In their words
“I’m not 1 to spend a crap load of money on baby items. Especially things that aren’t used to long. So I wasn’t spending over $50 on a high chair. This purchase was absolutely perfect for my budget on a high chair. It’s sturdy enough, doesn’t take up that much space and easy to clean once done feeding baby.”

“I wanted a small foldable high chair because we live in a small cabin homesteading. this chair folds small but it SUCKS!!!!! do not buy this chair. the plastic feet that you attach have the shortest holes for the screws and even shorter screws ( no buying diff screws would not fix the issue) with that issue the plastic feet that keep it from tipping over started to come off after a couple uses.”
