This was a gift for my mom who's old glider had finally worn out. We bought the gray glider. The material is soft, the glide motion is smooth and noiseless, and the cushion is comfortable...for a while. Since this is Mom's main seating in her living area, she sits in it almost constantly. She wound up having to add another cushion to the bottom since the padding is so thin and it eventually compressed to almost nothing. 

Overall a good little glider for occasional use. If this will be used for long hours at a time, you may want to consider getting an additional cushion for the bottom.
