Dutailier and Monte glider/recliners

JD2007

Hey there -- Can anyone tell me approx how much the Dutailier modern-design swivel/glider/recliner is?  I saw a Monte glider/recliner today that was about 1100-1200 and am wondering how the two compare. 

If you selected one, any reason why you chose one over the other?

Thanks!

We got the Monte "luca" in orange (our only "splurge" nursery item) because we thought it was the most comfortable and the scale of it suits DH and I quite well. Good luck choosing!

I saw and sat in them both and then some - Monte, Dutalier, Jennifer Delonge, Little Castle etc etc etc...Monte beat them all for us. We just loved the look, comfort, quality etc. My least fave were Little Castle. I thought JD was close to Monte and Dutalier was also very nice but I didn't like the designs as much. I hope that ridiculous rambling helped you in some way.

Heart our Monte Glider, definitely a splurge, but it's something we'll have forever. We got it in brown so it doesn't look "babyish," and it's insanely comfortable. I actually bought it in Portland, OR from Posh Baby where they offer free shipping and no sales tax. I was in town there for a conference and went to the store in person to try it out. Fell in love after looking at it online and saving for it for two years. I ordered it and the ottoman and had it shipped to TN. One of the best purchases ever.

We got a Dutailier prestige collection recliner/glider.  It was a complete splurge (and definitely more expensive than the Monte) but I found that it was so much more comfortable than the Monte.  That said, the Monte was comfortable but as soon as I sat in the Dutailier I was sold and DH could not convince me to go down to the Monte after that.

I have the Dutalier "Jazz" recliner/glider and like it.  I think it was on sale for $1000 or $1100 when I got it.  I don't remember seeing any Monte chairs for comparison.  We got this particular model because we're short and it was one of the few that we could comfortably rest our feet on the floor while sitting in but still had the features we wanted.
