Fabric on Gliders?? Help Please!
DH and I went yesterday to buy our glider... we are actually getting a swivel/rocher chair/recliner versus the typical glider... Anyhow, the fabric that I had wanted was discontinued and I am still so pissed because looking at all the other fabrics last night, I couldn't decided. A lot of them were dull colors and just didn't strike me as being in a baby's room.
Anyhow, one that I did notice was the minky dot type of fabric. I like it for the color (very light green) and softness but DH is concerned about durability. WDYT? It is a Best Chair and their website goes on and on about their standards of fabrics. The lady in the store says that it wears well (but why would she say otherwise).
It can be spot cleaned but the fabric is so soft and fuzzy, I guess he is concerned about cleaning it and it looking worn out. I just don't want some beige recliner in the room. I want it to look babyish...
Any thoughts on the durablitiy of Minky Dot... Would you go with it or choose another fabric type. Any experiences with Best Chairs?
Re: Fabric on Gliders?? Help Please!
I don't really have an answer for you but wanted to give you my 2 cents regarding "looking babyish" - we chose the opposite b/c we plan to use the glider long after we are done having babies. Just something to consider, it's an expensive piece of furniture and you may want it to last more than 2-3 years.
perhaps someone else will have an answer for you
I did take that into consideration, however we plan on having 3 children at least so it would need to be reupolstered before being put into a living room later down the road. It will remain in a nursery for quite a while...
Ughhh... I don't know what to do. The previous fabric that got discontinued was a good in between that could have been used in a room other than a baby room. I don't know why I am stressing over this so much.
is the fabric removable for washing? if so, then you could get the one you like now and get a different one later
