Delta Children Drake Nursery Glider Swivel Recliner, Flax

I received this Charcoal colored Delta Children Drake Nursery Glider Swivel Recliner with partial assembly needed. My son put it together very easily, the instruction booklet that came with it was easy to follow and it was a quick set up. It is very comfortable, and my Granddaughter loves to sit on it with or without me, and it is great to help her fall asleep. The swivel and rocking work great, and the reclining feature is very easy to use - just a pull of the handle. The only negative I have had with this so far is that when getting up and out of the chair it is a little difficult to get the reclined footrest back down and difficult to keep it down. I think I may just need to get used to the chair, but at this time, once I have the footrest down, I have to give it a whack with the back of my foot to lock it in place. Not a big deal, considering all its other features.

I love this chair. It has quickly become my favorite spot in the whole house. It is so comfortable! It is soft where it should be and supportive where it ought to be. It has such a smooth rocking motion. Unlike some glider rockers I've experienced in the past, this one does not click or thump at the furthest extents of the rock, whether forward or backward. It is well-balanced. It also turns 360 degrees smoothly, and you can keep rocking even while you slowly turn if you do it correctly. I love being able to look out the window or into the room without moving my body position. It has a sturdy fabric exterior that seems water-resistant if you dry it quickly and don't let it set. The color (which is more what I would call a blue-gray than charcoal) is cool and will blend well with just about any decor. I only have two concerns. The first is that it reclines so forcefully that it thumps and might wake a sleeping baby plus it takes quite a bit of force with your legs to get the recliner to shut again (I am hoping both will become easier with wear). Second, I am a tall person (5'9"), and the chair is almost too tall from knee to toe for me to rock comfortably, and I am worried that a shorter person might find it difficult.
