Rocking Monsters rides past Kickstarter goal

Rocking Monsters, a new line of wooden rockers, have passed their goal on Kickstarter.
Coming in Ghost, Octopus and Shark forms, each rocker is constructed out of solid birch plywood, food-grade mineral oil, and acrylic paints; making the range completely environmentally friendly.
Rocking Monsters founder Constantin Osipov had the idea for the range following the birth of his child, while his friend and fellow designer Alexey Sheluho helped to physically create the line.
The company, based in San Francsico, went to Kickstarter looking to raise $5,000, and has just passed that mark with 14 days of the campaign still to go.
