Review: Pali Pappy high chair

When I first saw the Pali Pappy high chair, I didn't have a strong opinion one way or the other.  It's solid wood, made in Italy, and highly adjustable (I think the max weight is something ridiculous like 300lbs) but it costs over $300cdn, doesn't come with a tray (??) and some of the colours are well... a bit eye searing.  I also think the teddy bear cut out is ugly.

We've got it on loan while we wait for the one we ordered, and we've had it for almost six months.  (long story.)

My opinion?  Overpriced.

All the good points I mentioned above are still true, but here's the thing that's the dealbreaker for me:  over time, the hex bolts holding it together gradually loosen.  In fact, if not tightened regularly, the whole thing WILL just come apart.  And I know it's not just mine because the floor model at the store is doing the same thing.

Bottom line, I'm glad it's a loaner because if I'd paid over $300 for it, I'd be pretty unhappy.  I wonder if that's why they've taken it off their website?
