Comments about Pick N Glider Musician's Chair:

After I contacted Musicians Friend with frustration over certain quality aspects of this product, their customer service department was gracious in replacing the chair at their cost, which we have been pleased with. However, we still note issues with the shipping in which parts were shipped loose inside the box, and the box was not well sealed. Hopefully these concerns will filter down to the appropriate department and more care will be taken to avoid this situation in the future.

Came in timely manner. Packing leaves alot to be desired but have recieved furniture from other companied with similar packing so was not surprised. There was not enough washers to assemble the chair. This seems to be a common complaint in the reviews. If the company would use a heavier bag than a thin sandwich bag to pack the bolts and washers in there may be less loss.

I sat in a Pickin' Glider about 20 years ago at Elderly Instruments in Lansing,MI. I was trying to decide which banjo or guitar to buy. That smooth gliding, armless chair made pickin' special. I wanted one, but couldn't afford an instrument & chair on the same bill. Later, I bought a cheap glider & removed the arms to make my own chair.But, that didn't work. Recently, Musician's Friend had a sale with free shipping. Ironically, I paid less today than what the chair cost years ago! This is a great chair! Thanks Musician's Friend!

I have seen these chairs advertised various places for many years, and often thought about getting one for the dedicated guitar area in my basement. With the discount from M Friend, I decided to take the plunge.

Just as other reviewers noted, the company that makes this chair should invest a tad more in the quality of the shipping container. My chair was undamaged, but the container did have a gouge and it could have been hurt. That said, the assembly was a piece of cake, I can't imagine anyone having trouble. The color that I ordered (green) was just a little dissppointing as it was not as vibrantly bright as it looked online - I note that this chair also is not offerred in as many colors as it used to be. It still looks nice, and I am able to sit and force myself to practice my licks longer than before as my rear no longer goes numb as it did on my solid wood bottom prior chair. I play mostly acoustic, some larger size (eg Taylor LKSM 12 string) guitars, and the chair size is very adequate. I am an average 5'11" guy weighing 160 lbs so the chair sturdiness is no issue for me.

I am happy I finally got this.

The angle at which the manufacturer has set the back makes the chair quite uncomfortable. I had to add shims beneath the front to mitigate the problem. Whereas I like the concept of the chair, the actuality makes the experience not one I would choose to repeat.

Special thanks to MF Customer Service staff. The chair was backordered, but they kept me informed and delivered the chair sooner than expected.
Great product. I just bought a second chair - one on each floor of our home. I bought my first Glider about three years ago and have enjoyed it very much.
It goes togerther as expected and my first has served me well. Not luxurious, stylish or remarkable in any way, but very well-suited for the intended purpose.
BOUGHT MINE ON SALE AND WITH FREE SHIPPING.

Good, nicely designed chairs, very good value, rather annoying quality control problems with non-central aspects. I will note that if these are shipped long distances the way they are currently packaged, there may be a high risk of more severe damage than mine suffered, with attendant hassles.
They are everything advertised ... no arms to get in the way of instrument necks, high straight backs, nice cushioning and fabric, smooth glider action, nice wood. A small word of warning is that if you plan on spending a lot of time in it watching videos, you may find a relaxed position more comfortable, but that is not their intended purpose.
We have some quality control issues on non-central points, but a lack of control is obvious. Most importantly the foot pads between the wood and your precious wood floor seem to be an afterthought with no attention to their importance. First, they are skimpy, but the real problem is that they are installed with long staples, terribly applied. Of the eight pads on my two chairs, six staples still protruded above the pads, one almost missed the pad and bridged the area that is supposed to contact the floor, and only one of the eight was centered in the recessed area and properly sunk. I replaced all eight with more generous pads from Lowe's. The whole operation took about an hour. You have to be careful about damaging the legs when removing the staples, and despite the "tap-in" promise of the replacements, I had to drill starter holes. Again, the first time you try to slide these chairs across your wood floor, watch out!
Second is the packaging. The chair tops are dismounted from the glider bottom, and four bolts and washers are supposed to be included, presumably in the plastic bag stapled to the chair that contains the instructions. Well, you don't need the instructions, but in one of the boxes, three of the bolts were wondering homeless, while the other bolt and four washers had escaped thru one of the gouges in the shipping box. On one of the vertical chair back supports, there was a gouge about one half inch long. Both shipping boxes were violated. None of these problems made me want to send them back, but if I'd purchased them locally, I'd have wanted replacements. So, I conclude that precious little quality control is applied to shipping, and the chairs themselves should be wrapped in some of that dense bubble foam. The only assembly issue is that it's possible to mount the chair tops backwards, so pay just a little common sense attention.
A Musician's Friend sale made these attractive, after having noticed them maybe 10 years ago. Free shipping clinched the deal. Note that it is rare for Musician's friend to ship free to Alaska, or any of the US out-lying areas. Anyway, I'm happy with them and the price. I am not sure I couldn't have found a competing value locally, but again, no buyer's regret whatsoever.

This is the only armless glider I have seen. Made in the USA I believe. Comfortable. Get one. It's nice.
I looked around at other places for a similar glider. One problem, arms. This one allows you to play freely without damaging your instument. The cusion is soft and comfortable and I am a BIG guy. So, that is a plus. Great chair.
This comes in two pieces: the glider and the back. They are held together with four bolts with a washer in between to protect the chair. All you will need tool-wise is a 1/2 in wrench. Although, when I got mine, the ziploc bag that held the bolts and washers was ripped. So, all I could find was 4 bolts and 1 washer. I took the remaining washer to the local hardware store and $.85 later I had all 4. BTW: You might need a prybar to get the stapled lumber off the glider assembly. It is there to add support during shipping. Just be careful.
I would estimate this thing to be about $50 to $75 on the high side when I bought it, but it is solid and I wouldn't trade mine in.

Got chair in 4 days via UPS. Assembly took 10 minutes. Sits very comfortably, very smooth gliding feature which does not affect playing ability. I find it soothing. My only small problem is when playing my acoustic I sometimes find bottom edge of guitar hitting wood frame of seat which bothers me!
