Summary: Beautiful and Great Quality 2008-04-25
Comment: My 8 month son and I assembled this quickly. I'm petite but he's really the handy one. The high-chair came with all the tools needed. Excellent wood quality, and sturdy chair. With a year-and-a-half of usage, I have the following recommendations:
1. Use an anti-skid rubber mat, like the one you find in the kitchen aisle of Target, to place on the seat. Otherwise, because the seat is just a flat piece, your child may slip or have a hard time staying in the seat. I have my brother to thank for that suggestion because when we first used this chair, my son was small, like me, and he didn't (and still doesn't at 23 lbs.) have enough weight to keep himself from sliding off.
2. I may somehow have a professional carpenter or someone who knows how to use a saw to cut back some of the arm rest so that I can slide the chair closer to the edge of our dining table. I studied it, and there's an unnecessary extra length on the arms that the tray would still work if we cut if off somehow and sanded the edges down. My brother has the TippTopp Kettler chair and the arms on that one is perfectly sized where they can have the high-chair flushed against the table. This extra long feature makes it hard for my little one, as tiny as he is, to reach the table and to be able to eat like the rest of us. Note, this suggestion is only if you choose not to use the tray. With the tray, it's just perfectly measured.
3. Always wipe the tray down afterwards. This is a nice wood piece that you wouldn't want to stain, if you plan on keeping it for future generations. Oh, by the way, I love the fact that this can be used up to like over 100lbs (or more). I haven't had a problem with keeping the tray in perfect condition, and we've had it for 1 1/2 years now. And even the straps are easy to unassemble to clean.
4. I would have liked to see the foot rest come out about 2-3" more. My son, as short and small as he is, already has outgrown that feature, so it seems that he doesn't have much support for his legs. Maybe the manufacturers can take back some of the arm rests and put it into the foot rest :-)
5. We purchased this item using Amazon Prime, where things are supposed to ship FREE for 2-day delivery. Of course, with this item being made of solid wood, it was considered a heavy item and Amazon charged us $20+ for shipping. One of those small fine prints that gets you down after all the excitement of finding that perfect piece of furniture. However, Amazon was great, in that, they assured to refund every penny if I wasn't completely satisfied.
Thanks, but I'm glad I didn't return it because our family love it and are glad we were able to find it at Amazon. This is definitely a keeper!
