I will try oiling tomorrow--any other hints. Anyone fixed this? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/issues-with-the-west-elm-graham-glider#post-2389998 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 00:22:03 +0000 stratosphere 2389998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm - we've had ours for 18 months and have rocked in that thing for HOURS upon hours and love it. No issues whatsoever. One of the floorboards in our 90-yr-old apartment squeaked underneath it (until we moved it!) but the glider itself has been awesome. </p> <p>Sorry you had this issue! I'd contact WE and ask for advice. This is an American-made piece of furniture, so they must have some way to fix! @StellaJane: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/issues-with-the-west-elm-graham-glider#post-2389789 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 18:52:06 +0000 StellaJane 2389789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A year late with this post but YES! A warning to other Bees out there considering the Graham Glider from West Elm - everything was fine for the first few months and then gradually over the course of a year a very irritating squeaking sound began. Now it's a loud creak every time I rock in it. I'm a small person, this is definitely a manufacturing issue. How annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/issues-with-the-west-elm-graham-glider#post-1968422 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 21:15:27 +0000 jetsa 1968422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dolphin: boo so annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/issues-with-the-west-elm-graham-glider#post-1968418 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 21:12:10 +0000 dolphin 1968418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: so DH greased it up and it still squeaks. It's my chair. :sad: So annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/issues-with-the-west-elm-graham-glider#post-1967800 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 14:23:59 +0000 dolphin 1967800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: Thanks for the idea! I hope it works too! I just texted DH to get on it since he's working from home today. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/issues-with-the-west-elm-graham-glider#post-1967794 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 14:21:26 +0000 jetsa 1967794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dolphin: I hope it works!

Let me remind him tonight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/issues-with-the-west-elm-graham-glider#post-1967761 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 14:12:29 +0000 jetsa 1967761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dolphin: have you tried to oil it? My glider (different brand) did this abd DH was able to easily fix it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/issues-with-the-west-elm-graham-glider#post-1967690 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 13:47:23 +0000 dolphin 1967690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've had it for two years. It started squeaking really loud whenever I'm rocking it. It's so annoying. It's too bad though because I LOVE the look of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/issues-with-the-west-elm-graham-glider#post-1967623 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 13:26:50 +0000 meredithNYC 1967623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope it's not prone to issues since I just ordered one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/issues-with-the-west-elm-graham-glider#post-1967389 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 11:50:28 +0000 birdofafeather 1967389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had it for 2 years and have 4 friends that got it and haven't heard anything like this about it. I stinking love that chair! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/issues-with-the-west-elm-graham-glider#post-1966982 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 09:05:43 +0000 Annette 1966982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Was originally looking at the graham glider however when I went into west elm to order it the salesperson said they didnt recommend it as every chair they had ordered was returned within a year due to the glider base breaking away from the chair. I've looked online and I can't find ANY reviews or comments about this happening. I kind of felt like the salesperson was too lazy to special order it (I'm in Canada) and might have been trying to put me off. Any bees have issues with their chairs? Thanks so much!! </p>
