Variant

The DUX Gimbal Cup Holder gives your rocking chair a safe, steady place to park your drink—even while you’re in motion. Only for DreamRockers, it slides into a discreet, pre‑cut slot on the underside of the armrest for a clean, integrated look that feels built in from day one. Engineered with a clever gimbal mechanism, it keeps cups, tumblers, and cans upright as you rock or sway, so you can relax with hands free and no worries about splashes.

Purpose: Keeps your drink level and secure while your chair rocks or moves.
Design: One‑of‑a‑kind gimbal mechanism made specifically for our rocking chairs.
Attachment: Slides into a dedicated, pre‑cut slot under the armrest—no visible brackets, no guesswork.
Materials: Starboard ST and stainless fasteners for true porch and deck use.
Use: Perfect for porches, decks, and “drink in hand” evenings—hands free, no splashes.

Details & Craftsmanship

The Gimbal Cup Holder was created to solve a familiar porch problem: once you start rocking, your drink starts sloshing. Instead of accepting that as part of the experience, this design uses a simple but precise gimbal concept—allowing the holder itself to pivot independently of the chair’s motion. As you rock or sway, the cup cradle naturally finds level, keeping your drink upright without you needing to think about it. You rock the way you want; the holder quietly does the work of staying balanced.

On DreamRockers, the integration is especially seamless. Each rocker arm includes a discreet slot on the underside, sized specifically for the Gimbal Cup Holder’s mounting tongue. You slide the holder into place and it locks in cleanly, with no exposed brackets or improvised hardware—just a purposeful, built‑in look that matches the rest of the chair’s engineering. When you want to remove or reposition it, you simply slide it back out.

For other rocking chairs with suitable arm construction, the holder mounts to the underside of the arm using the two included stainless steel screws. This keeps the hardware mostly out of sight while placing the drink at a comfortable reach point. The mounting plate is compact and straightforward, making it a practical upgrade for many wood or poly rockers beyond the DUX line.

Materials are chosen for outdoor life: weather‑resistant components and stainless fasteners stand up to sun, moisture, and temperature swings without rusting or seizing. Whether on a coastal porch or mountain deck, the mechanism is designed to keep moving smoothly season after season. For many customers, the Gimbal Cup Holder quickly becomes one of those “how did I live without this?” details—turning a favorite rocker into a more complete, hands‑free relaxation spot where both you and your drink are well cared for.

Care and Maintenance:

Routine cleaning: Rinse with a hose, then wipe with mild soap and water. For tougher grime, use a non‑abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth or soft nylon brush. Avoid excessive scrubbing pressure to preserve the matte finish.
Stain removal: For persistent stains, let a diluted bleach solution sit briefly, then rinse thoroughly. Citrus cleaner, isopropyl alcohol, or mineral spirits can help with grease and sunscreen; test in a small area first.
Scratch care: Light surface scuffs can often be minimized with automotive silicone spray or furniture polish; do not use on walking surfaces. Deep gouges are cosmetic and do not affect performance.
No refinishing required: Starboard ST is UV‑stabilized, color‑through material that won’t peel or flake, and it cannot be painted. Keep wood oils (e.g., teak oil) and wood stains away from the surface.
Hardware check: Rinse salt and pollen periodically. Inspect 316 stainless fasteners seasonally; tighten if needed.
Pressure washing: Safe when used at moderate pressure and distance; avoid aggressive tips held close to the surface.
Seasonal care: No storage or sealing required. If storing, keep pieces clean and dry, and avoid heat above 180°F.
General setup: Place on level surfaces to reduce uneven wear on rocker rails or feet. Lift to move—don’t drag across abrasive concrete.
