My 18 month old daughter fits in it perfectly and *loves* having a chair that is just her size. She likes to get in and out of it over and over again...leaning back and looking proud "yep, this is my chair!". Very sturdy and high quality...I can comfortably fit in it too (although I am only 5'2") so I think she will gets years of use out of it. This chair and ottoman looks classy enough for the living room and we love that the styling matches our living room so well, pretty much a mini version of Dad's chair. We haven't had it long enough to comment on the durability but it certainly is stain and water resistant and has suffered no damage from our boisterous dog trying to use it as a launching pad/ So far so good!
