Dutalier. LOVE. And while I would have spent the money on it brand new, I found the exact one I wanted on Craigslist - black wood frame with pink and white gingham cushions from a mom who was so clean it looked brand new. So a $700 glider/ottoman cost me $200.

Jealous.  Saw those and they look great!  But I just don't think I can spend that money on one...I tried craigslist but will continue to look, thanks!!

Dutailier. I spent a LOT less money on it though, using a bunch of coupons at Babies R Us. Get on their mailing list, they send out coupons for 20% off, and you can combine it with other specials as well. I got a $500 glider for $300 after all my discounts were applied. The coupons only work for gliders that are "in stock", either in the store or at a warehouse, not on the custom gliders where you pick the wood color, fabric color, style, etc. Check out mom & pop stores too, the one near my house had Dutailier gliders for $300 that were very nice. The Shermag are chaper but nowhere near as comfortable and are very narrow, you can't use the boppy with them as well. Pre-preg I was a size 8 and I'm 5'7" and thought it was too narrow and the back was short (I couldn't lay my head back). The quality wasn't as nice either.

I know you are looking for recs but I will throw my two cents in. I do NOT rec. the Storkcraft Aspen glider from WalMart. It is not comfortable. Pay the extra money for something nice.
