Stork Craft Tuscany Glider and Ottoman

Comment: I've been debating on getting a new rocking chair/glider for my youngest son who is now 19 months old. I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend the money to get a new chair or just deal with the old hand-me-down one that I used for my older son, afterall the baby is almost 2. I went ahead and ordered this one (in the lighter wood with a green cushion) because it had good reviews and the price was great. I LOVE IT!!! I don't know why I waited to so long! It's soft, comfortable, and glides very nicely.

I was a bit worried about the color, but it's much more muted than the picture looked, and it looks great in my son's room. I read some other reviews about it breaking right away and about the cushion being thin, but I can't imagine what they are talking about. My husband is around 170 lbs and he has sat in it several times with no problems. Each evening I look forward to storytime and rocking my baby for a few minutes before bed. It really is a great chair. I even got FREE shipping all the way to Alaska with Free Super Saver Shipping; that in it self is pretty amazing. I just wish I would have ordered it years ago!

Comment: Took awhile to ship, no big deal. Opened the box and there was slight mold on the wood pieces. Wiped off fine. It was two days old when my brother weighing in at 165lbs. Was sitting in it and it broke. Luckily my wife and newborn weren't using it at the time. Thank you china.

Comment: We bought this glider when our daughter was 3 months old. I wish I had bought it sooner. It's very comfortable and I nurse her in it for her night and morning feedings. The padded arms are a nice feature. I didn't really need the ottoman, but most gliders at this price are sold as a set. I do end up using it at times. The only thing I wish it could do was recline, but none of the gliders in this price range recline.

Comment: I love my chair and ottoman! I have fallen asleep in it a few times already and the baby isn't even here yet :) It is very comfortable and matches our Storkcraft Tuscany-espresso crub perfectly! It was simple to put together, also.

Comment: I bought this chair after comparing all of the ratings on Amazon and sitting in all of the chairs at Babies R Us and Target. The high reviews and the very reasonable price point led me to select this one, and it arrived quickly at my door. The box is a little large and unwieldy (and rather heavy, at 50+ pounds) but I managed to wrestle it up a couple of steps and through the door.

It was very well packed and nothing was damaged in shipping. I was glad to see that both "rocker" components (the chair base and ottoman) came pre-assembled. The only additional assembly is attaching the arms and back, and attaching the cushions. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the arm cushions can be easily removed (they snap on/off) which will make cleaning much easier. The back cushion has ties, and the bottom seat cushion is not attached.

The chair glides smoothly and the pockets on both arms are very convenient. I often come into the room to find someone else (or one of the cats) sitting in the chair! I may have to get a second one.

I would have loved to give this 5 stars, but I've knocked off a bit (1/2 star or so) for the quality of the fabric. It is a very pretty green microfiber, but it seems to wear very quickly on the seat (and possibly the arms). I can see wrinkles in it, and I think it would have been a little bit longer-lasting if the bottom seat cushion had been thicker (better padded) or the fabric itself were thicker. The cushion could be re-covered, though, so this is only a cosmetic issue.

Overall, very impressed. And it's nice having items delivered right to the door! I would highly recommend this chair.
