XP SAL: Glider recommendations for tall peeps needed pleez!

Hi girls!
I posted this over on SAL, but I figure you girls here would have some fantastic ideas.
So my Mom WAS going to buy our glider/ ottoman for us and told us to go pick something out. Why is it that on the floor at BRU the selection is so crummy? It seemed that the quality was lousy in the less expensive ones and the only glider that my 6 ft 5 in hubby could fit in was about $500 and the ottoman was another $190!! I think that's quite a bit steep and so my mom offered to buy our travel system instead.
Anywho- DH and I decided to buy a glider/ ottoman for ourselves, but I am having a heck of a time trying to find something that DH can sit it too. We really like the reclining version, but it's not necessary. And I'm not looking for apholstered because it will take up too much space.
Any suggestions??
Thanks so much!!!

We went with the Dutailier reclining glider and ottoman at BRU. I'm almost positive this is the expensive one you're talking about but let me tell you, it is worth EVERY PENNY!
My DH is 6'1 and it is really comfortable for him (he was sold after falling asleep in it while I was in the BRU bathroom). The back is really high and goes above each of our heads, which will be comfortable if (when) we fall asleep in it. It also reclines and glides AS it's reclined. It is the perfect chair! The ottoman has a nursing stool.
This was our one big splurge and I am SO thankful we went for it! It is really high quality and I would highly recommend it.
One thing: you can save a lot of money if you are smart with coupons. We bought it at a time when we got $150 off if we bought both the glider and the ottoman. We combined this with a 15% off one item coupon (bought on ebay for .99) and saved over $200 on the set. COMPLETELY worth it! The chair is SO nice and the cherry does not look for feel cheap at all. You'll love it!
Yep, that's the one!
I was so mad because when we looked at it, the tag said if we buy it by 11/25 we would get the ottoman for free. We went back again last weekend and we were told it was only 'til 11/5 and that other tag was an error! I'm so pi$$ed!
Thanks so much! Maybe I'll just keep my eyes out for more coupns and such. I appreciate your input!
BRU rotates their sales all the time so if you're patient the sale with the ottoman free or the one for $150 off the set will come back around! And I would seriously look into buying a coupon off ebay. I couldn't believe we saved SO much!
Good luck!
We also got the dutailier glider & ottoman from BRU. It was so worth the money though. I love it!
We missed the free ottoman sale but used a 15% off coupon & I opened a credit card to get an additional 10% off. So we paid about $500 for both. I paid off the credit card and now will probably never use it again lol so worth the savings though.
