The turnaround time is something like 8 weeks, so I still dont have it at home. But the one I sat in at my mall was brand new (theyd gotten it in that day) and it was SUPER comfy. And I tend to find that PB and PBK has great quality furniture if you care for it, so Im not too worried about that. But as soon as I get it, ill let ya know =o) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-view-a-rocking-chair-as-an-investment-or-did-you-buy-a-cheaper-one#post-148103 Fri, 04 May 2012 11:10:33 +0000 ALittleP 148103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LivsMama: I'm considering the wingback rocker from PBK. I like it but am curious to hear from someone who actually bought it - there aren't any reviews on PBK.com! Do you love it? Is it as comfortable at home as it is in the store? Are you pleased with the quality compared to price?</p> <p>Thanks in advance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-view-a-rocking-chair-as-an-investment-or-did-you-buy-a-cheaper-one#post-128676 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 16:53:26 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 128676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've inherited a rocking chair and I plan on using that one day.

I used it all through the colic nights and now to wind LO down before placing him in the crib. We're fortunate to be able to use MIL's rocking chair and an Aunty reupholstering the cushions for us. The rocking chair is just the perfect size for baby's room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-view-a-rocking-chair-as-an-investment-or-did-you-buy-a-cheaper-one#post-128629 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 16:20:25 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 128629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours was a very long term investment.<br /> <a href="http://www.stickley.com/OurProducts_Details.cfm?id=1394&#038;Collection=mission&#038;cat1=88&#038;view=all&#038;view=complex&#038;finish=" rel="nofollow">http://www.stickley.com/OurProducts_Details.cfm?id=1394&#038;Collection=mission&#038;cat1=88&#038;view=all&#038;view=complex&#038;finish=</a></p> <p>I love every minute I spend in it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-view-a-rocking-chair-as-an-investment-or-did-you-buy-a-cheaper-one#post-128622 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 16:14:19 +0000 sulli301 128622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ohhhh!

I figured (since they will be upholstered - and assuming that we do get 2) that they could work in the living room sort of like matching club chairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-view-a-rocking-chair-as-an-investment-or-did-you-buy-a-cheaper-one#post-128378 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 13:30:15 +0000 mrs. wagon 128378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. This was my one baby purchase regret for sure. Not because of the chair itself-- I LOVE our glider and we'll use it forever (it looks almost exactly like yours! in beige microfiber.) but we spent way too much on it, custom ordering it from a baby furniture store. We still use it every day and will continue after #2 is born, and we plan on moving it to the living room or our bedroom for a reading nook when our kids are older, but we still spent too much on it. We could have gotten something similar for way less if we ordered or purchased from somewhere else. It was one of our first purchases and took like 5 months to arrive..!! I think we spent over $700 on it and the matching ottoman :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-view-a-rocking-chair-as-an-investment-or-did-you-buy-a-cheaper-one#post-128351 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 13:00:32 +0000 winniebee 128351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought an upholstered glider, too in a neutral color - it was about $600, but it is incredibly comfortable and we plan to put it in a study or office or other room after we are done having children. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-view-a-rocking-chair-as-an-investment-or-did-you-buy-a-cheaper-one#post-128344 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 12:58:21 +0000 bushelandapeck 128344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were given a rocking chair by some friends that I intend to use either in the nursery or living room but I still plan to buy this rocker as my sister has one and I love it! </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Chicago-Textile-rocker-Prairie-Linen-Natural/dp/B0060ZPY3M/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1334771857&#038;sr=8-9" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Chicago-Textile-rocker-Prairie-Linen-Natural/dp/B0060ZPY3M/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1334771857&#038;sr=8-9</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-view-a-rocking-chair-as-an-investment-or-did-you-buy-a-cheaper-one#post-128343 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 12:57:35 +0000 Mrs. Pen 128343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Yeah, we have a townhouse. And it would be nice to have on in his room for storytime and rocking at night. As it is, we learned how to breastfeed laying down in bed, and LO sleeps with us, so nights are actually really easy. But it took awhile for both of us to learn how to BF in bed. So, we have the rocker in the livingroom downstairs and that's where I feed him during the day. I also sit in it while he's napping and I'm at my computer, or doing other stuff. I love my chair! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-view-a-rocking-chair-as-an-investment-or-did-you-buy-a-cheaper-one#post-128287 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 12:12:55 +0000 banana 128287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought about it getting one and decided not to. There were other things that I needed more than a glider. It's definitely a nice to have. But not a necessity for me at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-view-a-rocking-chair-as-an-investment-or-did-you-buy-a-cheaper-one#post-128280 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 12:06:59 +0000 MsLipGloss 128280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Miss-Spunkin: Too funny! My DH actually suggested it. :) But I think it came more from his fear of me climbing steps all the time with butterbean while sleep-deprived . . . and because I actually fell down the stairs a few weeks ago (butterbean was fine, but DH was a little rattled). The bruise was so horrendous it looked like I broke by butt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-view-a-rocking-chair-as-an-investment-or-did-you-buy-a-cheaper-one#post-125224 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 16:29:46 +0000 Mrs. Pen 125224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I considered it! but my husband laughed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-view-a-rocking-chair-as-an-investment-or-did-you-buy-a-cheaper-one#post-125165 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:54:01 +0000 Honeybee 125165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol, mine was a hand-me-down from a co-worker. :) It had just been sitting in her garage for the last 20 years or so, and it was free, so... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-view-a-rocking-chair-as-an-investment-or-did-you-buy-a-cheaper-one#post-125138 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:39:09 +0000 Minnie_Girl 125138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd consider any piece of furniture an investment.

It feels odd to get a new rocker, when this one has served 4 generations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-view-a-rocking-chair-as-an-investment-or-did-you-buy-a-cheaper-one#post-124948 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 14:43:02 +0000 lemondrop 124948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't buy one. Several years ago before even thinking of kids, we bought a great overstuffed recliner that rocks, and I pretty much live in it now with the baby. It is so easy to sleep in too (slept for 3 hours in it early this morning). I was afraid I would drop him with a glider. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-view-a-rocking-chair-as-an-investment-or-did-you-buy-a-cheaper-one#post-124938 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 14:40:00 +0000 Andrea 124938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>An investment - we got our money's worth but looking back - we could have gone with a cheaper one. I was just in a baby store this weekend and saw a cheaper one that I like more than ours but this is just in hindsight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-view-a-rocking-chair-as-an-investment-or-did-you-buy-a-cheaper-one#post-124804 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:52:48 +0000 Mrs. Bee 124804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it was an investment and we definitely got our money's worth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-view-a-rocking-chair-as-an-investment-or-did-you-buy-a-cheaper-one#post-124796 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:50:24 +0000 lavender 124796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had an Ikea Poang in our family room and we use that as our glider.

Love your chair.<br /> We decided not to buy a glider/chair.

Every night time feeding is done in that upholstered glider so it needed to be super comfy. And, one we're done having babies we'll be able to continue to use it since it doesn't really look like a nursery chair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-view-a-rocking-chair-as-an-investment-or-did-you-buy-a-cheaper-one#post-124621 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 12:31:01 +0000 heffalump 124621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Investment.
