It was a bit clunky to put the back rest together, but the rest of the setup was great! I only marked it a 4 out of 5 stars because it takes a lot of effort to make the chair recline. Maybe this is a safety feature. I am not sure, but it gets this rating because my toddler cannot sit back in it without help. Other than that, my toddler loves it! The material is top notch, the pockets are great for holding books and the cup holders , small toys, but I think the best part are the memories we are making with our little one as he climbs into the chair for reading time. I would definitely recommend it!
