We're skipping it. Apparently babies start to enjoy chewing on their cribs at some point, and I don't want to stress about it.

It's not a glider, it's a rocker, but I've sat in it and it's very comfortable. And quite modern! It's actually going to sit in our living room until we move.

And I love Target. That said, I've always thought Target furniture was cheap--the only thing I've ever bought from them were some kitchen chairs, and they were indeed cheap things. Promptly fell apart even though almost no one ever sat on them. And I've looked at Target furniture in the store many times and it seems cheap. Also, I read on Apartment Therapy that the Target baby furniture smells terrible as it off-gasses. I think we're going with one of the BabyMod cribs, as I know that many of the cribs are actually made by big crib makers, including DaVinci. I'm not sure about the manufacturers of the most modern BabyMod cribs, but I've read plenty of good reviews.

Now we just need to find modern glider and ottoman that works well with it.

Otherwise you'll go utterly mad, and that's not a good position to be in when you're parenting. Seriously, no matter how awesome any given baby item is and no matter how much you love it when you bring it home, something better will always come along about four months later. (The lone exception to this rule is the baby himself!) Just start making lists of stuff you want and love and can't wait to do for the toddler room... or the next baby's room!
