Seating arrangements for nursery

Not sure which is a better option, so PAIF poll!
Glider with ottoman vs recliner/rocker?
Married 2007
3 Clomid IUIs -- BFNs
IVF #1 never made it to transfer
On "egg health" cocktail DHEA/CoQ10/FRC/Pregnitude/Melatonin
Starting IVF #2 for Feb 2013
Follistim/Menopur/Ganirelix
Cancelled mid-cycle due to high P4 levels early on.
OCPs again for IVF 2.5 mid-March. IVF 2.5 transferred two "gorgeous" 5-day blasts and BFFN. Even REI is baffled
On indefinite hold until a huge stroke of serendipity led me to IVF 3 May 2014
Testing found positive cardiolipins/APS, now on lovenox and intralipid infusions
Transfer of 2 5-day blasts and (FINALLY) BFFP!! 1st ultrasound shows two sacs and two HB, but one is sluggish, almost expecting vanishing twin Subsequent ultrasound confirmed vanishing twin, but my other Little critter looks fantastic!

    I was initially planning to get a gliding recliner that would be comfy but that didn't look like nursery furniture so we could use after baby. My mom ended up giving us a glider/ottoman though so that's what we'll have! They serve the same purpose and I'd imagine comfort is pretty comparable, so if I were buying I'd probably pick the most versatile option for reuse.

    I was a nanny and didn't enjoy the Dutelier glider. I much prefer glider recliners from a company like Best Furniture's Lullaby collection, so that's what we got. And we LOVE it! Definitely more expensive but was worth it for us!

     I got a rocking chair with an ottoman. Maybe it's a glider but it doesn't "look" like a glider...I hated the way they looked. It looks like a normal sofa chair, it just happens to rock. Originally I wasn't going to get an ottoman but I went to the store to test them out and mmmmm comfy

    I want a recliner. I was trying to put one from Little Castle on my registry at BBB this weekend but they couldn't figure out how to add the fabric color combo I wanted. The lady helping me was so unprofessional & not the brightest. She called another employee over for help & after 25 minutes they still could not figure it out so I said forget it & left! Sorry for the novel but this just happened yesterday so I'm still annoyed! :::sigh:::

    I was a nanny and didn't enjoy the Dutelier glider.

    I don't like the look of these, either. I'm looking for something that can transition or even work in another room later, but some of those gliders are more expensive than all of my nursery furniture put together!! I'm leaning towards a recliner, but can't decide

I'd like to be able to use it elsewhere in the future.

    I ended up getting a recliner for DS and I never used it. For the twins I don't think I'll use it either since it probably won't be wide enough. Luckily it is an upholstered recliner so we can move it and use it somewhere else in the house.

    I have no idea what brand we got. I went to BBB and fell in love with this over sized corduroy power recliner. Someone had special ordered it and didn't like the color. They had it marked down from $850 to $650 and I had one of their 20% off coupons. When they rang it up I'm not how they messed it up so bad, I only ended up paying $370 for the chair.

    The nursery will be a little tight now, but that's ok. I know how much we used a rocking chair with DD that I wanted a good one.

    I would love one of those old fashioned rockers. But I can't find em anywhere. Instead, we are getting one of those rockers from BRU, unless I can find something I like better.

    I hadn't thought about this - we're not up to the furniture planning stages yet.  I have an old fashioned wooden rocking chair that I inherited from my SiL, and I just assumed we would use that. Now you guys have given me glider/recliner envy. 

    I guess we'll see how much I'm tempted if I ever make it to the nursery planning stage.
