For those who have a glider

For those of you ladies who have a glider.....did you also get the ottoman?  Is it worth it?  We received the glider off our registry but not the ottoman.  It's an additional $100 or so---is it worth it to get it?

Re: For those who have a glider

  • My Mom bought our glider, it was $490.  We bought the ottoman that matches for $190.  I feel like I wouldn't sit there unless it had an ottoman.  I am a "put my feet up" kind of girl.  Even my couch has a chaise lounge attached to it!  So I say, yes buy the ottoman also.

  • I use my glider and ottoman everynight.  I sit with DS and rock him for a few minutes.  Def worth it i think.
  • We got one from BRU that came with the ottoman... I don't think it would be as comfy without it.

  • Decision made--I will order it this weekend.  I am sure in the long run I will be happy that I did.

  • We didn't get the ottoman but then someone pointed out to me that she spent many nights sleeping in the glider and was glad to have the ottoman.  I really don't think we have room for an ottoman otherwise I would get it.  I guess if I end up needed to sleep somewhere with the baby we will end up in the living room.
  • I took a cheaper route:

    I bought a pricier rocker/glider from a boutique store, but didn't want to spend the $250 to get the ottoman.  The chair is a black and white toille, so I bought an older ugly gliding ottoman (one that matches the "grandma" wooden rockers with pads on them) off of craigslist for $10.  I painted the wood part black and bought a black and white polka dot fabric and recovered the pad.  The "set" turned out even cuter than if they had been a matching pair and cost me a whole lot less!
