We just got this glider 4 days ago and we already love it! It glides and swivels easily, the back is very tall (tall enough for my 6'2" husband to comfortably lay his head back on it), and it is already fairly comfortable. I am always worried that chairs will be too firm and they won't soften up quickly. This chair seems to be good quality and it is not too firm. I love that it reclines and the modern look of it is perfect for my nursery. The material is definitely more of a microfiber-ish material. We are a little worried about keeping it clean. Also, we have a cat and the chair is already attracting her fur, even though she is not allowed on the chair. I'm hoping that the chair will be easy to keep clean with vacuuming and a little tough stuff when needed. Overall I am very happy with this purchase, it is exactly what I was hoping for.
