Excellent investment!

"This high chair is looks beautiful in our kitchen. It is very sturdy, is made of beautiful wood, and was easy to put together. The size is slightly smaller than traditional high chairs so my baby fit comfortably in it from about 4 1/2 months old. It also tucks into a corner easily. The wooden support system worked very well for a small baby because she couldn't slide out the bottom like she did in a traditional high chair. I wouldn't buy any other high chair!!!!"

"My daughter loves this highchair! She loves being able to sit up and look around, play with toys, and participate in family mealtime. It fits her perfectly. It also looks great in our living space - you almost don't even notice it. So far it's been very easy to keep clean, although we've ordered a second cushion set so that we can wash one and still have one to use. Overall a great investment!"

Best Highchair

"Love it! We do not have a great place to store a high chair, so we wanted something that was sleek looking and blended in with our decor. This was perfect. The fact that it grows with your child is great too!"

Form over function
Date - August 3, 2009
"We have had the Svan for a little over two years now.
If you want a wooden high chair that comes in a variety of finishes, is adjustable and discrete and looks cool, this is the chair for you. If you want a high chair that is EASILY adjusted, EASY to clean, budget friendly and has a large tray, this is NOT the chair for you.
When I was initially shopping for a high chair, I wanted something that was inconspicuous and small since we have a very small kitchen eating area. In those two regards, I definitely got my wish with the Svan. It is small and definitely discrete and matches the decor in our kitchen perfectly.
That being said, I sometimes think this chair is TOO small. The tray is TINY. Something that becomes an issue when you child is learning to feed themselves. In order to get traction with their fingers or with their utensil, most kids will push their food, bowl, plate around the tray until they can get a grip. If the tray is small, more food than necessary ends up on the floor and in their laps.
My other big complaint is the seat covers for this chair are not only $40 extra, they are cloth with a scotch guard type of coating instead of being made of a more durable and wipe-friendly vinyl or plastic. All the little nubbies of the fabric attract food like a magnet (food that gets ground into the texture and does not wipe off) and although you can toss the cover in the washing machine, it does NOT hold up well with repeated washes. So the chair cover is constantly filthy and if you wash it with any amount of frequency, you are stuck with needing to purchase replacement chair at a price that could get you a decent booster seat.
Another complaint is that, although this chair is very adjustable, it takes an allen wrench to make most any adjustment. That's right...an allen wrench!! So, once you receive and assemble your highchair, don't toss your 'svan key' away! Ours lives in our junk drawer for the frequent adjustments we need to make with a growing child. What a pain!!
Also, because of the afore mentioned adjustment mechanisms there are at least a dozen nooks and crannies for food to get in. Every bolt head for the allen wrench is basically a well waiting to filled with food crumbs, and there are all these crevices and cracks where the different pieces come together that stuff gets wedged in. I literally have to take the chair completely apart to get all the food cleaned out. A time consuming, labor intensive process that is such a pain and leaves me cursing the stupid chair every time I have to do it.
All-in-all, I have a love/hate relationship with this chair. I get compliments on how it looks, but that's where the love ends. I wish I could say I made a wise purchase here, but I did not. When faced with the high chair purchase for our second child, we purchased a plastic booster seat that has a removable tray and have been thrilled.
For all you parents that have yet to make your highchair purchase, function is so much more important than form...invest in that, not this chair!!"

Great Highchair
Date - December 1, 2008
"I researched which highchair to buy for my daughter extensively and decided to purchase the Svan. I am extremely happy with my purchase. The highchair is easy to put together, looks great with my other furniture and my daughter fits in it perfectly. It is very adjustable, which makes finding the perfect fit easy."

Date - October 24, 2008
"I love this high chair! I purchased this one since I hate the look of most high chairs. I have it in our dinning room since there is no room in the kitchen and it blends right in even with the green cushion. It looks like a piece of regular furniture instead of a high chair. I love how my child can grow with it instead of outgrowing it in a very short time period."

Little one loves it and it looks great.
Date - July 1, 2008
"We have the Svan high chair in Natural with the green cushion. After the stroller, the high chair was one of the things I really researched. There were a couple that made my shortlist - this and the Tripp Trapp. Both are very adjustable, provide leg/foot support so no dangling legs, are well constructed and designed with safety, form and function in mind. In the end I liked the industrial design of the Svan and the included tray. It looks great and works well. This is a great product that I would buy again."

Stylish and functional
Date - May 6, 2008
"We are so happy with this purchase. The chair "disappears" into our dining room because of the wood design and small scale. It is also extremely adjustable--and well made because it takes to my son's bouncing in it. The cushion is washable but I've found that a damp cloth can spot clean it very easily without having to take it off for a full washing. I would definitely buy it again."

Fairly high chair marks...
Date - May 6, 2008
"The design of the Svan is wonderful and a huge improvement over the loud, plastic alternatives. I worry that the finish will not withstand use by a second child with the washings required to keep it free from sticky finger foods. When the pad is removed for washing, cleaning becomes a huge chore since food gets into the indentation in the seat (near the strap)."

Great Purchase
Date - April 15, 2008
"After a lot of comparison shopping, we purchased the Svan. We're thrilled with it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a functional and cool-looking high chair.
Clean-up is easy and our daughter loves how she can "stand" on the footrest below the seat. Visitors never fail to comment on our groovy looking chair, which is a nice bonus.
Incidentally, my husband's twin brother picked out the same chair for their new baby, albeit in a different color. Obviously the chair spoke to both of them. ;-)"

Best Highchair Out There
Date - April 14, 2008
"I can't say enough about the Svan highchair, I think it's the best piece of baby gear we own. It's small and low-profile when space is limited. It's lightweight and easy to move around, even with my 1-year old IN it! The cushion is removable and machine-washable, and the plastic tray easily snaps off for washing. We've received endless compliments on it from visitors, even people who don't have kids! It's truly a piece of furniture, possibly even art, instead of a big plastic eyesore. Worth the money!"

Stylish Alternative to Plastic High Chairs
Date - April 12, 2008
"I bought this because I wanted our dining room to remain a comfortable and warm place for entertaining friends and having adult conversations. Some how, a plastic high chair with monkeys and giraffes wasn't going to cut it. This chair is stylish and functional and I expect it to be a part of our dining experiences for years to come. My favorite part is that, with the selection of wood finishes and cushion fabrics, I was able to match it to our existing dining room chairs."

Beautiful high chair
Date - April 10, 2008
"I find the svan to be very attractive and it withstood two babies. That said, I do not use it for my preschoolers as I thought i would and the tray would not last a third child (though I think they've solved this problem with the plastic attachable tray). The padding was nice for younger babies but not necessary for toddlers."

Nice looking high chair
Date - April 10, 2008
"This chair fits better with my decor than those huge plastic chairs. It's also easy to clean. The cushion comes off and can go right in the laundry. My daughter has fit well and seemed comfortable from 7 mos until now at 19 mos. We intend to use it as a toddler chair, too. Sometimes the bolts come loose, but that is my only complaint."

Best Baby Purchase!!
Date - April 10, 2008
"I LOVE THIS CHAIR!!! It is safe, secure, and attractive. Nearly every person who comes over compliments the high chair. It is easy to clean, comfy for my baby (he has been able to sit in it since 4 months old), and very durable. I also love the options for getting more cushions in various colors for later on to use with other babies. This is, by far, my favorite baby purchase."
