Upholstered Gliders
The first upholstered gliders were simple metal frames with cushions upholstered in coated ducks and canvases featuring Victorian-inspired patterns. Later, the upholstered frames became more elaborate with embossed motifs. With so many designers now making superb outdoor fabrics, these treasures can be refinished to make a unique personal statement that will go with any décor. These are some examples of upholstered gliders.
