I would not recommend this glider. In my opinion, this is a cheap, in all senses of the word, piece of furniture.
The fit/finish of the unit we were shipped was not high, but it is hard to know if this is typical or not. Our unit had the following;
some of the dowels were not tight out of the box,
the wedges holding the seat back slats were irregularly inserted, as were the tacks for the dowels,
the sprayed on stain doesn't cover the wood completely,
the screws holding the arms on are exposed, with no wood cover plugs,
the general construction is light weight, with thin wood parts, not much reinforcement
the seat bottom is a suspension fabric tacked in place and
the finish is very thin.
The enclosed booklet recommends that the cushions be cleaned professionally, not dry cleaned.
The wooden seat frame has cut outs for the recliner hardware, which is not part of this model, so the seat frame has an odd missing chunk when viewed from the side.
It doesn't have the feel of a piece of furniture that would be suitable for non-petite people. This isn't to say that it wouldn't; it just feels lightweight. (The shipping weight is 65lbs- draw your own conclusions.)
So...Probably OK to have for short term use, but I wouldn't count on it holding up to much use.
Based upon the unit we received, I would recommend a different manufacturer.
