recommend your rocking chair/glider/etc?

daisygirl17 · February 2011

So...my husband's birthday is next week, and my mom thought it would be cute to send him the first baby gift...so she sent us a rocking chair. It was such a cute idea, but it is HUGE. And it didn't rock very well. She insisted that we only keep it if we loved it, so we took it back. With the money, we still want to buy either a rocking chair or glider, but I'm looking for recommendations...what are you getting? what do you have? what have you heard is awesome?

TIA

We have a Best Chair glider/recliner and it's awesome. It's the Bilana model.

We have the Best Chair model Tryp which is a glider/recliner and LOVE it.

I just got my Stork Craft glider from Amazon. It's really comfortable and a nice compact size. I've only had it for two days, but I love it so far.

We just ordered a swivel glider with ottoman by Little Castle (the design is Valentino). So, we actually decided to splurge and go with an upholstered one, even though it was a good bit more than we originally thought we wanted to spend, but we liked the option of moving it to another room when we no longer really need it in the nursery.

I totally fell in love with gliders after first sitting in one, I can't wait till it arrives!

We got the LaZboy "Melanie". It's one of the smaller size rocker recliners and looks great in the nursery (and feels great!).

Klaussner Old Town Rocking Chair...I do not care for the movement of a glider, but wanted something comfy to sit in. We do not have the space for a recliner.
