Judy designed the high chair in 1996. It is the most complex and difficult piece that we make. The price does not reflect the amount of work and skill that is needed to produce it.
If we were to charge what we should for these, they would be at least $1000. more. We love the piece and want to place them in more homes than a higher price would allow. We will do all that we can to keep making them for what we are charging now.
The seat is 13" X 12". This is a little larger than one would expect for an infant. We have done this to allow it to be used as a childs seat for several years after it has past its usefulness as a true high chair.
Our initial recommendation is to roll up a couple of towels and use them on either side of a smaller child to keep them secure.
There are inexpensive foam bolster seats that fit nicely in the seat for a younger child.
Leather cushions and bumpers are available and will be an option to the basic cost of the chair.
The top of the arms are 28" from the ground, allowing it to be used as a youth chair with the tray removed. We have used the best hardware available for the securing and removal of the tray
Used as a youth chair, it will provide several years of sitting at the table like an adult for a developing child.
Because their feet are on the step, and not the ground, they will need help in pulling in and moving out from the table. As with any piece of furniture that sits somewhat high, one must constantly be on guard to prevent the child from inadvertently pushing itself over.
The chair exceeds all of the voluntary Federal guidelines for high chairs.
Common sense and recommendations by experts are that children never be left unattended in a high chair. The safety strap provides all of the safety possible to engineer into a piece such as this.
We recommend however; that no child under 9 months of age be placed in the chair.
When all of the utilitarian purpose has been extracted from this chair, and it is waiting for another generation, it can grace a corner or a side of some room and will have few equals in its beauty. A plant or piece of pottery on the seat will make it a wonderful tabouret.
The chair is constructed entirely of carefully selected and matched quarter sawn oak. It is finished with highest grade vinyl sealer and lacquer, hand rubbed to produce a finish that is both beautiful and very durable.
The tray is the finest hard cherry that is finished with the same vinyl sealer and a water resistant lacquer.
Optional leather seat
& back cushions &bolsters.
Several colors
of leather are available.
$ 385.
