This weekend I went into a bit of a panic when I realized that the rocker I have been eyeing could take 10 weeks to arrive and this baby (Greta decided to call her “Lemon” this weekend) Â is due to arrive before then. Oy. And then I started looking around more and I was overwhelmed with how far gliders and rockers had come in the 4 years since we had Greta. So many styles and price points. We’re on the hunt for something comfortable, good looking, and that will last–oh, and bonus points goes to a chair that can be here sooner rather than later. Here are a few of my favorites at every price point:
$199 | $249 | $299 | $329 | $499 | $551 | $579 | $799 | $999
I could have done this round-up ten different ways and I definitely could have added a lot more gliders and rockers–but I edited down a lot to only include ones that we would actually buy. And seriously–any of these are welcome in little Lemon’s nursery. Do you have a favorite??
Love this post! Thanks for posting gliders that come at different price points. Only thing is I was really disappointed to see the $249 one ONLY available at WalMart. I stopped shopping there in 2007 when I learned what a terrible company they are (in every way). Any ideas where I could find a similarly priced, similarly styled model from a better company? Thank you!
Assuming you already have made this decision by now, but the West Elm glider is my pick. We were in the store a while ago and sat in that one and my husband was IN LOVE. too bad we didn’t have a place for it in the house– a nursery would be the perfect spot!
I’ve also been confused when my wife and I went to a furniture store to buy a rocker for my grandson. Many options are offered. Finally, I choose a rocker with a low price but good design. As it turned out, I was mistaken. Rocker that I bought is low-quality. This experience is a valuable lesson for me and the wife to buy a rocker chair next.
They are all amazing! I just hope whichever one you pick turns out to be comfortable! I tried so many chairs and was so sad that the cutest ones I tried were the most uncomfortable. :( So we ended up with the typical ugly glider despite my dreams of having something super cute. Plus we just did NOT have enough space for anything else. Oh and good call on not wanting the gliding ottoman. Ours came with one and I really do not like it for nursing!
I love the west elm one. I have the ikea recliner. Worked out fine. We now have it in the living room. We did end up using a medicine ball to rock the baby to sleep. He was colicky and that is the only thing that soothed him.
