Know before you buy
A chair and a half is wider than a standard armchair, providing extra room to lounge or curl up. With a seat width of 20 inches between the armrests, it offers a more spacious feel than a traditional single-seat chair.
Yes, you can select from nine different hardwood options, including Oak, Cherry, and Brown Maple. Each wood type can be paired with various finishes, allowing you to customize the piece to coordinate with your current home decor.
Unlike a rocking chair that moves in an arc, the glider mechanism uses a track system to provide a smooth, back-and-forth motion. This creates a consistent, quiet glide that is generally considered more stable and gentle.
The swivel functionality and the flip-out footrest are optional upgrades that are built into the chair during the manufacturing process. Because these are integrated features, they must be selected at the time of your order.
For the wood frame, use a soft, lint-free cloth to dust regularly and avoid harsh chemical cleaners that can damage the finish. For the upholstery, vacuum periodically to remove debris and spot clean according to the specific fabric manufacturer's care instructions.
The ottoman is an optional accessory designed for added comfort and is not required for the glider to function. It is a separate piece that provides a place to rest your feet, but the glider motion operates independently of it.
