I purchased this glider several mos before the birth of my daughter thinking it was a good value. For the first 4-5 months it was great! I used it frequently, as I breastfed and sat down in it 7-10x each day and rocked a LOT! Around 5 mos it started squeaking on each rock unless I sat at a specific angle, which is nervewracking when you're trying to get a baby to sleep. It would also squeak when I stood up to transfer her to the crib - which woke her on multiple occassions. Not tiny mouse squeaks, either. Rusty hinge type squeaks. Oiling and greasing give short-term relief.
Around 6 mos one of the rungs under the glider splintered and I taped it back together with duct tape (I'm not a heavy gal, either, 5'10" and 150lbs). I wish that I'd gotten something with better low-back support, too. At this point we still use it but I truly wish I had invested more money in a better quality rocker-glider, since I knew I'd be using it a lot. This was not the value I thought I was getting.
