After much researching on simple, not too high priced high chairs, I decided on this one. It came quickly and when removed from the box no assembly was required. Aside from removing the wrapping and cutting one zip tie, it was ready to use. We unfolded it, inspected it, made sure the tray went on easily and thought, wow, that was so easy. I really like the fact that the tray swings out to the side. It swings out far enough to easily put my grandson in and buckle him up. We adjusted the shoulder straps to fit on him comfortably, yet, hold him in place. He is quite the wiggle worm. The removable tray is a great feature, especially for messy meals. Just pop it off and you have less the mess. I have found the high chair is easy to clean. There are nooks and crannies in the padded seat, but, it's not as difficult to clean as some of the other reviews I have read. So, I purchased a wet/dry cordless hand vac to do this job. We can't expect everything to be easy peazy. I think we are going to be very satisfied with the Joovy Nook High Chair, oh, and it will be very easy to transport when need be.It is now two weeks later and I wanted to add to my review. My Grandson has quickly figured out how to push the buttons on the side of the arms of the high chair and can move the tray back and forth. Not a good feature, (hence, the 4 stars). Food can get stuck in the button holes and makes it a little difficult to clean. A small toothbrush helps pretty good at cleaning out the buttons.I do use a small handheld portable vacuum to clean him and the chair. He likes being tickled by the vacuum. And, less mess on the floor, All in all I am liking this chair. The swing out feature of the tray is awesome and the pop off top tray makes cleanup much easier. It's easy to clean, store and transport.With all that being said, I must say I am disappointed that there was not a detailed instruction booklet that came with it, on how to remove the padded seat for laundering. I had to You Tube the instructions on how to remove the padded seat. Although there are 11 points of disengagement, it shouldn't be difficult. So, if you purchase this high chair, You Tube it to get the instructions.. Thus, 4 points instead of 5.Update: one year later. Thus chair has held up so well, I had to a follow up. Still looks like a new chair, except for a grape juice stain I couldn't get out. No cracks, chips, ot tears in the leatherette. This is by far the best investment for the money. All the buckles and hooks are still 100% in good shape. Still easy to take apart and clean. And yes I still use a small hand vac for the loose crumbs. Great clean up tool. Someone said in a review and also posted a picture with it that the side rails would get caked with food and they couldn't clean it. Solution to that is, you remove the side rails and wash and dry them and place back on the high chair. 5 stars and thumbs up for this chair.
