I have the Monte glider and I wouldn't replace it for the world. Found it on fb for $300 and it retails for $1600 I think. You can surely find one in your area, they're the highest rated, ergonomic nursing chairs. My husband with sciatica was able to use it without causing him back trouble (rare).
Enthusiastic โ 'wouldn't replace it for the world'. Found for $300 vs $1600 retail on FB Marketplace. Ergonomic enough for a husband with sciatica. Highest praise.
We have a Monte with ottoman purchased in 2016 during my first pregnancy. Our youngest (and last) is now four, but the chair is still in our primary bedroom and used by me as reading and snuggle chair several times a week. I wanted somewhat would be comfortable for me to use for bedtime snuggles and middle of the night rocking, but also work well when kids are older, while also being attractive. I don't regret our purchase. It's significantly more comfortable than most nursery chairs I've sat in at friend's house.
Enthusiastic โ purchased 2016, still used weekly in 2023 (7+ years). 'Significantly more comfortable than most nursery chairs.' No regrets. Attractive design that works beyond nursery age.
We just bought a Liam motorized recliner from marketplace for our second nursery. I'm so surprised to hear you say it's cheaply made? It's not as well made as our Monte but it is a less expensive chair overall with more features.
Owns a Monte and uses it as the quality benchmark โ a La-Z-Boy Liam is 'not as well made as our Monte'. Implies Monte is the gold standard for build quality.
We tried a Monte in store and it was extremely comfortable! Ended up going with the babyletto because we wanted a recliner too but this was a top contender.
Positive impression from in-store testing โ 'extremely comfortable' and a top contender. Lost to Babyletto only because Monte lacks a recliner. Confirms comfort reputation.
I think I have this exact one (it's a Monte but from crate & barrel so it had a different name, Milo maybe). The back and seat are suuuper comfy. But the arms are too tall and skinny for me to be comfortable. I always had to use a bolster pillow to hold my arm or else just sort of hover. And when my newborn was taking 3 hour contact naps that killed me.
Mixed โ back and seat are 'suuuper comfy' but arms are too tall and skinny for comfortable nursing/contact naps. Needed a bolster pillow workaround. Arm design is a significant ergonomic issue.
Same!! I actually like it better than our Monte glider by far
Negative comparison โ owns a Monte but prefers the IKEA Poรคng 'by far'. Suggests the Monte wasn't as comfortable or functional for this user despite its premium price.
