Why are all gliders ugly?

Seriously, if you found a cute glider, pass that along!

Re: Why are all gliders ugly?
Is this a serious question, because "ugly" is highly subjective.
If you don't like the look of the wooden gliders then be prepared to shell out the big bucks for an upholstered glider. Check out Pottery Barn Kids, Land of Nod and Restoration Hardware Baby. They all have gorgeous gliders.
A glider is a glider, there is only so much you can do with style and maintain functionality. Ours probably won't ever have a permanent home on our main floor (thinking basement maybe) but I don't think it is ugly. Ours is dutailier from BRU, but if cost isn't a factor, the dutailier website has all different styles.
Ours looks something like this:

2 years, 2 surgeries, 2 clomid fails, 2 IUIs, 1 loss, IVF #1 - 10/25/10 = BFP!, DS is now 3.5yrs!
TTC #2 - 6/12 surgery #3, FET #1 & 1.2 = BFN, 12/2012 FET #2 = BFP! DD is 1.5 yrs!
Surprise! 12/16/14 BFP, loss #2 12/31/14
I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929

Ours looks almost like this too. It's a glider for a baby's room, so it is what it is.
This is how we got out fully upolstered glider too!
I've been looking for a Dutailier just like that on craigstlist, to switch with our fully upholstered chair for our third. The fully upholst. one is quite cozy, but it's too low and deep to get out of comfortably. I don't love the look of the Dutailier, but would love the support for nursing and rocking.
The fully upholstered chairs don't come up on craigslist very often, but every now and then, at least in my area (Seattle).

I have really long femur's which is a bit of an issue for comfort...I need a seat that's long enough. This one works. AND it looks like something we could use in our living room after.
