A few months ago I purchased this chair to use as a baby rocker. I am returning to Birch Lane to write a review because I am extremely disappointed in the fact that this $300 chair makes a horrible squeaking noise upon glide. I'm talking every single back and forth creates a "a super annoying sound. This is a huge deal when you are trying to create a peaceful environment to put a baby to sleep! My husband and I have tried to locate the squeak, we've tried oiling all of the metal parts to reduce the sound. 

It's a total shame because I like the look and feel of the chair, but this is a deal-breaker for a nursery. If you are contemplating buying this chair, think twice and take my advice and look elsewhere.
