- Ok so excited to review this because it is more than I expected! Exceptional quality, easy to put together, and absolutely comfortable! Needless to say it’s a beautiful color and chair! So happy I purchased it! I must have read every single review and now I understand why it is reviewed so highly! Don’t hesitate on this one!
- So comfortable, beautiful color, and love that it rocks and reclines. Makes night time snuggles with the baby so comfortable, especially when I accidentally fall asleep on it in the middle of the night. The back is tall enough that I can rest my head comfortably and not wake up with a kinked neck. I love this chair!
- I got this glider for our nursery and I couldn’t be happier! Easy to put together, beautiful color, and very cozy... trust me, I had to sleep in it with my newborn for over a month. A (Imagine crying laughing) but really, I did, and I nurse in it every day, still very cozy and really holds up! Great buy!

- I LOVE this rocker. The most comfortable rocker I’ve ever sat it. I’m 5’3” and most seats don’t support my head or back but this supports both. I could sleep in this chair. Quiet and smooth. I got it in the canvas color, which is a little creamier than I was expecting, but still very pretty and could easily go boho.
- It was a breeze to put together- the easiest piece of nursery furniture you will assemble! The light grey is the perfect color as well. Probably the best thing about the chair is the higher back which makes it perfect for my tall husband. Can’t wait to rock our sweet baby in this chair!
- Easy to assemble and came packaged well. I love the canvas color. My feet barely touch the ground though, I’m just at 5’ feet tall. They angle of the back leans back pretty far so I will need to add a lumbar pillow. The style is simple and doesn’t over take the living room. Very comfortable!

- It's just the right size. Not too big and imposing. The color is a gorgeous soft beige. Only the back needed to be assembled onto the chair and it was easy and fast. It slides into a rail on each side and then bolts from the bottom. And it is very comfortable to sit in.
- This chair was perfect for my son's nursery. I absolutely love it! It's so comfortable. Anyone who comes in the room and sits in it has a hard time getting up. The fabric is soft and smooth, and of great quality. I got the navy color which is a very rich, true navy blue. The assembly was SUPER easy.
- Love the chair. I bought the frozen blue color. Beautiful color and upholstery is so soft. Perfect size if you have a small house or small room. Puts my great grandson to sleep in minutes. Arms are perfect height to cradle him. It’s a perfect chair. Which is what everyone who sites in it says. Love my chair.

- Very functional chair. Not soft but as the potential with some breaking in. Color is great, as expected. A little rough putting the legrest down as other said but to be expected for this kind of chair. Overall a great chair and you can't beat the price.
- Nice chair! Color is true to what was online. 4 stars because it is sooooo hard to close the footrest once reclined. I'm a 5'5" woman, 145lbs and cannot close with my legs for the life of me. My husband had no problem. That is my only issue. Otherwise nice glider
- True to color and size. I ordered the chair in taupe and it’s a lovely color. It has a pretty strong smell right out of packaging so be sure to air it out before use. It’s very well made and sturdy. Although the description says ‘gliding’, to me it felt more like a gentle rocking.

- Easy assembly. I like the darker gray color more than I thought. Great for our small nursery! My husband and I both find it comfortable. Only giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because our baby isn't here yet so I can't review that aspect yet.
- The chair is as advertised. A nice color, and perfect for a smaller space. It doesn’t glide while reclined, which I didn’t see before purchasing. The footrest could be sturdier, it feels like particleboard covered in batting a fabric. Overall, for the price, I can’t complain.
- This chair is exactly what we were looking for to put in our baby’s nursery! Comfortable, not too big, perfect gray color, and great sturdy material. It took a total of 5 minutes to put together and the chair glides and reclines easily. We can’t wait to use it when our little one arrives!
