What is the difference between a glider and swivel?
1 Answer
The main difference between a swivel and a glider is the type of movement each type of mechanism produces. A swivel chair spins in a 360-degree circle, while a glider moves backwards and forwards. Shop an assortment of glider and swivel chairs on 1stDibs.
