Yep, my recommendation is bypass the glider chair and head straight for a Layzboy recliner! I'm totally in love with mine - we shopped around for one with a relatively small footprint, in a lovely neutral cream leather, it rocks & reclines. I'm totally in love with it. You'll use your glider for a few years and then it'll be noisy, creaky & you won't be able to get rid of it quick enough. The recliner on the other hand will become the chair that everyone fights over to sit in.
