We did a TON of research before my husband and I finally honed in on this glider as the one we wanted for our nursery. First, we chose it because of the fantastic reviews. We had an incredibly hard time finding gliders in stores to sit in and evaluate. There simply weren't enough options (unless we wanted to go to a furniture store and spend a fortune, which we didn't). So we hesitantly decided to buy online and trust reviewers. We haven't had the chair long, but first impressions are that we love it. It is slightly smaller (shorter and narrower) than I personally expected, but it is comfortable for both me and my husband (5'6" and 6'1"). I'm in my third trimester, and this chair is so helpful for relieving the back pain that has started to plague me. I anticipate this will be a fantastic nursing glider, and we're happy with our purchase.
