Best glider that look more like regular chair?

[lampes]

I purchased a BEST glider and ottoman at a local retailer for $600 (both). It is fully upholstered and has a rounded back. There were a lot of fabrics to chose from as well.

OK, so I looked back through my e-mails (because I e-mailed them asking who the manuf was) and the eBay seller is baby-n-kidstuff. But it doesn't look like they have any right now.

In any case, when it comes to gliders like anything else, it pays to shop around. If you must have a certain fabric, you'll probably end up having to pay full retail for your custom choice. But if you like a particular floor model (like we did), you could end up saving hundreds.

Thanks for the suggestions. Glad to hear Little Castle got some good reviews and will also look into Best Chairs. We're in Virginia so getting a deal in California isn't going to be an option. We've got some time but have read that the wait on Little Castle can be 3 months. Would love to find a floor model steal.

We live in VA as well and I got our Best Chair from Baby-2-Teen furniture in Manassas. The chair was $400 and looks very similar to the Little Castle but it has a little more padding (I felt) on the backrest and has cute button tufting on the backrest as well. They had tons of fabrics to choose from - we picked a brushed red cotton. Let me know if you want me to email you a picture.

Good luck!

I also didn't want a regular glider. That said, the upholstered rockers really didn't rock long enough for me (I'm 5'7"). I found the Best Chairs glider to be a perfect solution for me. Its larger than most gliders for comfort, and when you rock in it you can really get a good long glide instead of the short little rocks you would get in an upholstered rocker like those sold at PBK.

I bought mine, WITHOUT the ottoman, for $440 plus tax. But afterward, I found this ebay dealer who will order one for you WITH the ottoman for $399 plus shipping. That's a really amazing deal, and I am totally kicking myself for not finding it sooner :(

Allison-
I suppose the wait could be 3 months but we ordered ours the first week of December and it was here in mid-January. The furniture store warned us of the potential wait, but we didn't have a problem.

Good luck!

I also have a Little Castle and LOVE it. We did luck out and purchase a floor model at about $150 off. (slight tear in fabric but not in a noticable location). We have the Magestic and it is beautiful and roomy enough that the chair will still be useful when baby is a toddler. Well worth the extra money!! :)

We purchased a Dutailier fully upholstered glider, recliner and it also has a lock which keeps the seat from moving. Here is a pic of it and it can come in a lot of different fabrics too. We purchased it at www.rockingchairstore.com .

question about this chair...i've read that reclining is a must have feature on a glider/ottoman...that its VERY useful...this chair doesnt recline...how do you like yours and do you miss the recline? i wonder how similar this chair is to the PBK one?

thanks :)

Does anyone know of a place in S. Florida that carries them so I can try them out?
