After trying out many many many different gliders, we settled on the Dutailier Reclining Glider. This was the only one we tried that felt comfortable and the ability to glide while reclined is definitely worth the additional price to us. The nursing ottoman is also a nice touch. When the nursing stand is out, the ottoman is locked into position. This is also one of the few chairs we tried that has a high enough back to support my head (I'm 5'11"). My only quibble is that the arm pads are simply wrapped around and not actually attached to the chair's arms. It is just a minor annoyance, but it is impossible for me to keep them from spinning around while I'm in the chair. We haven't had the chair long enough to speak to it's durability, but so far it seems rugged. Only time will tell.
As an extra anecdote, we looked at the cheaper Stork Craft and Shermag recliners too. There were a lot of negative reviews online in terms of quality, and when we tried them out in the store, we were able to witness those critiques first hand: glider didn't actually recline, squeaking, and broken wood. The Dutailier floor model worked perfectly.
