The chair arrived earlier than the original estimate and in excellent condition.  I was disappointed with the color (the taupe is more greyish than the warmer tone I was hoping for).  We chose this chair purely due to price point.  I had sat in quite a few of the $600.00 gliders on the market as well as the Pottery Barn & Land of Nod gliders.  Outside of the $1000+ models I tried all gliders tended to pitch forward uncomfortably, so I expected this glider to do that as well.  It does indeed, but we made a minor adjustment (put the front of the base on a rug) and got a small bolster for the back and it is perfectly adequate...and for the price, quite a bargain.
