Delta Children Epic Nursery Swivel Glider review

The Delta Children Epic is a straightforward swivel glider priced at $279.99 on deltachildren.com. It swivels 360 degrees and glides on an all-steel mechanism that Delta calls whisper-quiet, and the padded seat sits on pocketed coil support over a wooden frame. What sets the Epic page apart is that Delta publishes its glider tests: the seat must withstand 125 pounds dropped from 3 inches 10,000 times, the arms 60,000 impacts, and the rocking mechanism must hold 225 pounds over 100,000 back and forth cycles. The chair measures 32.5 inches wide, 36 inches high and 30.25 inches deep and weighs 71 lbs. It needs simple assembly, and Delta says to spot clean the fabric with mild, water-free cleaning solvents. It does not recline, and it had only 1 review on deltachildren.com when we checked. Delta also sells it as part of 6-piece nursery collections with a matching crib and dresser.
