Graco Classic Wood Highchair with Seat Pad, Butter Pecan Review

Graco Classic Wood Highchair with Seat Pad, Butter PecanPros:
1)This is a very sturdy wooden high chair that is a breeze to assemble.
The back is curved and my 1 year old grandson seems more comfortable in it than in his straight back chair at home. It is also a very attractive chair.

2)The seat cushion actually is prettier than it looks in the picture. The cushion ties snap on and just look like they are tied. I have not washed it yet but small spills wipe off easily.The harness removes easily for washing also.

3)The plastic cover on the tray is nice and snaps on securely enough without being hard to remove. Even though it says safe for dishwasher, I just wash by hand. It wipes down easily. I think the dishwasher might warp it and cause it not to fit well. If you want to use the tray without the plastic cover you may want to add a layer of clear coat.I don't know if the tray's wood finish would hold up to repeated washings.

Cons:
1) My biggest complaint was the bar in the center between the child's legs.The design is all wrong and it is not adjustable.It goes too far back in the seat.We drilled out the screw covers to remove it but when we pried it off we didn't realize it was also glued and ended up peeling off a thin layer of wood and finish.We had to use wood filler. Since the bar is attached to the underside of the snack tray it doesn't show.

2)I also had to deduct a star because I feel that the following description was deceptive.

# Converts to a toddler chair then kids chair for years of use
# With tray off, chair is the right height for a toddler to reach the dinner table
# Later on, chair becomes an extra seat for the whole family.

I have 2 standard height tables and this chair will not push up to either table with enough space for the child's legs to fit under the table. Not even for a one year old.Certainly not for an older child. It would maybe work for a breakfast bar - which I do not have. It is tall like a barstool and not adjustable. Forget the nonsense about an extra seat for the whole family.It is not that big.It is a for a baby's use and only that.If that is what you want then this will not bother you.

Summary:
This is a overall a well made high chair that will stand up for many, many years of use. It is worth the price, just don't expect anything but a high chair.
