First of all this is a very solid, good looking chair. It is also very adaptable as you can lay back and also sit up. Really cool engineering. The reason I could only give it 2 stars is because when my daughter sat in it her skin was immediately pinched and then it caught some of her hair. That just will not do. The chair really needs a fabric cover of some sort. Also the chair is minimally finished and protected. The manufacturer suggests several coats of oil which I think is just too much work.
