I'm looking to purchase a Tripp Trapp, probably new. Found one on Albee Baby for $150. Good price?

I will scout around town but not much. I'm not much for bargain hunting at thrift shops. Lol.

$150 for a new one sounds really good to me. We paid a lot for ours. Although that model's finish says it needs to be retreated every 6 months. Anyone heard of that before? With my kids, I need a well sealed finish.

P.S. Where I live they are hard to find used and could cost close to that much anyway.

They had an anniversary edition that had an oiled finish, not a stain so it did need to be redone. Maybe that's the one you're looking at?

Yep. :)

It is the anniversary edition.

So this is an oiled finish?

ETA: they have another one that's oiled so I don't think this is it. I may oil it myself anyway.

That's the one I saw too. Hopefully others can chime in who have actually had it. I'd be very interested to hear about how the finish holds up. We have the traditional finishes, with stain plus a good sealant on top I assume. Their regular seal seems good because they've held up great so far and it's been years and my kids are rough on wood that isn't sealed well. :rolleyes:

I hope you love it! For what it's worth, my oldest is 7 years old and she still loves hers, uses it everyday, and I expect will use it for years to come. I hope you get as much use out of yours!

I missed out on almost 2 years of use! I hope she uses it for a loooong time. :) sounds like she will.

It's here and put together. I definitely had to oil it and it comes with a oil tub to do so! Ha! It's vegetable based so it sorta stinks. It says not to use it for 2 days after oiling but we will be using tonight.
