Nursery Works Solstice Swivel Glider review

The Nursery Works Solstice is for parents who want the glider to look like a piece of furniture rather than baby gear. Designer Jean-Paul Dumouchel gave it a curved back and sloped armrests, hand-upholstered in boucle over a tonal wood base, in black or ivory. Under the shape it works like the other upholstered gliders here: a metal mechanism lets it swivel a full 360 degrees and glide back and forth. Nursery Works lists GREENGUARD Gold certification after testing for over 10,000 chemical emissions and VOCs, CertiPUR-US seat foam that meets CA TB117-2013 and FSC certified frame wood, and says setup takes a few steps with no tools. It was listed as ready to ship when we checked. The case against it is value: at $999 it costs more than the reclining Babyletto Kiwi and almost four times the DaVinci Gabby, and it does not recline. Boucle is soft but harder to wipe clean than performance fabric.
