With Shaker furniture undergoing a revival, now is the time to rock its clean lines and prudent use of materials as both are striking a chord with post-boom interioristas.

Michael Lawlor runs the Shaker Store in the Co Kildare village of Ballitore (059 8623372).

He sells reproduction pieces in both kit and ready-built formats and is offering readers the No 7 tape-back rocker at 40 per cent off its kit price.

Normally priced €435, the reduced price of €260 offers excellent value.

Lawlor is also offering the finished piece for €500 instead of its normal €630 price. This is a saving of 21 per cent.
