Perfect Glider
February 2, 2013
Love this chair! Perfect fit into our 12x12 nursery. Potterybarnkids service was excellent. They came out and measured to see if it would fit into my doorway, helped me choose the right color, and gave me a discount for using their design service. Love, Love, Love my chair!

Just OK, late delivery
January 10, 2013
We bought a great glider from another company for our first child which we love. For our second, we decided to get an upholstered chair thru PBK. The quality is average by comparison. Also, please note that the fabric choice we picked was supposedly an in stock item that should take 1-3 weeks to deliver. We were told 2 weeks after placing the order that it would take another month, very frustrating.

must have chair
December 2, 2012
This chair is ridiculously comfortable. We are waiting anxiously to use it with our soon to be baby, but have sat in it many times to "break it in" though it has been pretty comfortable already! I think this is a chair that will get a lot of use and though it was a splurge it was a must have for our nursery. Only complaint is the money that PB charges for delivery!!

I LOVE this chair!
September 12, 2012
As an expecting new Mom, I researched gliders/rockers for months. I'm so glad I settled on this chair and spent the extra money. It's so well made. The slipcovers are very high quality. The rocking mechanism is stiffer than the model at the store, but that will get better as I use it. Other reviewers said it's too upright. I don't feel that at all. With a nursing stool for your feet, it will be the perfect tension. The height of the chair back is wonderful. The pillow is very soft and will be great to rest my head on through midnight feedings. The fact that when done using the rocking mechanism, you can remove it and have a lovely piece of furniture is a huge plus. I say ditch the ugly Dutalier gliders and splurge for this beautiful PBK upholstered chair. I'm so glad I did.

Zero Stars
September 10, 2012
Waste of a pricey gift. My wife and I receive the glider an ottoman as a gift from her mother and we're so dissapointed. It took about 10 weeks to receive the chair and for some odd reason the ottoman arrived 2 weeks prior so we had to store a huge box in a nursery. Once the chair did come the slip covers were so tight that it ripped while my wife was putting it on. The slip cover and fabric feels more like sand paper than some you would want to relax in. as for the comfort of the chair, its lacking. you feel like you are being pushed forward out of the chair instead of gliding. My brother has this same chair in their nursery and cannot believe how different the two are. My mother in law is currently contacting PB and my hope is this item will be picked up, refunded and never seen again!!!!

Perfect for a nursery
September 4, 2012
We have this in tan for our nursery. I agree with other reviewers that you feel a little tipped forward in it, but after 5 months, ours got the lived in feel of the one at the store and no longer felt that way. It is my favorite baby item purchase so far!

Overall good quality
June 11, 2012
I have been using the glider daily, and overall it seems solidly built. It is very comfortable, however there are a few reasons why it got 4 instead of 5 stars. The first is the arm rest height - it would be at the perfect position for reading or sitting, but it is too high for breastfeeding purposes (especially since the glider is advertised as a nursery item). The second is the angle of the chair - I have to use a pillow behind me for better lumbar support. Also, it would have been nice if the ottoman also glided.

So nice to sit down!
May 13, 2012
This chair is great! We tried it out in the store so many times before ordering. When it first arrives, it's not quite as soft as the ones at the store, but with some regular use, it will get that nice worn-in feeling. It's a nice size for mom or dad, plus a baby (and hopefully a toddler one day), and we're glad we can use it for a long time.

Great glider, but...
April 26, 2012
I purchased this as a gift for my daughter, who just had her first baby. As several reviewers have pointed out, their glider was more upright, or tipping forward, than the sample they tried in the store. So I was fully braced for this possibility.
Sure enough, our sample was also too upright. I flipped it on its side, took off the bolts that mount the rear of the glide mechanism, and loosened the front bolts.
Then I had to force the glider mechanism in between the wood frame, so that it would sit deeper, and have a more comfortable angle.
I realize why the mounting is not consistent. My wood frame was slightly narrow, so it was difficult to install it in the proper location because to do so, the mechanism has to fit in between the wood rails.
So I suspect that gliders that have slightly narrower frames in the base, get an installation that tips the glider forward. I hope Pottery Barn Kids reads these reviews and addresses this.

SIMPLY PERFECT
April 22, 2012
I am expecting my first baby in September. I knew that a glider was one thing I'd be willing to splurge on (using it for an hour, every 3 hours, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day). I "test drove" 50-60 gliders other stores and wasn't sold on any of them. The arch was wrong, the seats were uncomfortable, etc. I went in to Pottery Barn, sat in this chair, and my search was over. I appreciate the reviews on here because if I have trouble with the slipcover I can read someone's "how to" review on putting it on, and I'll make sure we test out the chair after it's been delivered to make sure it's been assembled correctly. It even looks so nice it can be used as a piece of furniture after the baby, and the slipcover is washable. I can't wait to get this chair!

totally disappointed
March 28, 2012
the glider was the one area we decided we would splurge. i pictured late nights, rocking my new baby in a super comfy chair. i'm horribly disappointed in this glider.
the biggest problems:
- the back is so high that you can't lay your head back
- i feel like i'm constantly being pushed forward
- it really doesn't glide the way others do... the bottom of the chair hits the floor!
- i wish the back reclined, even a couple inches would make a huge difference
- the back is so high that you can't lay your head back
- i feel like i'm constantly being pushed forward
- it really doesn't glide the way others do... the bottom of the chair hits the floor!
- i wish the back reclined, even a couple inches would make a huge difference
i'm a nursing mom using the baby-led/laid back breastfeeding position and simply cannot get comfortable. seems to me that potterybarn should do some research and update their product. if only returns were allowed!

comfy glider
February 27, 2012
I have to admit I was really nervous about this glider after reading all the mixed reviews. What sold me was the fact that it rocks and swivels so I decided to give it a try. It is so comfortable! It's also easy to get in and out of which makes me so happy. Just a little tough getting the slipcover on though but otherwise I'm a happy customer!
My husband is a harsh critic and he even asked if he could bring it down to his man cave once our daughter is older.

not comfy and slipcover does not fit
January 4, 2012
This chair is not comfortable. The back pillow is way overstuffed and too tall and pushes you forward. The slipcover does not fit well. I called customer service and sent pictures of how my slipcover fit and I was told to wash it and it would shrink. Well it did shrink in some places and not in others. It still doesn't fit right. I got the twill fabric. I ended up taking half the stuffing out of the back pillow so that I wasn't being pushed forward. That helped. Overall, I do not recommend this product. I tested one in the store and it was much more comfortable and the slipcover fit. There must be a lot of variability in the product.

Excellent, but Follow Instructions for Slip Cover
December 27, 2011
I'm in love with my chair, but getting the slip cover on can be a little tricky. I called a pottery barn kids store and their nursery specialist was able right away to advise me on this issue, so I'll share the trick with everyone else out there:
Pull the slip cover all the way over the back of the chair- all the way as it is supposed to be
Then pull over the arms of the chair.

Disappointed after finally purchasing
August 23, 2011
After ordering this chair in May and finally receiving it in mid August(12 weeks after ordering instead of the 6-8 weeks as mentioned when ordered) a few weeks before our due date, I was disappointed that it was a defective chair. It feels like it is tipped forward and that the person sitting in it will be ejected forward. I called and pb was GREAT about fixing the situation, the only bad thing is I will have to wait until October for a replacement and will miss out all of the early newborn weeks after looking forward to this chair for YEARS, literally. Based on other reviews and trying the chair out in the store, I am hoping it is only this chair that is defective. I will followup with a review after receiving the replacement. I would definitely recommend ordering in your first trimester or sooner than you need it and allow for extra time.

Just right!
August 1, 2011
I tried out PB gliders in the store before selecting this one, it's just right! The square arm was too small and the grand was too deep and hard to get out of. I would suggest seeing the fabric options in store as well. I got the white twill with green piping and it coordinates well with our lavender, white and sage green color scheme, not to mention it is sooo comfy! It made getting up in the middle of the night for feedings a lot easier knowing I could snuggle up in this chair with baby! The fabric is very durable and the white doesn't show spit up stains. So far I've only had to spot clean it, glad to hear from other reviewers that the slip cover washes well as this will be in my daughters room for years to come!

Chair and ottoman
May 17, 2011
Love this chair and ottoman! Quality is fantastic...sturdy, fabric is heavy duty and washes nicely! Just as you would expect from PBarn. It would be nice if the back reclined just a bit... It sits at a firm 90 degee angle. My baby (6 months) is extremely long so this provides challenges should he want to snuggle over my shoulder and still be able to stretch his long legs!

Comfy Chair
April 20, 2011
This chair is comfortable and the rocking motion really lulls the baby to sleep. The only real downside is that after ordering it, it took a month before we received it. Another minor thing is that once in the chair, it can be a little difficult to get out of it especially if you are holding your baby. I am happy with it now that it is finally here!

The Best Chair for Our Nursery
April 9, 2011
We needed a chair for our nursery and this chair is great. I was afraid that it would be too small when I first purchased it, but it is the right size for the room. My husband (whom is pretty big) is confortable in it. I love the rocker glider feature and that it can swivel. This is the most comfortable chair I have ever owned and it is well worth the money spent.
