Amish Glider

Amish Gliders: Solid Wood Gliding Chairs

Shop Amish gliders designed for smooth back-and-forth motion in living rooms, nurseries and relaxation areas. Designs range from exposed wood frames to upholstered seating, with options varying by model.

How a Glider Moves

Unlike a traditional rocker that travels on curved runners, a glider uses a mechanism to guide its motion. Allow adequate clearance behind and around the chair for comfortable operation.

Choosing a Glider

Compare overall dimensions, seat dimensions and upholstery options. If the chair will sit near a wall or table, account for its movement rather than only its stationary footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a glider the same as a rocking chair?
No. Both provide motion, but the movement and mechanism are different.
