My daughter picked this glider out when I told her I would purchase one for her baby's nursery.  She was looking for something compact and modern, but still wanted the comfort and practicality of a glider.  It arrived last week and it was a darling chair, but would it pass the comfort test?  It did!  Very soft, suede-like fabric with a faint geometric print I hadn't noticed in the photo, and just the right blend of cush and support so you can rise from the chair with a sleeping baby in your arms without a struggle.  It looks great in the room, occupying a small corner space and not overwhelming the room.  So far, so good!
