This chair is solid and the fabric is great quality.  I absolutely love the color (lagoon).  It is a beautiful pop of color in our otherwise neutral nursery.  It will need to be paired with an ottoman (which should arrive today from wayfair).  I am 5' 9" and fit just fine in the chair -- able to lean back and rest my head if necessary.  The mechanics of the glider are sturdy and silent.  Very happy with my purchase.
