We bought the Avalon chair & table set and two additional chairs. They are beautiful and very strong--adults sit on them with no problem. They are a little big for the smallest children (age 2 and under), but sit even 8 and 9 year olds comfortably. My children use this table for crafts; for dinner parties; etc. The only problem is that the table surface can be easily marked--we have a green marker line across the top and a crayon line up one leg. I'd think that the table could have a more wipe-clean surface. Food stains wipe up easily--but I think that some crayons and markers (and not just permanent ones) can stain the surface.

Purchased as a desk chair based on Amazon's "Frequently Bought Together" section of the page for a student desk I was checking out. This Kidkraft chair was shown as the one that could go with the desk, I bought the student desk and the chair of a matching color.
I should've done more research. Found out after I got them that thechair is way too short for the 28" high desk. The chair's description doesn't say what height work surface they're for, nor a child's age group they're suitable for. Found out with more research that these chairs are intended to be mated up with a 22" table! Huge difference - especially for an eight year old!
I suspect that "Frequently Bought Together" section is driven by statistics of on-line purchasers rather than any dimensions of compatibility. Therefore, I'm not the first to make this mistake - nor will I be the last.
I found nothing else from Amazon I liked, so shopped on line elsewhere. Come to find out, the Amazon competitor had more choices in chair styles (which I've ordered) AND I could've gotten the DESK much cheaper too. It pays to shop around.
The chair appears to be a solid product and if I needed it for younger children, I'd keep it and get the matching table.

Unfortunately these issues, by their nature, are the product of buying things on line.

I bought these chairs (and the matching table) for two boys who had outgrown their "kid-sized" (which was really preschool sized) set. These are sturdy enough for grownups (even 200 pound grownups), not too big for a five year old, and perfect for first through about third graders. The kids use these every day and they are holding up well.

KidKraft is always great. Shipped and arrived on time. Solid, very durable, perfect height. No scratches or broken pieces. We will get quite a few years out of these chairs.

We are very pleased with the quality of the KidKraft Avalon chair. It is perfect for our 6 year-old daughter's youth desk.

This little chair will last for years. It is made of good hardwood. Well assembled. I bought this for my 3 year old grandson for Christmas and he uses it with his lego/duplo table and while he has his meals at his table.

WE have had this set for 6 years now and still love it! My kids (now 8 and 5) still fit very comfortably. It is still solid as a rock. We have it in our eat in kitchen and the funny thing is all the adults tend to sit there too -- and comfortably! It turns out to be one of the best "kid" purchases we have made!

This chair fell apart minutes after putting it together! Literally! It took longer to put it together than it lasted. Then we had to take it apart so we could send it back...only to find out that the company doesn't accept returns on furniture. Now my daughter has a desk with no chair, and we have a broken chair in a box! Awesome!!

While I believe it is very good chair and put together very solidly, I think it is a bit pricey overall for what you get. I suppose the manufacturer/seller can get what the market bears but I still believe the price is a bit high.

Received and one of them was broke and called up and then within 2 days had a brand new chair. Great customer service and my daughter loves her table and 4 chairs. Great for coloring playdough and tea parties!
