I was on the fence about purchasing a nursery chair I hadn't sat in, but I used the buyer reviews to make the decision. Overall, the chair is pretty comfortable and offers the style I was looking for. It's not quite as soft / plush as I had hoped, but having a more firm cushion may be better for the long-term anyway, as it may soften a bit over time. Fabric is nice, not scratchy or hard, and seems durable. The glider movement is very smooth, and the chair reclines to a very comfortable position. I'm 5'6" and I can rest my head on the back cushion. Still setting up the rest of the room, so next step is to try it out with bebe!
