I was on the hunt for a glider for our nursery and baby on the way. I am 5' 10'' and my husband is 6'. My priorities were 1) could rest your head on the back, 2) had a firm seat and you didnt sink down into it too much, 3) reclining was a plus. I never thought I would order a chair and I hadn't yet sat in but after reading the reviews I am SO GLAD we purchased this chair. It is so comfortable and perfect for our nursery. The foot rest is a little hard to close, but I just add a little kick back and its fine. The back is very tall and the cushions are very comfortable. I LOVE this chair and would highly recommend it!
