QW Amish Mission Swivel Glider with Platform Base

Unlike a traditional rocker that moves on an arc, this glider uses a specialized mechanism to move back and forth on a flat plane. The addition of a 360-degree swivel base allows for greater mobility, making it easier to turn and face different parts of a room without shifting the entire chair.

Yes, the platform base is designed to be sturdy and self-contained, which helps distribute weight evenly. It performs well on both carpet and hard surfaces, though we recommend using a rug pad or felt floor protectors if you are placing it on hardwood to prevent any potential sliding or scratching.

All available wood options are hardwoods, meaning they are inherently durable and built to last for generations. While options like Hickory and Quarter-Sawn White Oak are exceptionally dense and resistant to wear, softer hardwoods like Brown Maple provide a smooth, uniform grain that takes stains beautifully.

The ease of cleaning depends on the material you choose. Our Heartland Fabrics are selected for durability, but if you anticipate frequent spills, we recommend opting for our performance fabrics or leather, which are generally more resistant to stains and easier to wipe clean.

Because of the craftsmanship involved, these gliders are typically shipped in a way that requires minimal assembly, usually just attaching the seat to the base. Detailed instructions are included, and the process is straightforward enough to be completed with basic household tools.

Mission style is defined by clean lines, exposed joinery, and a focus on functional simplicity, which makes it surprisingly versatile. It pairs well with modern decor by acting as a grounding, organic element that adds warmth without the visual clutter of ornate furniture.
