- 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!

- 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!
- 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.

- Color was true to the picture online, easy to put together in that it was fairly light weight. Packaging was intact when delivered, no tears or maring of the chair. Shorter than I expected in the full reclining position, but my fault for not checking the measurements more carefully. Happy with the purchase
- What a beautiful and well constructed chair! Our favorite feature by far is the color though, not a boring navy, but the slightest pop of color! Only complaint is that the back is very low, and great for sitting, but not perfect for lounging. Otherwise perfect! Wish we could elevate it somehow!
- I love the color of the chair however, i failed to notice that it didn't have a handle to release the chair with and at 74, I'm not strong enough to use my legs to set back up I must pay more attention to details!

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

- Seat is a bit small but other than that I love it. Fabric is soft and color looks great in person. When assembling, holes don’t always line up perfectly so it was a pain to get the back secured.
- The chair and ottoman is comfortable! I ordered it in the grey color and love it! Its darker the picture but matched the nursery perfectly. It is a good size width as im petite, but if your looking for something extra wide to sit in this isn't the chair.
- I was extremely nervous ordering online but it is perfect. It is narrow but very smooth when gliding. I am 5’3 and the height of the chair is just right. The color came out perfect and not too dark.

- This glider is so comfortable! My husband has already fallen asleep on it twice. It is the perfect size and is really nice quality. It was a great addition to our nursery!
- Really like the style! We bought two for our bedroom sitting area. They fit is tight place. The quality is good. Only complaint is that one had to be bent back into place on the underside. It rubbed when I rocked.
- Very good quality and very easy to assemble! I’m a little unsure if I slide the top all the way down where it’s supposed to be but no issues yet. Really good back support as well.

- Quality of the chair is very good. You will find swivel very easy. Getting upright from a reclining position is easy. Takes time to get use to the glide or rock when you move around. I am satisfied with purchase price. It takes a short time to get delivered so don't expect overnight.
- We purchased two of these swivel rocker recliners in flint. The color was charcoal grey which matched our coach perfectly. The chairs were packed really nicely. The quality and comfort of the chairs is really nice. There is not a lot of arm rest room. Overall very nice chairs.
- I love the quality of this chair. I saw it in a condo when I was on vacation, and I have wanted it since then. It is nicer than I remember. The color is beautiful. It is so easy to get in and out of. It is perfect!

- I purchased this for friends and put it together for them while they were away having their baby. The ottoman was assembled which was a nice surprise all I had to do was put the chair together. It was a breeze and I was impressed by the quality. Thank you Wayfair!!
- The glider is very comfortable! Not the fanciest one in the world, but very good overall quality and easy to assemble. I’m very happy with it! One note though to any prospective buyers - the espresso finish had a bit more of a red tone to it than I was expecting. Still nice looking, just different than I had envisioned
- The glider was easy to assemble but keep in mind to not tighten the bolts all the way or the armrest wonât line up with the holes. The cushions are comfortable enough for the time youâre in the chair and the fabric seems quality made. I do enjoy the pockets on the armrest cushions. Itâs slim and just what I needed.

- Love it. Very comfortable. Perfect medium size and a little wider than a normal recliner. Seat could be a little more comfy/softer. But firm is good too. Wayfair was great we got our order within a few days.
