I bought this for my almost 2 year old son.  It's the perfect size for him and for our family room.  I think we'll get at least several years of use out of it.  He uses it to eat snacks, do crafts and coloring, read books, play puzzles, and more.  In fact, for about the first week he didn't want to sit anywhere else.  It's solid wood and very easy to assemble (my husband did it in about 20 minutes).
