Has anyone speak to how this works as a homework chair for an older child? I would like to buy one for my first grader.

I think this chair would work wonderfully as a homework chair! We love the Tripp Trapp chairs and have purchased one for each of our four children. That was not our original intention, but since you can adjust the chairs, as the kids have grown (our oldest is 8/3rd grade and still uses it), the chairs have been able to grow with them. Definitely recommend!

I think it would be great. Its completely adjustable and can hold at least an average sized adult.

Yes. I got it for my daughter, who is a very tall 2 year old. It works perfect for her. Her 10 year old sibling is able to sit on the chair as well, but of course is too tall, but the chair holds their weight just fine. It has had moderate use for over a year with no problems.

depends on the size of the child--I have seen some 5th graders that are too heavy for the chair!

I wouldn't recommend this as a chair for anyone over the age of about eight to sit in or ten to play with. Sorry!

It is comfortable, although at times you can feel the bars underneath it. There is a zipper I believe on the underside that you could insert stuffing or padding into. Also, as a side note, (maybe this is just me), but the screws don't go the whole way through the chair to attach the sitting part to the legs. There is only one or two screws that go the whole way through, although they are all the same size. Personally, I use it to do homework in, but I am fine with being uncomfortable at times, and just go sit in another chair or take a break if it becomes to unbearable.

I use this chair in my classroom, but I would not buy it for my home. The seat is sinking and the wooden ring where I put my feet has really rubbed, and I've only had it since September '13. I expected this to be a much higher quality chair for the price I paid.

I wish I could be of more help in this matter. I bought the Trekker Chair for my 13-year-old grandson, a sturdy lad who does a lot of hiking with his parents in the Pacific Northwest, and who finds the Chair both useful and comfortable. I would suggest going to a store that sells outdoor recreation items, and trying one on.

I bought it when my son was 14 months old. He is now 20 months and uses it daily still. I actually sit in it as well. It is a great chair.

I would say it depends on the size of the person. My daughter, whom we bought the desk for, is now 5'9" and a going into the 11th grade. We are looking into raising the legs up because it is too low for her and she has to slouch over it when she's writing. But it's a beautiful desk!

I would say it depends, as mentioned previously, the bottom and top are the same size and are directly under each other... so you couldn't scoot the chair underneath the desk portion. You would either have to put your feet on the bottom part or lean forward slightly... I am not a student anymore, but I would imagine that it would be a little uncomfortable for me for extended periods of time. Using it occasionally to write things down is ok, but I recommend it to be purely a computer desk, not a study desk. My $0.02.

I bought this from my granddaughter, who is 10, but it would work for adults. It is standard height and fits a full size desk chair; however, it will not allow for a desk chair with arms to slide all the way under the desk.

I got this chair for our 7 yr old grandson for Christmas. He hasn't sat in it yet, but I did. It was sturdy for me and I weigh 110lbs. You may have to help your child getting in and out of it and make sure that the legs are locked into place. If you do order this chair, I hope you will be happy with it, as I am, and I know our Grandson will love it. I hope I was helpful to you. Merry Christmas.

Depending on the size of the child, I think this step stool might not be a good "chair". Not roomy enough. Hope this is helpful.

Probably no, considering that my granddaughter is going to be 7 in August and she is (average) tall, probably she will be using it for another year. Google Step2 and you will find some pictures of kids around the desk. This will give you a better idea.Hope this comment is useful for you.Raul

I purchased a similar chair made by MAC Sports. The plastic elbow joint broke. My son is way under the weight limit and uses it to sit and play video games in his room so it was not used in horseplay. I contacted the company and they sent out a brand new chair. I suggest contacting the company who makes the chair in question. You may need to take pics of the broken parts and send them in but you would be surprised how great some companies are. Good Luck!

It would likely depend on the height and weight of the child comparing with the recommendations of the manufacturer. There may be more versatile high chairs or booster chairs available for an older child. We did not look as our little boy is less than one year old and on the smaller side. Good luck~!
