Glider Rocking Chair Cost

Typical costs:

• Basic, wood-frame glider chairs, usually offered with finishes like natural, white, maple or cherry, run from as low $130 to as high as $450.
• Upholstered glider chairs, most often designed to be used outside a nursery, cost anywhere from $160 to $680. However, high-end retailers like Posh Tots and Modern Tots^[1] sell upholstered models with modern styles for $600 to $1,100.

• All gliders should come with some sort of "lock" to prevent the chair from rocking when you don't want it to.
• A factory-made glider chair typically comes with a minimum 1-year manufacturer's warranty. However, because there are ball bearings in the gliding mechanism, Consumer Reports^[2] recommends a 10-year or lifetime warranty, if possible.
• Custom-made gliders should come with a longer basic warranty, generally 3 years at the minimum.

• Ottomans to match the glider chair typically run from $50 to $220, depending on whether the ottoman is a stationary or gliding version.
• Custom-ordered upholstery such as leather or microfiber material will also add to the cost of a glider.

• Many stores offer the best prices on combinations which include a glider and a matching ottoman. However, if you don't want or need an ottoman, you might be able to save by buying the glider separately.
• Stationary ottomans are typically less expensive than the ones which glide. Some people actually prefer a stationary ottoman, so they can use their legs to control the motion of the chair.

• As with most furniture, be sure to test a glider chair before buying.
• Make sure the size of the chair is comfortable while using a nursing pillow, such as a Boppy^[3] or My Brest Friend^[4] . If possible, bring your nursing pillow to the store.
• Check to see that there is adequate padding, particularly on the arms and seat. Consumer Reports^[5] recommends looking under the seat to be sure there are springs securing the bottom of the cushion to the chair frame. The springs will help provide support and shock absorption.
• Many parents recommend chairs with removable or detachable cushions that can be machine washed and fabric that is dark-colored or stain resistant.
