Damaged Goods (twice)

by MntlyNSane 2008-10-07

When I bought this product, it was being sold and shipped by Target. My pregnant wife wanted a glider chair to rock the baby in when she arrived. Online it looks to be of decent design and quality. Boy how we were wrong.

The first chair that I got, came in a box that looked rather beaten up. Being optimistic, we opened it wishing for the best. Everything looked intact, so I proceeded to put it together. I am fairly mechanically inclined, can put together most things, however the assembly instructions were at times unclear, and total assembly ended up taking about 45 minutes...which to me is too long for something with not very many parts.

That is when I discovered the first problem major problem. One of the Arms was not cut right. The left arm fit snugly into place, where the right arm had a 1/2 inch gap behind it. So the chair actually looked cheap and broken.

I contacted Amazon, and they immediately sent a new one. Thinking I could just take the bad arm, and swap it out, I was fine with this minor inconvenience.

The new chair arrived a few days later (in a less damaged box), and I dug through the box looking for the new arm...I found it...but only half of it. Great. So the new chair was also defective.

I contacted Amazon again, and they said since there were numerous problems, they would issue a refund.

Overall, the chair does look nice. We did like the material of the cushions, and the overall design. It did feel sturdy. However, since we were unsuccessful in actually getting a fully functional chair, or even enough parts to build one, we have to give it a low rating.

I recommend avoiding this product, but if you are set on getting it, I hope you have better luck than I did.

Great chair for the money

by Cheryl Hasenjaeger 2008-05-18

I am glad I purchased this glider. The one I was looking at in Babies R Us was twice the price for just the chair, and I would have had to wait 6 weeks for delivery. I got this one in three days. I am 8 months pregnant and just finished putting the chair together. It was easy to assemble, and it only took about 20 minutes. The ottoman comes assembled already. Both seem to be good, quality pieces. I have no problem with arm pads rotating, like I read in other reviews. It is not as big as the more expensive chairs, so I'm not sure if my husband (who is over 6 feet tall) will use it. I'm 5'6 and it is a good size for me.
I definitely recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to shell out $400 - $500 for one.

okay chair

by Diane Mills 2008-02-07

The chair itself is fine -- I love the gliding motion. The fabric is kinda cheap -- the seat gets permanent folds in it from sitting. The arm pads do not stay in place, they roll off to the side.

GOOD Quality!

by Bryan B. 2008-01-21

I was skeptical with the price as to the quality of this item. But I can say that it is very high quality and just as nice as the ones that cost 2x or more at Baby's R Us and other stores, and most of them do not come with the ottoman. Nice wood, comfortable cushions. The only con is that the arm cushions tend to spin a bit. But for $2 I bought some Velcro and that fixed that problem real easily.
I would highly recommend to anyone.

Bad Purchase

by Marinewife 2008-01-18

I recently purchased this glider to rock my son to sleep. It looks a lot different on here then it does when you put it together. 1.) There were scratches all over the wood--made me very mad. 2.) not a good hardwood material like it claims. The wood on the ottoman came "unglued" which made me come unglued. 3.) The large screws used to secure the arms on is very difficult to use. It took an hour to get the arms secured. You have to shove to arms up to get the screw through the hole. I'm very dissapointed with this purchase.
