Variant

The DUX Pivoting Phone Holder is available for all DreamRockers except the Commercial version and keeps your phone conveniently within reach while you relax in your rocking chair. Tucked neatly under the right armrest, it pivots out from a discreet position into a comfortable viewing angle—ideal for checking notifications, changing songs, or taking a quick call hands‑free. When the phone is in place, the top portion of the screen remains visible for easy glances without picking it up. When not in use, the phone holder pivots back out of sight for a clean, built‑in look that feels like part of the chair.

It mounts using two precision CNC‑routed T‑slots hidden on the underside of the armrest. The integrated T‑attachments on the holder let it easily slide into place or slide out when needed. This smart mounting system is shared with our DUX Gimbal Cup and Wine Glass Holders—allowing you to swap accessories in seconds for cleaning, storage, or a different kind of downtime.

Engineered with a stainless‑steel spring washer, the pivot mechanism provides smooth, controlled movement and holds steady wherever you position it—no drifting or wobbling as you rock. Like all DUX components, it’s made from marine‑grade Starboard® ST and stainless‑steel hardware to ensure years of outdoor durability. Designed to fit most smartphones, it’s the perfect tech‑ready upgrade for your favorite chair.

Purpose: Keeps your phone close and easy to check while you relax and rock.
Design: Pivoting arm mechanism swings smoothly into position and holds steady where you set it.
Mounting: Slides into CNC‑cut T‑slots under the armrest—shared with DUX Gimbal accessories.
Materials: Marine‑grade Starboard® ST and stainless‑steel hardware for lasting outdoor use.
Fit: Compatible with most standard phones (excludes oversized models, Kindles, and tablets).
Use: Ideal for checking messages, changing music, or staying connected hands‑free on the porch.

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.
