The Great Glider Debate...



(Bump date will be next Weds! I wanted to wait and do one next week since I'll be 18 weeks and our apt is Monday!)
Happy hump day!
How come no one ever told me how hard finding a glider for the nursery would be?! Talk about options upon options...oh, and money. These things aren't cheap!
Naturally, just like everyone else (from what I've heard), my favorite option so far is the Pottery Barn one. It's comfortable, classic, but really expensive. Tell me mama's, are the PB glider's worth the price? Do you absolutely love yours? Did you find another option that is just as good but cheaper? If I can find one I like just as much for cheaper, then I'm all about it! Also, my girlfriend Genna gave me a really good idea and told me I could get on a waiting list for one at the PB outlet. She did that when she got hers and that would help with the price situation... (thanks, Genna!)
I'm a review type of person. I will research the crap out of things on the internet before buying, and during my search for other gliders I found this one from Target that is exactly what we are looking for, but of course it has terrible reviews. Figures, right? I could always risk it and order it to see for ourselves since we would be saving almost $500, but is that the smartest option?
Then, there's this DIY wingback rocker tutorial that is catching my eye. I know Billy could handle this project, but is the chair comfortable? I don't know and wouldn't know until after making the two hour drive to our closest IKEA to find out. I've heard really great things about it, so it's an option.
Aaaand then I found this awesome glider from Wayfair that looks really nice, is at an amazing price point, but is out of stock until September. If it's that popular though, people must really love it so it might be worth the wait (especially since we do have the time) to order it when it comes back in stock. But then again, I wouldn't get to try it out before buying which, again, isn't as appealing as the PB option.
Confusion is my current state of mind....can you tell? Luckily, I still have plenty of time but it would also be nice to figure it out so we can cross it off our list of decision we need to make, which right now seems like it's never.ending. At least their all fun decisions, though. :)

If you've been through the search of trying to find a glider before, any recommendations for me? What glider do you have? Any other gliders not on this list that you know about and love? Which one on this list do you think would be our best bet?!
