Wanted a chair that was modern looking and good for toddlers. My 2 year old is able to stand on it without it falling over since the legs are more wide. I can also fit my booster seat on the chair too. A down side is that the black paint has chipped off some of the arms from scrapping against our dining table when pushed under. So just be careful about the height of the chair and your table. Also having black chairs means you see all the dust and crumbs on it too.
