Anyone interested in a fixable Dutailier glider?

EDIT (3/31/09): Grandma (great-grandma to baby) claimed the glider first thing this morning.

A little over a week ago we opened the box to our new glider to find that one of the wooden "feet" had split and broken. So I called the company, and they assured me they'd send a new base.

The new parts arrived today, and Brian had everything assembled by the time I got home. It looks wonderful in the nursery, and it's really, REALLY comfy! Finally, all the big pieces are in place!

However, rather than just send a new base, the company sent a whole new glider. So now we have an extra, although slightly damaged Dutailier. These things are supposed to be top-of-the-line chairs (they retail for $400), so obviously we don't want to just put the extra one out at the curb. Brian thinks the base can be fixed with some strong wood glue and maybe a screw or two to strenghten the re-connection.

So, anyone interested in a free, most likely fixable, glider? Here are further product details. Comment, call or e-mail me if you want to pick it up.

Below are some pics of the broken part, the extra glider (in pieces) and the nursery, set up with everything in place!

Love it, did you stain the closet doors to match the furniture or were they like that? Also how did you do the tree on the wall?

Thanks! Nope, we just lucked out with the color of the furniture -- it matches the closet doors almost perfectly.

Tree is a vinyl decal from Etsy.
