Badger Basket Embassy Wooden High Chair in Cherry

Although the chair looked good, we were unable to assemble it correctly because the pre-drilled holes did not match up. It was extremely hard to get an eight month old baby in because of the front crossbar. The plastic tray was damaged when it arrived, but we did get another promptly before we found there were other problems.

• How accurate was the sizing? Too small to get a baby in comfortably.
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. The quality was not what I expected.
• Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? no, tray was damaged. They prompty send a replacement. Then the pre-drilled holes didn't line up to assemble.

Couldn't use the buckles and our toddler would get out of it in 1 min. It needs improvements.

I waited to write a review of this product until I had used it for a good amount of time. I read lots of reviews by first time parents who haven't even had the baby yet and only assembled the product. This chair is "pretty" and it matches my furniture. This is the only good thing I have to say. The back of the chair is not supportive and not adjustable. My son squirms all over the place in this chair. The tray is so far away that he can easily turn his body around (even with restraints). The restraints are in an akward position and EVERY time I use them it pinches my fingers and leave bruises. In addition the restraints are ALWAYS getting tangled and even though we have used this d*mn chair for 3 months, I always have to re-figure out how they work. The restraints DO NOT detatch from the wood, which means cleaning is a joke! Also the fabric of the restraints, is slick feeling and the buckle for them constantly comes off, which means I have to put it back on all the time. The wooden seat can slide forward and backward, my son especially loves to stand on the bottom board, use the pressure from the back of the knees to slide the seat part out and wha la! No seat to sit on. He can also do the same thing (in a different way) with the bottom plate. I have tried just removing the bottom plate, but then he screams. Overall he is just this 8 month old baby who is floating in this awful, uncomfortable high chair that he hates, and I loathe. Even writing this review makes me frustrated. This chair might be cool for a toddler who isn't quite ready to sit in a regular chair and doesn't want a booster seat. Other than that consider yourself warned!

We have a large family room/ living room/ kitchen area so the chair looks really nice with our decor and we will be able to use it as she grows. We loved our so much that we bought an additional one to keep at my mom's house. My daughter loves it and other chairs I've seen with this same design were $200+. We are very happy with it.

• How accurate was the sizing? Very Accurate
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. The structre is high quality, but the seat pad is burlap. Very easy to cover though! And the seatpad comes off easily for washing.
• Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? There was a small crack on the removable tray insert, but still usable.
