This chair is well made and easy to put together.  I bought it for my 4 yr old grandson and thought it would be good for him until he's 7 or 8.  No way.  This chair is the same size as the one I was replacing because he was growing out of it.  I would say this chair would be great for a 2-4/5 yr old.  My misunderstand, I guess.  I thought big kid meant.....ummmm, big kid.
