I never write reviews but hopefully someone finds this helpful (as I went completely off what others said about this glider when deciding to purchase for our nursery).  The chair is extremely comfortable, has a smooth glide/rock, and was super easy to put together.  My husband also fits comfortably in this chair (the back does not hit at his neck and it is wide enough) - he is about 5'7" and muscular/athletic build for reference.  We ordered the chair in the Gray color.
