I purchased this Glider and Ottoman as a gift for myself! With three teenagers in the house, I needed a little piece of heaven just for me. The rocker arrived right on time. Packaging was in great shape. Initially I thought I would wait until my husband came home and let him put it together, but as I was unpacking, I decided to give it a go myself. Assembly was a breeze! I had a glider years ago when my kiddos were babies, and am so glad that I purchased this one. It is smooth and quiet and incredibly comfortable. I love the padded arm rests and the fact that there are pockets for my books. I would highly recommend it! Pros: Easy assembly, smooth and quiet glide, beautiful colors and no scratches or smudges. Cons: None!
