I have used it on a wooden chair (without a blanket) for 2 years and it is fine.

Hi! We just folded a thin receiving blanket under it to keep it from scratching the wood.

Inside my porch I put an oval wrought iron table with four chairs on the diagonal. Then against the two opposite walls I have a wicker loveseat with wicker table by its side. In one corner a wicker chair on the diagonal with a wicker table at its side and on a diagonal in the remaining corner a two person glider with another table next to it. We have plenty of room to walk and to pull out patio table chairs etc. I;m sure it will fit what you are thinking about. I was surprised at how much furniture I was able to comfortably get inside it. We also put down an 8x12 outdoor rug inside for the furniture to sit on. Its very roomy and we still think it was a great purchase.

Hello Samantha, I purchased this chair for my daughter. She hasn't had any problems. Im sorry I can't assist.

Not at all. I absolutely love this chair. It is by far my favorite purchase for my baby boy and I did SO much research and thought about it because of the tray too! Trust me you will love it. It's super easy to clean, use and to roll around. I roll him to the bathroom, take the tray out and wash his hands over the sink after each meal. I have hardwood floors and it does not damage them.

I've had the table since around September 2012, and we love it. We use it all day as a desk for homeschooling, and then in the evenings we move it, extend it, and use it for dinner. It has one scratch on it, that I did when I was building a computer on it and drug the sharp metal corner of the case across it :-( It does take two people to extend and put the leaves in, but we positively LOVE this table. The home we own has a 35 foot long kitchen, so we had a huge table, but recently moved (military) to a MUCH smaller house that doesn't have room for a table set up all the time. This table has been fantastic so far. My only complaint would be that you have to pay close attention when sliding it together (while putting in or taking out a leaf) because it's easy to shift it so the pegs on one side don't line up with the holes on the other. We have also noticed the legs will occasionally loosen, so we keep an eye on them and tighten as needed. Anyway, having only had it less than 6 months, I can't really comment on the long term durability of the finish, but it seems to be pretty good, and I would definitely buy this table again! (I do not have the matching chairs, so I can't answer your question about those, sorry.)

It pulled up in front right corner from fabric but it still together, just have to have something over it so not digging into right leg. The string that holds together the outer covering for chair broke almost immediately. Otherwise I bought 2 chairs which both had identical problems. I used for camping for 10 days straight. The second chair didn't pull up on right front corner til last day. They were both very comfortable though. The other chairs that I bought that were comparable broke completely within 2 mins of sitting in them, so I would recommend this chair even with the problems mentioned.

I bought this chair as a gift for my granddaughter when she was expecting. Unfortunately I can't answer your question. However, I would advise you not to purchase this chair. We thought it was great at first but it has already fallen apart and her baby is only 5 months old. They have tried adding more screws, glue, etc. but it's is a disaster. It also is impossible to clean the material.....stains everywhere. Good luck in finding something else!

We live in California where we also have hot days and dew at night in the fall and winter. We have only had the chairs for 2 months May - July and so far, so good. We do plan to cover them during the winter and we plan to apply tung oil each season to help preserve the wood. I can't comment on what humidity does to wood since I have no experience with it.

We actually have 4 of these chairs on an exotic Brazilian wood floor with no issues. The bottoms have a rubber ring around it that they rest on. I would recommend if you buy them to periodically lift them up and see if the rubber is coming off like I do just to insure your floor. We've not had any issues with the rubber coming off so far. If you are anything like I am I'd rather toss a $50 chair then ruin a several thousand dollar floor. Hope this helps you.

I purchased this last summer and was also unsure of how it would hold up. I have mine placed in a 3 season room and it is exposed to the elements. It has been snowed on, rained on and had the wind blowing very hard on it. Not sure where you are but here in Michigan, it has been one rough winter with the polar vortex. I must say that I could not be happier with how it looks and functions. We started our spring cleaning and did not see any weather wear on the wood or on the top. It looks just like it did when we purchased it - brand new!! Fabulous piece of furniture!!! Definitely worth purchasing!! I purchased this last summer and was also unsure of how it would hold up.

The chair probably could be taken apart a few times before the wood would be overused and the screws might loosen. I have had this chair on my deck in New Mexico sun, and it has been a dream to use. I have a canvas cover for it and have noticed some fading on the wood that is constantly exposed. A good tung oil application will bring the chair back in the spring. Keep in mind we have 360 days of sun and I am at 5000 ft. It is a great buy for the price.

My grandson loved the chair but after sitting in it for prolonged periods it gave him back problems. May try a different chair. Hope this helps you to make your decision.

Mine is still PERFECT!!, and we live close to the ocean and have been using it since January!! I did put a clear coat of Rustoleum spray on it a couple months ago, but it didnt need it, just precautionary. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS FIRE TABLE

It will make some creaking sounds which are very normal. The only wood in this chair is the plywood on the bottom of the seat, you can check if that has cracked. I would classify a "wood breaking sound" as when wood splinters but not creaking sounds. If it really has made that sound then your bottom plate is broken. If it is intact then it is just normal creaking sounds made by the metal parts or the chair or the leather.

I use a wood floor cleaner on the chair and it cleans up nicely, although belt gets a little messy. My rambunctious toddler causes some minor wear and tear on the dark finish by banging on it with other toys but I no longer expect anything in this household to remain in pristine condition with two toddler boys about! Be sure to check and retighten the side bolts periodically. Otherwise the footrest can become loose and unsafe while your kid is climbing in and out, and the finish of the side edges of the footrest wears off because of the rubbing motion. I'm still satisfied with the chair overall. I use a wood floor cleaner on the chair and it cleans up nicely, although belt gets a little messy.

If you keep it clean underneath the arms, it shouldn't damage the table at all. We absolutely LOVED this chair!!! It was perfect in our small home since we didn't have room for a full high chair and would definitely buy another one if we needed to.

i bought it a while ago soon after my son turned 2. we use it at the kitchen table when making art projects. i still use his high chair when eating since he does not resist sitting it in still. i think if i sat him in the booster seat i would have a mess on my floor :-) my son sits very well in this seat - he is 2 1/2 years old, weighs 28 pounds, and (I'm not totally sure on his height) is a little short for his age. i feel that this booster seat will last at least 2 more years for him. fyi...i saw this exact seat at Walmart the other day for just over $10. You could probably go there and see if they have it in order to see it first-hand. i bought it a while ago soon after my son turned 2. we use it at the kitchen table when making art projects. i still use his high chair when eating since he does not resist sitting it in still. i think if i sat him in the booster seat i would have a mess on my floor :-) my son sits very well in this seat - he is 2 1/2 years old, weighs 28 pounds, and (I'm not totally sure on his height) is a little short for his age. i feel that this booster seat will last at least 2 more years for him. fyi...i saw this exact seat at Walmart the other day for just over $10.
