Maybe it's just me, but I look at this thing and see a transformer-like monster waiting to eat my children's fingers.

I bought one of these from Woot last summer for my (then) five year old and he loves it. It is HIS chair, and no-one else can use it but him. It is also light weight enough for him to move it around if he wants to. The only problem with it is that the reclining part is extremely stiff. I have to recline it for him; it is too stiff for him to do it himself.

These are solid, well made chairs. I have one that still looks new after a couple of years of daily usage. Picked up another one a few months ago so don't really need another.
Yes there are cheaper chairs like this in the big box stores but they don't look or feel as solid and they either rock or recline - not both. Pay the extra and get one of these - a solid piece of furniture that will last for years.
Also I believe they're made in America.

I saw these last time they were on and debating but couldn't bring myself to get one for my daughter when BigLots has chairs similar (probably less quality) for $60.

I have also seen different styles and colors for similar prices. The extra quality of these chairs doesn't make me feel better knowing that my child will outgrow the chair anyway after a few years. She would probably actually prefer a bean bag or just sitting on the floor tbh.

I'd like this if my kid was a little bigger. Right note, he's just over a pound, and due in June. His mom and dad have matching ticket recliners, so it would be fun to have a tiny one too.

No real finger jamming parts in it, the reclining mechanism is stiff enough that my son has to get out of the chair to fold it up and his fingers aren't where they can be pinched when he folds it.

For me it made sense as I have 4 kids and they'll get handed down once the older ones are too big.

I actually see two kids involved in the finger-crushing nightmare in my head. ;)

lil' video demonstration

they're so cute I'm considering obtaining one as a pet/creepy conversation piece!

I have two hot chocolate ones for my 4 and 2 year olds and just bought a third for my 7 month old. The kids love these, they look so cute in the playroom and are easy to keep clean.... Like pp said, it's difficult for the kids to recline on their own, but they love the chairs. Super quality.... They will get many more years of enjoyment out of them I'm sure.

That could definitely be a possibility. My son is an only child, sometimes I forget about sibling rivalry.

I can't see my child using this for more than a few seconds. It doesn't matter how many chairs, couches, or bean bags there are, she ultimately ends up on the floor in some contorted position only a child can be comfortable with..

My feedback 2 cents to Woot- on, not just this item, but the woot-off in general.

Like so many things in this woot-off. I would be all over these if the price were a little lower.

For an "impulse buy" sale like a woot-off the prices need to be more condusive to "Impule buying".

Not that the prices in the woot-off haven't been fair- but they haven't been gotta-have 'ems.

I'm not a pricing/market analysis/profit maximizing expert so y'all probably know what you can sell things for better than me... but I think instead of buying no items this woot off- I would have bought 5 or 6 by now if prices were 20% less.

This will go great with my 4 year old son's iPad, his iPhone, his MacBook, and the money I'm putting away for him everyday to get him a car when he turns 16. I'm trying to be a great Dad by doing everything that he wants! Little kids are just so hard to please. In for three! (He'd hate me if I didn't get 3)

Got one of these last time around. It's real furniture, not a toy. Looks as good as my $400 La-Z-Boy. My 2 year old loves it.

I cannot get my 3 yr old son to sit on furniture for more than 3 mins. and I am ok with that. He has the rest of his adult life to sit and get fat.

We are trying to raise our kid to be an overweight, inactive couch potato. This would be a perfect item to train him on.

Being that the twin boys are not born yet...
and, though, the replies about these seem fantastic...I still would like to see the price a lil lower...

anyway, without em here yet...I will wait.

I wish Woot would sell nice adult-size recliners!

I really wish people would get over the idea that companies are your friends. Not true, they are there to sell you a product you want to buy, for a profit. It makes little sense for woot to take a smaller profit cut on items if the items will sell anyway at a higher price. If no one was buying this stuff then perhaps woot would be inclined to lower the price, but that's not the case, things sell out and we move on. Woot doesn't care that you were "there from the beginning" or that you named your daughter Screaming Monkey. As much as they try to foster some sort of "community" you can bet your bottom its all about the bottom line in the end.

Don't disagree one bit. However, if they read feedback that the reason their products are not selling is because of price- they may decide to maximize profits they need to drop price.

That is their decision.

Companies may not be "our friends" - but they have to sell to make money. It isn't that the products are undesired necessarily by the community to which they market- it is that the prices are too high.

A coorporation doesn't have to be "a friend" as you put it to have a need to listen to the consumer of their goods or services. In fact any coorporation that doesn't will eventually go out of business.

Our two year old loves hers. I find that when she's ready for her nap, she'll hop in, put on some Sesame Street or Clifford, and fall asleep.

These are extremely nice for little ones who look up to grampa' and want to kick back and watch the shows with him. Instant babysitter- just sayin'

That's just it though, in this case, which is what I believe we were discussing, your point is moot. Woot has X number of items to sell at whatever price they deem fit. Lets for arguments sake say they're selling wootwidgits for $10, and they have 100 of them. It really doesn't matter one bit if a customer says he would have paid $8 and bought 5 or 6 if all 100 sell out at $10. Only if the items dont sell for the price that they're asking is there any sort of thought of how to better maximize the profits. As it is, as long as people will keep paying whatever woot asks, the profits already done be maximized.

As for the bit about listening to the customer base, they have. The customers have said that while you may feel the item is only worth $8, they will gladly pay $10 for it. Money speaks much louder than whining, especially when greater profits are involved.

My son absolutely loves the black fake leather chair! Quality so good it feels and looks like real leather and matches my couches perfectly! I love that it's just big enough to last till he's 10 and small enough that it's his special chair! He sits on it like it's his throne which is exactly what I bought it for in hopes to be used as! Well done in picking this as a product to push! I am very impressed and satisfied! Wo0t!
