The manufacturer's website claims that this is made in the US or Europe. It is not. It is made in China, the box says Made in China and there is a heinous sticker on the back that also "proudly" announces its Chinese heritage. The total lack of quality shows at every stage: from unboxing to assembling to using it. The hardware is of especially low quality. The hex bolts are so poorly made that it is impossible to fully insert a hex wrench to tighten them. Not to mention that the included hex wrench does not even fit half of the included bolts. As an additional "bonus" mine came with a sheet of paper that says "instructions on other side", the other side of the paper is blank. Had I been tasked with making the instructions I would have printed the same "instructions on other side" message on both sides.

I can only recommend that you do not waste your money on this junk.

For the interested here is the quote from the front page of the manufacturer's website:

"Safety, innovation and high quality are features of all PRIMO baby products designed and manufactured in Europe or the USA!"

PLEASE do not put your child in this chair EVER. We recently visited a very nice restaurant who used these high chairs - I'd never seen one in my life and thought it looked nice and sturdy. About halfway through our meal, the seat of the high chair fell out and our 7 month old BABY fell smack on the floor, hitting his head. It was a terrible freak accident. We are having to keep our eye on him to make sure he is okay.
Do not - PLEASE - do not risk it.
If I could give it zero stars, I would.

I was excited to get this chair so my toddler could sit at the table with us. I was hoping it was worth the investment to get something that would grow with him. We have had nothing but trouble with this chair, however, from trying to assemble it to the actual use. Whoever designed this must not have children because it is virtually impossible to get our son in and out of it with the (permanent) position of the wooden bar - it is such an ordeal that it is effecting his desire to eat his meals if he has to get in this contraption. If he were to choke while eating, I fear I wouldn't be able to get him out of the chair quickly enough. The overall quality of the chair is also extremely poor, from the leather strap, which came cracked and worn through on one side, to the screws which were stripped after such trial-and-error assembly (our instructions said detailed directions were on the reverse - which was blank!). The chair is wobbly when assembled and the seat and foot platforms cannot be adjusted without taking the whole thing apart each time. The web description makes one think this chair is made in the US or Europe, but the box and chair were clearly labeled "made in China" - which is exactly what I was hoping to avoid. We are so disappointed with this purchase and I would definitely suggest going with a different brand.

Received it at my baby shower. I have been using it for about a month every day now. The first time the seat came out and my kid was hanging on for dear life, I thought it was a freak accident and couldn't figure out how it happened. The second time, I saw exactly how it happened.

First of all, this thing is super-wobbly. Second, my child can easily twist all the way around and get one of his legs out the hole in the back--the chair doesn't keep him facing forward. Third, AND HERE'S WHERE IT'S GOING TO KILL SOMEONE'S CHILD, the piece of wood that the kid sits on--my kid was strong enough (at 7 months old) to kick his legs back while sitting on it and the seat flew backwards out of the slat and was dangling by the velcro black strap that goes between his legs. My child was also dangling--from the wooden bar that's in front--screaming and crying. Had he not been holding onto that bar, he would have fallen through the hole and hit the ground possibly cracking his head open or just breaking his neck as he went through the hole.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS DANGEROUS PRODUCT!!!!!!

Great chair for the price.
The wood is nice to look at and feel. My six month old fits great in it (on the third rung down) and appears very secure.

Considering I bought this (including shipping!) for under half what a Stokke Tripp Trapp plus accessories would have run us, it is an excellent deal. The quality may be a bit lacking, but I can turn my head to the fact that I needed to wedge a few pieces of paper into the slot to secure the upper seat (was very secure until we switched foot platform locations, to be close to the black bar).

I would buy it again!

We bought this highchair for my 5 month old son and everyone in the family loves it. The product is lightweight so it is easy to move from the kitchen to the dining room and since everything on it is adjustable, we will be able to use it for a very long time.

The chair was shipped to us in Singapore (FPO). It arrived in good condition and was easy to assemble. We've been using it for about 2 weeks now for our 2 year old (who refuses to sit in a high chair) and so far so good. She likes it and we like it. Not sure why anyone would spend the extra money on the Stokke chair when you could buy two of these for the same price.

Thought I should update since this chair gets a lot of bad reviews...why I don't know. We have been using and abusing this chair for 1.5 years now and I"m ordering a second one for my third child today. This is the best deal ever. We threw away all the cloth bits and straps...not condusive to life in the tropics. We all sit on this chair and it seems immune to damage from milk spillages and crayons and stickers. It all wipes off and looks good as new.

This chair starts out as a nice concept and does enable my 17 month old son to eat at the dinner table with the rest of the family. It is however, wobbly after assembly. The hardware can easily be stripped during assembly as it is trial and error getting the seat and foot rest positioned exactly right to accommodate your child. It is suppose to be fully adjustable and grow with your child but how can you do this if the hardware strips out after initial set up. How about real screws and no allen wrenches. The leg partition strap is not really useful and my son can easily climb in and out. It needs a better restraining system. The seat and back cushions are also useless as they just get filthy and slide around. They can be washed but I just elected to not use them after the first day of use. I would recommend trying a different brand.

This is the third high chair we've tried and so far it's the best one. It's very easy to clean, looks great, and easy to have our daughter sit at the table with us. The only problem was that the screws were stripped by the time we were done assembling it which will make it very hard to adjust it. We'll have to buy new screws before we attempt to adjust it for her as she grows. Other than that, it's very stable, sturdy and easy to use. In fact, it's more attractive in our house than it was in the picture.

This product was a good buy b/c it has a good reasonable price and can be used for years! While it doesn't have the quality of the Stokke, I think it compares well. I am under 150lbs myself, so once my child is done with it I will be able to use myself- you can't beat that for just over $100. The Stokke runs much more and offers the ability- to use from toddler to adult. The only problem with this one is the wood quality is not great- you have to unscrew the sides a bit to move the seat and it split a little while putting it together... but in that... you get what you pay for. So overall, we saved a lot of money buying this one and it still works great.
