I bought this for my grandson and put it together except for the last two screws that hold the seat on. The assembly didn't quite match the instructions, but I figured it out pretty easily. It seemed like the last two screws were too short, but they seem to be doing the job. My husband is talking about getting some longer screws to replace them. It looks very nice. There are many imperfections in the wood, but they were puttied over and finished so that the feel of the wood is very smooth. My 20-month grandson still doesn't want to sit in it, but I think he will eventually -- so far he doesn't sit anywhere. He's about 32 pounds and it's the right size.
