I think prices at the Amana Furniture Shop may be a good reference point for you. http://www.amanafurniture.com/ I say this because everything is hand made by an individual craftsman. The quality of their workmanship is incredible. They do commercially what many of us try to do in our workshops. No assembly lines. Amana has a well established reputation and they have some (limited) success selling over the internet but for furniture of this quality, people want to see and feel the furniture before buying it. I would look for a piece of furniture on their website that is comparable to yours and I would consider their price to be the maximum possible. Personally, I would probably price at about 75% of their price but that’s up to you. You probably don’t have the reputation they have (yet). I would also encourage you to market in a way that encourages people to see and feel and even sit in your rocker. Personally, I would not buy something like this over the internet. BTW – the Amana Furniture Shop is about 25 miles from where I live and they do offer tours and/or you can watch the craftsmen from behind a glass. -- Rich, Cedar Rapids, IA - I'm a woodworker.
