Description
The Naro is a full-height rocker: 102 cm to the top of the back, so it supports head and shoulders rather than stopping at mid-back like most accent chairs. Beige linen upholstery covers a cushioned seat and backrest, carried on a metal rocking frame, and the chair measures 80 cm wide and 89 cm deep with the rocker base included. Total weight is 11.5 kg.
80 cm wide, 89 cm deep, 102 cm tall
80 W × 89 D × 102 H cm
The 89 cm depth is the number to plan around, because it already includes the rocker base — this chair projects further into a room than a static armchair of the same seat size. Add clearance behind as well: a rocker needs room to travel through its arc without knocking a wall or a skirting board.
At 102 cm tall the back rises above a standard bedhead, so the Naro reads as a piece of furniture rather than a cushion on legs, and it will be visible over a bed from the doorway.
High backrest and a rocking base
Two things carry the comfort here. The first is the 102 cm backrest, which is tall enough to take your head and shoulders instead of finishing at mid-back — that is what makes a long sit possible rather than just a pleasant five minutes.
The second is the motion. A metal rocking frame carries the whole chair, so the rock is a property of the base rather than a spring under the seat, and it stays smooth and predictable rather than bouncing. The seat and backrest are both cushioned and finished in beige linen, a breathable weave that does not get sticky through a Kiwi summer evening. Arms run the full depth on both sides.
Beige linen on a metal rocking frame
The Naro is upholstered in linen fabric in beige, over a cushioned seat and backrest with a reinforced support structure, and the whole chair sits on a metal rocking frame. Linen is a breathable natural-look weave with visible texture; it creases in use, which is part of the look rather than a fault. Beige is a light tone, so keep a throw handy if the chair will live where drinks are carried past it.

Assembly & delivery
Assembly is required, and the box holds the rocking armchair plus an assembly manual — the beige Naro does not include a footrest. One carton arrives at 72 × 42.5 × 57 cm and 13.5 kg, which is the metal rocking frame packed flat against the upholstered body. Allow floor space to lay the frame out. Most orders ship the next business day, with nationwide delivery across New Zealand.
A reading corner you actually stay in
A reading corner in a main bedroom is where a 102 cm backrest changes things — head and shoulders supported, a smooth rock from the metal base, and no reason to get up after ten minutes. The real constraint is the arc: 89 cm of depth plus rocking travel means you need clearance behind, so this is not a chair to push against a wall. Measure a metre out.
How much clearance does the beige Naro rocking armchair need behind it?
Eighty-nine centimetres is the Naro's static depth, and a rocker adds travel on top of that as the frame swings back. Allow roughly a metre from the wall so the top of the 102 cm backrest never contacts plaster or a skirting board at the end of the arc. That clearance is the single most common planning mistake with any rocking chair.
Does the beige Naro linen rocking armchair include a footrest?
The beige Naro ships as the rocking armchair plus an assembly manual — there is no footrest in this carton. The brown Naro is the version that includes a matching footrest, and is the one to choose if you want your legs supported. Both share the same 80 × 89 × 102 cm body and 11.5 kg weight, so the decision rests on the footrest and the colour.
Is the 102 cm backrest on the beige Naro tall enough to rest your head?
One hundred and two centimetres from floor to the top of the backrest puts the Naro well above head height for most seated adults, which is unusual in an accent chair and the reason it suits long sitting. Combined with the rocking motion, that support is what distinguishes it from a 64 cm-high compact chair. Expect it to be visible over a bedhead.
How smooth is the rocking motion on the beige Naro's metal frame?
The rock on the Naro comes from a metal rocking frame carrying the entire chair, not from a spring mechanism under the seat, so the motion is a steady arc rather than a bounce. A flat, level floor gives the truest travel; deep carpet will slow it down. Check the frame bolts are fully tightened after the first fortnight of use.
What does the 72 × 42.5 × 57 cm beige Naro carton contain?
One carton at 72 × 42.5 × 57 cm and 13.5 kg holds the beige linen rocking armchair with its metal frame packed flat, along with the assembly manual. Assembly is required and needs floor space to spread the frame out before fitting the body. The compact carton makes an upstairs bedroom delivery straightforward despite the finished chair being 102 cm tall.
Will beige linen on the Naro suit a main bedroom that gets afternoon sun?
Linen is a breathable weave that stays cool against the skin, which makes the beige Naro comfortable in a sunny main bedroom where a synthetic velvet would feel warm. Two caveats: linen creases visibly in use, and beige is a light tone that shows marks. Position it out of a direct all-day sun line to keep the colour even.
