Can we talk gliders??

$500 and up -- seems excessive. Does it really make a difference if you get Dutalier? Are the Target and Walmart ones crappy? I am trying to decide what to buy - actually my mom is getting it for me and I don't want her to spend $$$$ unnecessarily. Any feedback on what you got/didn't get? They all feel comfy to me!!

Re: Can we talk gliders??

if they all feel comfy to you, then go with what you like.
i didnt get a super expensive one when i had dd 6 years ago, and its still holding up just fine.

Re: Can we talk gliders??

I think it depends on how long you want to have it for etc.

I didn't mind seeing my mom buy mine on clearance, because I know I will use it at night mostly and not be using it as I would say a couch and its gonna last a little longer, BUT if it breaks after a year and a half , the money spent is not that big a deal ya know?

IF like you are BF and plan to use it all day long, I would say the extra money might be worth it.

BUT , I think you can get a decent one for under $400....

I couldn't see justifying that, but based on what my need was ya know

Re: Can we talk gliders??

I would sit in it and make sure you are comfortable. My DH bought me one of the cheaper ones from Babies R US and they it is not wide enough for me to sit comfortably. The arm rest is not completely padded so sometimes I would bang my son's head on the armrest and it was hard to BF.

i spent a lot of money on my furniture and pottery barn kids charges over 1,000 for a glider and ottoman, so i wanted to see what my other options were...i ended up ordering a glider and ottoman from target.com and it is perfectly fine...it is really adorable. i can't say that it is as comfortable as the more expensive ones, but it is certainly not uncomfortable!

Thanks, I guess I will just see what mom wants to get me!! She has the $$, I just don't like to make her spend it...and I think she is paying for my shower so...

Re: Can we talk gliders??

To be honest I did not drop dead over the Dutailier. I checked it out at my friends house & I did not see the difference from the one I tried out in BRU.

My sister bought my glider for my shower. She got it on clearance at BRU - I think it was originally $300 but she t it for about 1/2 price. It's not Dutalier, but it is very comfortable.

Re: Can we talk gliders??

i got mine from target. and i love it. it is very comfy. i couldn't see spending big bucks on it. and to be honest i probably haven't used it since she started sleeping through the night. i mean sometimes i sit with her on it and read but not that often.

Re: Can we talk gliders??

DH is getting he Glider and ottoman we found one on Walmart.com that is affordable and looks comfy. We looked at all the cushoins and padding to make sure it had enough to be comfortable

Re: Can we talk gliders??

I got the cheapest one BRU had I think I spent less than $200 total. And I still have it and its fine.
