yvonne, yes i guess we can use it in the dining. The dinining room is small and doesnt have any windows. the kitchen has a lot of natural light that will come across to the dining due to the open kitchen plan. We will be buying new furniture for the dining. We could buy a glass top table with wood chairs / wood table with wood chairs. The room will be painted offwhite similar color as the base of this fabric. All walls will be painted the same color by the builder, Afer taking possession of the house we can repaint it where needed for accent wall etc. Its an appartment, we live in India.

As Karthik has suggested above you have to use good quality anchor bolts as per the load specifications . If you want to be doubly sure use two anchor bolts so that the load is shared. You will need changes to the chain links for that. Thanks Nitin Cornerstone Designs Bangalore.

Hello dopcam, Anchor bolts have to be mounted on ceiling. If your false ceiling is already done you may have to get a section of it opened and after the work is done it may be closed. Of course after providing for the swing space. Thanks Nitin Cornerstone Designs Bangalore.

As Mr Raghu has commented, designer pieces (in whatever category) are not for ergonomics or practicality for normal use. This one is a famous design by a group of professors at the Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand to aid Autism. You will have to order a piece from New Zealand to be true to its purpose. Copying can be done by a skilled carpenter in India, no doubt, but would still be expensive and a fake. Expert from Inhabitat website: Cradle is a sustainable rocking chair created by a collaborative effort to aid people with autism and Rhythmic Movement Disorder (RMD). Developed within the Victoria University of Wellington, this cocoon-like seat is made from cold-bent plywood. Because rocking is one of the calming activities that is recommended for autistic folks, this special seat is a soothing and aesthetically pleasing addition to their homes.
