We have one of the Newcos; it's been so long now I can't tell you which one. I LOVE it. LOVE. I don't think I can express my feelings for this chair enough. We got it before DS1 was born (so it's about 3 years old now), and it's held up very well. We were originally going to get one of the chenille covers, but they had a return/floor model on steep discount when we went to buy, so we got the "velvet" cover it already had in a chocolate brown. It's very easy to spot clean and doesn't stain easily.
I have passed out in this chair more times than I can count; especially when DS1 was tiny and was waking up every 45 minutes to eat. Totally worth the $. I can't comment on the matching ottoman. We already had a stationary ottoman at home and just use that. But I do recommend having somewhere to put your feet up.
That's the one I just ordered. I thought it looked weird but it was SO comfy!! I'm super pumped to get it!
I just love that it feels so firm yet still comfortable. Like it doesn't feel like its going to fall apart in 6 months. I may try it out and take some naps in it before baby ever gets here
After 6 losses, we are so happy to have our rainbow baby!
We're having a similar dilemma in trying to pick a good chair and I read a blog about converting a chair to a rocker and it doesn't look that hard. Maybe a little ambitious... I prefer the look/feel of the chair vs the glider too. Why are the Pottery Barn ones sooooo expensive? Does anyone have one? Are they worth the $?
