I dont live this rocker, but I also dont hate it. I needed a rocker for my babys nursery that would be functional and stylish. Im not a fan of the traditional rockers, so I definitely loved the look of this one. I needed something that would not be too overpowering on my sons room, so I liked the size of this. I also needed a color that would be able to work for either a boy or girl, which is why I liked the ecru color. The price was affordable in comparison to other untraditional rocker styles, which is the main reason I purchased this. My only complaint, as well as my husband, and some guests, is that the chair is not necessarily comfortable. Im 51, so the rocker is most suitable for my height. There isnt much back support, and it does feel somewhat low. I do think an would fix that problem, but Im not sure if I want to invest any further in this chair. I do like the fact that this has the capability to transition as an accent chair once my son gets older.
I purchased this because our previous had been damaged during a military move. I received the by the delivery date and was pleasantly surprised by the size of the . Its short and stout, but I fit (511, 200lbs) comfortably with a little room to spare. I have an 8 month old and rocking him while nursing or bottle feeding is easy, which is great! Being taller, there really isnt anywhere to rest your head unless, like other reviewers have stated, you use a pillow. I did notice, upon placing the in my sons room, that this sits crooked, but after turning the base 90 degrees, realized half the base is lower, the other, higher. If you have the lower end toward the front of the , it leans forward a little. Placing the lower end at the back of the , leans the up and back a little. However, no matter the bases position, while gliding, it feels like when youre going backward, you also go ever/so/slightly to one side or the other. Im not sure if there is a screw I could tighten or a bar I could straighten out, like someone else had mentioned. This is also a bit noisy. I dont mind a slight click while gliding, because it often helps my little guy doze off, but this has a click and a grinding noise.
If I could do without a for even a few days, I would send this one back and buy a totally different one. Its cute, comfy and stylish, but for the price, I need something that doesnt come with a hitch or a figure/out/how/to/maneuver/the/base/so/it/rocks/smoothly plan. Im keeping this , but Im not 100 satisfied. Id say Im about 50 satisfied with this purchase. My advice; pick something else
We received the swivel two days ago and its perfect. Attractive, quiet, fits perfectly into a small nursery, and meets all of our expectations. While the UPS carrier misfired and didnt deliver the as promised, the arrived assembled and ready to sooth our preemie. Well worth the money and already indispensable.
I was a little nervous to buy this sight unseen, but Im so thrilled with how it looks and feels! It fits it a very small space in front of a radiator and under a dormer, where no other would have fit, allowing us to have one in the babys room. I havent had to spot clean the microsuede yet, but it is so soft and comfortable. I hope it is as easy to clean as advertised because Id definitely like to use it for a long time.
I had been searching for an affordable for our nursery for months. After some back and forth on whether to get this one without being able to test it out in person we decided to go for it and are glad we did. Fits great in our sons smaller room and is very comfortable. Glides and swivels very smoothly and we have gotten many compliments on it. Would definitely recommend it to friends since many other s out there are 2/3x the price!
I dont know why baby s are so expensive. This was a good price and the chair is not hideous like the other rocking chair with cushions tied to them looking ones. It is pretty and comfortable.
This is a great chair for a great price. I ordered it for my sons nursery and its the perfect size for his room. Not too small, not too big. Its really comfortable and the quality is there. We have also have a top of the line dutalier chair and that I purchased for my first child which was way more expensive, but I prefer rocking/gliding in this chair. Its also modern and adult enough to use in other rooms of the house later on. The delivery was quick, chair came in perfect condition and already assembled.
So far, I love our Swivel . The slate color goes great in our Gray nursery. I have yet to use it for breastfeeding, but so far I love sitting on it and reading to the baby in my belly. Its sways very smoothly and I love that it swivels. Happy with my purchase!
I bought this because when I read the reviews customers said that it was comfortable and great for a small space. I completely agree with them, not to mention I believe its a piece of of furniture that can be useful beyond the nursery. I didnt like the way regular rocking chairs would take triple the space and then become an eyesore. This is cute, comfy and I have already gotten many compliments from family and friends. I hope my baby likes it as well when she gets here. My 3 year old can has no problem using it either, so thats great.
When my mom went to Walmart and looked at the Storkcraft I had put on my baby registry, she declared it a piece of junk and told me to order something nicer and shed pay. After lots of research I decided on this , sight unseen. It arrived in the mail last week with the box pretty beaten up, but the chair otherwise intact and looking great. I loved that it was as simple as removing from the box and placing it where we wanted.
Even though our baby isnt due until next month and weve only had this chair for a week, Im impressed with it. It seems to be built very sturdy. Im a larger woman (59 and 230 lbs at 8 months pregnant) and I fit just fine. I was concerned if this would be more of a rock vs. glide action based on some reviews, but this definitely glides. The gliding is very smooth and quiet. The swivel motion is also effortless and smooth. We got the slate color which is a darker gray. Its not too dark, and not too light. The fabric is VERY soft to the touch, but feels substantial. The seat cushion seems to be a high density foam that will last (time will tell!). As other reviews indicate, you can see the metal tracking underneath the chair. This doesnt bother me one bit.
This chairs seat is a tad low for my tastes, but its definitely in the acceptable range of seat height. I prefer higher chairs and beds, so this is really a personal preference. As others have stated, this chair is not ideal for sleeping in. Id recommend a small lumbar pillow to use with it. The seat is comfortable as is, but a small back pillow would help with comfort if you choose to slouch down and attempt to sleep in it.
I love that this chair can be put in our bedroom or living room when our baby grows out of it. Overall, even though weve only owned this chair for a week or so it seems to be sturdy, good looking, and well/built. I have no reservations that it wont last for years to come.
