooden frame and base
The dark grey Kiva is specified as velvet fabric upholstery over a wooden frame construction, with a curved rocking base and a cushioned seating structure. Velvet is directional, so the dark grey will shade lighter or deeper depending on how the pile lies. The wooden base is the part that touches the floor — on bare boards a rug or felt strip under the rockers keeps the finish intact.

Assembly & delivery
Assembly is required. The package contains one Kiva Velvet Rocking Armchair in dark grey, in a carton measuring 71 × 32.5 × 71 cm and weighing 11.8 kg. Because the rocking base is the structural element, assemble the chair on a level floor and check it rocks evenly before you load it. Most orders ship the next business day, with nationwide delivery across New Zealand.
The nursery corner where you sit and rock
A nursery is the room this dark grey velvet rocker is aimed at: the curved base gives continuous motion at 3 a.m. without a mechanism to click, and 67 cm of width slots beside a cot. The trade-off is the 87 cm depth of the rockers, which needs clear floor front and back. Leave 15 cm behind it and keep the arc free.
How much floor space does the dark grey Kiva rocking armchair need?
The dark grey Kiva is 67 cm wide but 87 cm deep, because the curved rocking base runs well beyond the seat. It stands 90 cm high. Plan for that 87 cm plus clear space behind, since a rocker travels backwards through its arc; pushed hard against a wall it will knock the skirting rather than rock freely.
How does the rocking motion work on the dark grey Kiva?
The dark grey Kiva rocks on a curved wooden base rather than a spring or glider mechanism, so the whole chair moves in one smooth arc with nothing to adjust, lock or service. Motion is driven by your own weight shift. On carpet the arc feels slower and shorter than on a hard floor, which some people prefer.
Is dark grey velvet practical on a rocking chair?
Dark grey velvet on the Kiva hides everyday marks better than a pale cover, which matters on a chair used for long sits in a nursery. Velvet is directional, so the grey will look lighter or deeper depending on how the pile is brushed. A soft brush in one direction evens out the 67 cm seat and back.
Will the dark grey Kiva mark a wooden floor as it rocks?
The curved wooden base of the dark grey Kiva is what contacts the floor, and repeated rocking over bare boards can burnish a line into the finish. A rug under the 87 cm footprint, or felt strips along the rockers, prevents it. At 9.8 kg the chair is light enough to lift while you put something down.
How tall is the dark grey Kiva and does it support the shoulders?
Overall height on the dark grey Kiva is 90 cm, which brings the back up behind the shoulders rather than stopping at mid-back. That matters more on a rocker than a static chair, because the motion works best when your upper body stays supported. The padded armrests also give you something to hold through the arc.
What is in the box with the dark grey Kiva and how heavy is it?
One Kiva Velvet Rocking Armchair in dark grey is the entire package contents, in a carton of 71 × 32.5 × 71 cm weighing 11.8 kg. Assembly is required. Build it on a level floor and check the rockers make even contact before use, because an uneven assembly shows up immediately as a wobble.
