Glider chairs are a type of seating designed to move smoothly back and forth, providing a gentle rocking motion. They typically feature a sturdy frame, cushioned seat, and armrests, making them comfortable for relaxation. Glider chairs are often used in nurseries for parents to soothe their babies or in living rooms for casual seating. These chairs differ from traditional rocking chairs, as they glide on a track rather than rocking on curved legs. Many glider chairs come with additional features, such as reclining capabilities or matching ottomans, enhancing their comfort and functionality in spaces like nurseries or living rooms.
