Perfect size and value - were new parents, and didnt realize how valuable a chair with these features could be at feeding time, especially in the wee hours of the morning. Definitely worth it.
I bought this glider because when I read the reviews customers said that it was comfortable and great for a small space. I completely agree with them, not to mention I believe its a piece of of furniture that can be useful beyond the nursery. I didnt like the way regular rocking chairs would take triple the space and then become an eyesore. This is cute, comfy and I have already gotten many compliments from family and friends. I hope my baby likes it as well when she gets here. My 3 year old can has no problem using it either, so thats great.
When my mom went to and looked at the Storkcraft glider I had put on my baby registry, she declared it a piece of junk and told me to order something nicer and shed pay. After lots of research I decided on this glider, sight unseen. It arrived in the mail last week with the box pretty beaten up, but the chair otherwise intact and looking great. I loved that it was as simple as removing from the box and placing it where we wanted.
Even though our baby isnt due until next month and weve only had this chair for a week, Im impressed with it. It seems to be built very sturdy. Im a larger woman (59 and 230 lbs at 8 months pregnant) and I fit just fine. I was concerned if this would be more of a rock vs. glide action based on some reviews, but this definitely glides. The gliding is very smooth and quiet. The swivel motion is also effortless and smooth. We got the slate color which is a darker gray. Its not too dark, and not too light. The fabric is VERY soft to the touch, but feels substantial. The seat cushion seems to be a high density foam that will last (time will tell!). As other reviews indicate, you can see the metal tracking underneath the chair. This doesnt bother me one bit.
This chairs seat is a tad low for my tastes, but its definitely in the acceptable range of seat height. I prefer higher chairs and beds, so this is really a personal preference. As others have stated, this chair is not ideal for sleeping in. Id recommend a small lumbar pillow to use with it. The seat is comfortable as is, but a small back pillow would help with comfort if you choose to slouch down and attempt to sleep in it.
I love that this chair can be put in our bedroom or living room when our baby grows out of it. Overall, even though weve only owned this chair for a week or so it seems to be sturdy, good looking, and well-built. I have no reservations that it wont last for years to come.
We got the chair and it was all put together- all we had to do was take it out of the box. I loved that!
The color is as shown- a darkish gray. I love that the chair both swivels and glides. It will make it much easier to reach what I need when the baby gets here.
It isnt quite as comfortable as I expected it to be, but Im hoping that once I start using it everyday it will break in and not be so stiff. This probably isnt great for taller people. Im 5 5 and I think its comfy, but my husband wasnt impressed. Overall, Im happy with it. I wanted something that can be moved to a different room once we dont need it in the nursery any longer.
We have a VERY small nursery, and we needed a rocker that did not take up much room. Also, our nursery is done in black/ white/ grey, not browns (the color sceme of most rockers), so the grey color was perfect. The only sacrifice with this rocker is there is no head rest, but my husband has been able to fall asleep in it just fine We just purchased a separate nursing stool for our feet, and it works perfectly, because the stool can easily be moved out of the way when not in use.
I read ALL the reviews on this chair and debated for a while whether or not to purchase it sight unseen given some of the negative comments on the issues with delivery. We decided to take a chance and were glad we did. The chair arrived very quickly and in good condition. It comes, as others have stated, in one piece. You literally open the box, take the chair out and sit in it. It rocks and swivels and is super comfortable. My husband who is 6 foot, is comfortable in the chair. It will also look good in its use after we no longer need it in the nursery.
I originally received the chair and it was damaged. The chair frame was bent, squeaky, and did not glide correctly. The packaging for the product was absolutely awful. It was a box with very little foam to protect the chair.
On the flip side the customer service was great. They sent out a new chair immediately and paid for the return shipping of the damager chair. The new chair arrived in good condition. The chair looks great in babys room and is very comfortable. I got this chair because I wanted a chair that could be used in a babys room but could later be used in a living room. This chair will be great for that purpose. My wife did mention that the chair is not ideal for the late night nursing sessions as the chair back is not high enough to rest her head on.
Overall I would have rated this chair as a 5 star but the bad packaging and damaged first chair forced me to knock it down a star.
I am amazed at what a great chair this is for the price. Its very comfortable and has a great gliding motion. Also very stylish and modern - EXACTLY what I was wanting! True its on the small side, but most nurseries are relatively small so this chair wont take up too much space. Also, my husband and I both find it quite comfortable and were 65 and 6 respectively.
I just love this chair! The size is just right for our nursery, which is on the smaller side. The chair isnt bulky at all, but I dont consider it too small either. The fabric is nice and the color is very true to the picture. Its really great too if you are short, as its easy to get in out of which will help prevent disturbing a sleeping baby.

Worth it

Very cute and compact for a small space

Gift recipient loved it!
It was for my granddaughter who is expecting. She is very pleased to have it, and she tells me she loves it.

great small footprint rocker

Perfect for smaller nursery
I just love this chair! The size is just right for our nursery, which is on the smaller side. The chair isnt bulky at all, but I dont consider it too small either.
