I've had my glider for about 3 weeks so far with two kids jumping on it and even a cat napping on it and find it easy to vacuum or wipe down and it's so comfortable.  I wondered about the back height after reading a few other reviews but at 5'7'' it is perfect for me to rest my shoulders and arms on.  I bought a round pouf to use as a footstool (and also another thing the kids could sit on), and look forward to it being my exclusive nursing chair.
