Just as goes as the trip trap if you don’t need the baby seat. Bought it for my 3 yr old when my baby was ready for to use the high chair. We didn’t want to spend so much on a second Tripp trapp but wanted the benefit of the adjustable seat and foot rest etc. Was exactly what we wanted, great quality and my son was happy!!

For color reference. It is exactly the same color as the ikea Ingatorp dining table. Solid wood. Easy to clean. I can't pick on anything to complain. The separately sold straps are not too useful because it slides around. I will recommend the chair for 2.5 years old and up but not any younger. My child is now 3 and we stopped using the straps for awhile now. She is happy with the chair. Good alternative to the Tripp Trapp chair.

I purchased this chair to use for my 2 year old grandchild. She loves it and wants to use it to eat at the kitchen island. I did purchase a harness to keep her strapped in. I recommend using an appropriately child harness if you are purchasing this for a very young child.

Update: They are sending me a replacement. Great customer service.Beautiful and seemed high quality at first, but after a year the seat and footrest keep falling out and can’t be tightened anymore.

This chair is AMAZING!!! My granddaughter (3yrs old) was too big for a high chair but couldn't sit properly on a regular kitchen chair. Dinner time used to be a struggle for her to kneel the entire meal. NOW, with this amazing chair she sits and eats so nicely!!! The style of this chair was well thought out.....there are no "arms"....this allows for it to be pushed in under the table to bring the child close to their plate. The construction is VERY sturdy and easy to assemble. Completely adjustable without tools!!!!

I hate seat boosters and anything else that looks like a baby car seat at the dining table. But a separate chair for toddlers who have outgrown the baby high seat? This chair is your answer! The height can be adjusted. Any spills can also be easily wiped and it feels sturdy and stable. I really can see this chair being useful for children of any height until they are old or tall enough to sit in a dining chair. I recommend this chair 100% and really like the fact they they come in different colors so you can at least choose something that blends in better with the other chairs at the table.

Overall, we love this chair! When my toddler outgrew his high chair, we tried a couple other options, but didn't love them. I was hesitant to buy this, as I'd already spent so much money on various high chairs and toddler seats, trying to find the best ones - but I decided it was worth a shot, and I'm glad I did!The chair is very study and we've had no issues with the durability. I had a Stokke Tripp Trapp at one point, but I think I like this better! However, I am disappointed in the quality of the black paint used. While it is SUPER easy to clean, it does scratch and chip fairly easily. My toddler occasionally bangs his silverware around, and while I'd love for him to stop doing that... he's a toddler. And this is a toddler chair, so it'd be nice if it held up against toddler antics a bit better.So I'm docking one star just for the paint. Which I otherwise really like, as it looks sharp and is SO easy to wipe down. It's also quite slick, though, so be careful when your little one is wearing socks!

We love these chairs. Initially bought to help my squirmy 4 year old son stay at the dinner table. Our table is counter height, so one of the most important factors was the seat height (it sits about 1” higher than our regular chairs). Love that the foot rest is adjustable and it allows kids to get into and out of their seats unassisted. We’ve had for two years and bought a second one for my daughter. The finish is durable (wipes clean easily and has not changed in color with daily wipe downs). They have grown with our kids and are often used by the shorter adults in our household too (really can be used from baby to adult).

This chair looks nicer than I expected and perfectly matches our dining set. It is very sturdy and allows us get our toddler positioned with 90 degree angles at the ankle, hip, knee, and elbow. I highly recommend both the pad and safety harness. Having no arms allows us to make custom adjustments but leaves nothing to hold the child in. This is NOT a complaint.

For our first child, we bought an inexpensive average sort of high chair from Target. He could never sit up in it quite right as the seat was very deep and wide and let his feet dangle. As it turns out, it's ideal for babies to have their feet flat on something, so we bought a little foot plate off Etsy. Our kiddo rarely used it - it was well made and installed at the perfect height, but it was pretty narrow so his wiggly feet wouldn't stay on. When we were able to, we got a Stokke Tripp Trapp. 2 years later, we still have the Tripp Trapp and a new baby. We don't have any hope of being able to afford another one by the time our second is ready to start solids, so I started looking for good budget friendly alternatives. I chose this one out of many adjustable chairs even though it doesn't work for babies. We figured we could give this one to our toddler and use the Tripp Trapp (with its removable chair back, front leg piece, and harness straps) for the baby.The Fornel chair arrived today and it was super easy to put together. The hardest part was getting everything out of the box because I had the baby strapped onto my chest in a wrap. Ha! Putting it together took 10 minutes, including the time it took to get my toddler to sit on it so I could check and adjust the height of the foot and seat plates. The chair is beautiful and sturdy and a FANTASTIC alternative to the popular and excellent but twice-as-costly Tripp Trapp. I wish this chair had the option to buy and add on a harness for a young baby. The fact that it's essentially only a toddler chair is its only major drawback. Otherwise, I'd actually 100% prefer this chair to the Tripp Trapp, as I like the shape of this chair better. And you can't beat the price. If we have another child, I will buy another of these Fornel chairs for our then-toddler while keeping the Tripp Trapp for the baby. And our first would still be using the first Fornel chair as it grows with the child, even holding up to 200 lbs! The Tripp Trapp holds up to 300 lbs, but even so, this chair can be used for a really long time, and may never be outgrown if you're not a large and heavy set person (for example, me! The heaviest I've been is 160 lbs while pregnant). Truly, this is a fantastic chair.I took several pictures of the Fornel and Stokke chairs side by side for comparison, but I'm unable to attach them here for some reason. Both are nearly identically sized - the Stokke chair is around ¼" wider overall, but the seats of both chairs are the same width. The Fornel is maybe ¾" taller from floor to top of the chair. Both chairs are the same depth measured from the front to the back of the legs along the floor. The Fornel does have smaller foot and seat plates depth-wise, which is one con in my opinion. However, the Fornel has higher slots in which to slide in the seat, making it more adjustable. (Perhaps it would work for a kitchen island???)In short, this chair rocks. I love it and so does my toddler. And our wallet.Pros:1. Price2. Easy to put together and adjust3. Grows with your child4. Quality/sturdinessCons:1. Not for babies2. Foot and seat plates are smallish

Bought it for my 5 year old for homeworks and dinner and he sits much better than on a ikea chair as it's adapted to his his size (also the footrest). Speedy delivery, very easy and speedy assembly, no plastic at all for the package. Great!

Good solid wood. Both my children and myself can sit on it without any problem.The only problem is that if children are moving on the chair, it does wibble a little, and after a few days, some of the screws become loose and I have to tight them again. For children, you can never expect them to sit there quietly all the time, so some improvement will be good.
