We bought this glider for our nursery after a lot of research and extensive review reading.  We had already bought and returned a glider/ottoman combo because of the amount of room it took up - we really wanted a gliding recliner and we found it. Just like most reviewers say,  this chair is sleek, but most importantly,  it is extremely comfortable. Our little one isn't here yet (any day now),  but my husband and I both love sitting in this chair whenever we get a chance.  Highly recommended!
