We've had this glider for 9 months, and for the most part it's been perfect for our nursery (looks cute, reasonably priced, and comfortable). However, as others have mentioned, it's not the smoothest transition from reclined to upright - you have to really push down on the footrest in order to click it back into place. A few times, I would be holding our sleeping newborn and and the clunky sound of the footrest hitting the chair as it went to the upright position was loud enough to wake him up. Also, there's some wear and tear and discoloration on the footrest from where jeans or pants have rubbed up against it.
