Shermag or stork craft gliders....

Are these any good in terms of value? Or is dutalier so much better it's worth the money?

We have a Shermag glider/ottaman and I really like it.  I could never afford a dutailer so I never looked at it but the Shermag is perfect for us (we will be able to use it as furniture when we are done with it in the nursery).

Only thing with Shermag is that you need to tighten the glider screws on a regular basis or things get wobbly when the glider is rocking.

My Shermag broke this week! The rocking mechanism locked up and it won't rock anymore. After only 16 months!

Full disclosure: I still rock my son to sleep for naps and bedtime so that chair has a LOT of miles on it. But still. I thought it would last longer. Although my DH swears he's going to fix it with some duct tape. We shall see.

I love our Shermag.  I sat in all kinds and didn't find the Dutalier any more comfortable.

Love my Shermag like there's no tomorrow!!

We have the reclining glider and I've logged more butt hours in that thing than in my car (and I drive for work).

We've had it for about 5 years now.  It's gone thru BF'ing 2 babies and is still used every single night for story time - often with one or both of them climbing like monkeys on the side of the arm and hanging off the back.

It's held up GREAT.

We've needed to tighten it down one time in 5 years.

Can't speak highly enough about it!
