I received the glider Wednesday and put it together in about an hour by myself (I'm seven months pregnant, and hubby wasn't home yet). It looks exactly as pictured and was pretty easy to assemble. I've sat in it a little bit and so far, so good. It is very comfortable for my 5 foot frame and my 6 foot tall husband even likes it. The fabric is still a little squeaky since it's new. I'm sure that will subside once it's more broken in. It looks great in our little man's bedroom!
