Celery Furniture’s eco-friendly, giant rocking horse is big enough for moms and dads to go along for the ride or to go it alone. Even if this horse doesn’t have a head, looks like rocking good fun to me.
The horse is a customizable item that is part of Celery’s Lullaboo line of kid-approved furniture. Made from bamboo and/or formaldehyde-free medium density fiberboard, as well as low-volatile-organic-compound (VOC) paint and finishes, the products are entirely designed and fabricated in Bozeman, Montana by local craftspeople. This should be somewhat comforting considering the $725-$1165 price tag.
If Little Darling asks why you didn’t buy a real pony for all that money, just point out that a real pony can bite.
