Wanted to love this but can’t and currently looking for another glider :( I’m 5’1 and it has been a struggle maneuvering in/out of this glider especially as baby gains weight. Immediately post partum with perineal pain it was even worse. If I’m sitting all the way in the chair with my back against the chair back my feet are a good 4 plus inches off the floor, gliding then becomes impossible. This necessitates getting the ottoman but try to adjust yourself when you’re holding baby, can’t touch the floor and are sore all over!
