First impressions--Good, not great,
June 27, 2009 A. Johnson "monkeyseemonkeydo" (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews
We put the high chair together today and put my 6 month old in it... I was disappointed that right out of the box, there was a blemish/chunk of wood missing, but it was next to the cushion hole where it will be covered so I didn't feel it warranted returning. When assembled, it looked and felt sturdy. However, I would probably recommend getting the infant insert for a 6-month old because the backrest only provides support in the upper back area (this is why they say make sure your child can sit up by themselves). The biggest problem we have so far is the safety strap-it's really cheap and difficult to unbuckle. Its also hard to adjust the length, and it does squat to keep her in the chair (the tray is what keeps her locked in).
pros: sturdy, less expensive then other high-end wooden high chairs (i.e.svan, stokke), not plastic, grows with your kid, unobtrusive, US company,
cons: have to pay a lot more for all the extras (cushions, tray, infant bar, infant...Read more

Designed to be looked at, not used,
November 5, 2009 Matt Post (Baltimore, MD) - See all my reviews
We've had this high chair for six months, and I've postponed writing this review because I really wanted to like this product. My wife and I were after a nice wooden high chair that would last as long as the wooden ones that our own parents still have, instead of purchasing yet another hunk of colored plastic that doesn't look as nice and would have to be thrown out after a number of years. This chair has a number of positive things going for it: the wood is of good quality and the pieces are well cut, it assembles easily, and it looks very nice, modern, and durable.
However, I have rated it one star, because I have a hard time believing that the people who designed this chair actually have children, or used it for their own children. Almost all of my complaints have to do with the tray mechanism. Its worst feature is that the tray is built from two separate pieces of wood: the horizontal piece slides into a groove in the frame piece. The tray comes assembled, but the...Read more

Fantastic Chair with Minor Flaw,
May 12, 2009 Sarah Buessing (NY, NY) - See all my reviews
I purchased this high chair from Amazon about 4 months ago for my 8 month old son. It is extremely easy to put together and I love how adjustable it is. It's a great inexpensive alternative to the popular Stokke Tripp Trapp, and I like having the tray for quick and easy clean-up.
The only negative thing about this chair was noted by another reviewer. The finish is very thin and does not hold up well to liquids. My son likes to turn his sippy cup over and splash the tray with water, and even though I cleaned and dried the tray after every feeding, the finish began to chip off in spots, leaving exposed wood beneath. My solution was to cover the flat surface of the tray with contact paper to protect what was left of the finish. Otherwise, great and attractive high chair!
