Storkcraft Tuscany Glider and Ottoman, Cherry and Beige 4.2 5 77 88
Storkcraft Tuscany Glider I must admit that I am surprised at the quality of this glider. It is really good looking, and thankfully the seat is wide enough for an adult-size behind (if you know what I mean). It was easy to put together, although the instructions were incorrect. The instructions indicated to attached the armrests backward......werid. All in all, this is a good item for the price. 01/07/2010
Overall the chair is nice. The cushion is very comfortable and it is strongly built. My biggest complaint is that the color of the cushion is not beige. It is almost white. Had I known that I would have chosen a different chair. I will now have to make or by covers to go over them if at all possible because it will get dirty way too fast, especially with a newborn! 10/09/2009
Good Quality, but Light Colored Fabric We bought this glider because we are expecting a baby and we are both fairly tall people. Some of the gliders out there appear to be somewhat short. If you are wondering, the glider is about 40" tall and about 27" from the seat to the top of the back. The wood and fabric are beautiful, however, the fabric is a much lighter color than the picture on the website. We were hoping for something that would not show stains, but I have heard that microfiber is easy to clean, so we will see how this looks after the baby arrives. 08/07/2009
Disappointed – Squeaks – a lot… Ok, I've waited over a year to write this review. I purchased this chair 12/2009 and have been using it since then about 5-8 times a day.This chair is a decent wood and a decent fabric. The cushions are pretty comfortable actually. The chair is SUPER easy to put together. If you're mechanically inclined you can do it yourself. Others may need assistance from a second person. Fairly easy to wipe down the fabric (covers are not removable). I have fallen asleep in it with my daughter in my arms prior to the squeaking issue starting, so it is really a fairly comfortable chair.What I didn't like:6-12 weeks after I purchased this chair I started to have a lot of squeaking coming from the bottom bearings of the gliding portion of the chair. This might not be a huge deal for some people, but it's very loud. Especially, loud when you're trying to nurse a sleepy baby back to sleep and it keeps waking them up.I tried to adjust all of the bolts, tried WD-40, didn't fix the issue. I finally contacted customer service at Storkcraft after about 7 months of owning it. They did agree to send me a replacement base for the chair since it was still within the 12 month warranty period. Oh, and I am of normal height and weight, so being over a weight limit is not an issue.Upon receipt I removed the old base, attached the new base exactly as the instructions stated. Again, about 8 weeks after receiving this base I had the same problem. I let it go for about 12 weeks and contacted Storkcraft again just to let them know I was having issues again (even though I was now out of the warranty period). They said that they would "as a courtesy" send me another base, but any future bases would be at a charge to me. Which of course makes sense. I told them I wasn't expecting another base, just trying to inform them that the problem was not resolved and that maybe there's an issue with the production of the item.I have received the third base (second replacement) and have not installed it yet.I would like to say that this would be a good chair if it didn't have this obnoxious squeaking issue. However, to me that makes the chair almost not usable. It squeaks every single time I rock in it.So I really wouldn't recommend this chair because of the issues I had with it. I did think that everything else about it was fairly nice and definitely worth the price. But that's why I gave it a (2) star rating. Because I wasn't completely dissatisfied(1), but I wasn't neutral on it (3), nor was I happy(4) or ecstatic(5) about it.I read all of the reviews before I bought it and thought it was a good choice, so I thought I'd give my feedback for you to look over as well. Good luck in your decision! 01/24/2011
