Anka Mini Furniture Review
The Anka table and chairs set is made of genuine birch wood so it's really sturdy. It has three children's chairs and one open-backed stool, which supports the weight of an adult (the seats, stool, and table hold up to 250 pounds each)! The adult stool is a fabulous feature because it allows me to sit at the table with my son when he's putting together a puzzle or coloring. (But truth be told, he prefers to stand. The chairs are rarely used right now. Thank goodness they can be stacked one on top of another for easy storage!). As I watch my son race his Matchbox cars around the table legs, or my daughter color her first picture while gripping the edge of the table for support, I can't help but hope they'll have fond memories of their table and chairs when they grow older.

Ecofrugal Friday: How To Save $$$ on Baby Feeding Gear
Also, the Anka high chair collapses for storage, blends in with the color of our dining room furniture, AND its made of sustainable wood with a nontoxic finish. Verdict: worth a few extra bucks. My baby never smelling like sour-milk-soaked high chair cushion is worth the price of admission for me on this one. View the full review here.

High Chairs: Folding or Furniture-Style? See the Best!
The compact, eco-friendly Svan Anka high chair brings sleekness to the table without taking up a large footprint. It's like a gorgeous piece of furniture for the kitchen! When the sweet potato puree doesn't quite make it into baby's mouth and lands on the BPA- and phthalate-free tray cover, it can be easily wiped down. Why we love it: Cheap price; sleek, modern design; easy assembly; lightweight; stain-resistant; BPA- and phthalate-free tray; PBDE-free seat cushion. What we wish it had: Easy-to-remove tray; a non-chip finish. Great for: Parents with children 6- months to 5-years-old who want to save space (and money!) with a modern, eco-friendly chair.

Labor of Love Baby Shower- Anka Highchair Giveaway!
I was thrilled to receive a beautiful Anka highchair. The highchair I had, had seen it's day through both kids. I loved the wood grain of the highchair. It was easily assembled and it folds super quick for a quick hide when company is over. My daughter Emma loves sitting in it-- I think even more so than the old one. I am not sure why, but it could be she is sitting a bit higher. View the full review here .

Anka Mini Furniture Review
We set the furniture up in the corner of our dining room, where the old table previously was. It looks so nice there, doesn't it? When the boys first saw it, the were very excited and sat right down. All 3 of them fit nicely at this table and there is plenty of room for a 4th child or an adult. On its first day in our house, the Anka Mini Furniture got put to the test when the twins speech therapist came for their weekly session. The adult stool worked fantastic for this as she was able to have the boys sit at the table and then she sat on the stool and worked right there with them. It definitely made it easier for her. And yes, this large pregnant mama is even able to sit on the stool if needed. View the full review here .

Christmas List Review: Anka Highchair
I was thrilled with how the chair arrived at my house. You know that when you get a piece of furniture in the mail you are going to be putting it together forever. The chair arrived almost assembled. From start to finish it took me 15 minutes to finish putting it together. I had to put the bottom pieces on and the cushion and the tray. Talk about easy and every mother needs something easy in her life! I was quickly impressed with the Anka High Chair. I have broken this review down into 3 categories. Price, Safety and Style.

Anka from Svan: Affordable high chairs that don't scrimp on style
We've always loved modern high chairs but they tend to be on the squint-your-eyes- as-you-hand-your-credit-card-over side of things. Even so, the cheap plastic versions aren't a very appealing alternative when you consider the damage to the planet-- and your home decor. (Sorry, but it's true. Some of those things are heinous!)

Svan's Latest - The Anka High Chair
Man, doesn't it seem like they always come out with the good products once you're beyond a stage? I shouldn't complain too much, we've been very happy with our Svan High Chair for my toddler.
And now Svan is selling another great high chair - the Anka. It has the same sleek, modern design that the original Svan chair has.
Other points to love about this chair:
The seat is machine washable - EASY machine washable (not one of these high chair covers it takes you a year to take off and then get back on)
The tray is dishwasher safe. (And the plastic cover is Phthalate-Free and BPA Free)
This high chair converts to a booster for your toddler
It's lighweight
It folds up for storage and for easy transport
It comes in several wood stains so you can choose one to match your kitchen - honey, espresso, natural. (You can pick your cushion color too.)
The price point on the Anka is a little easier on the wallet than the Svan Chair - $179.95 retail for the Anka; $259 for the Svan Chair. (The reason being that the Anka is for babies and toddlers, the Svan goes from infant up to adult; it converts.)

Our Newest Piece of Furniture
Like choosing a crib, picking out a highchair was a big decision. We considered skipping it entirely and just doing some kind of booster seat thing, until I started looking around and my design-lust kicked in. After much debate, we opted for the brand new Anka chair from Svan of Sweden. I knew we wanted a wooden chair, rather than a big ol plastic one. First, we looked at the original Svan but I didnt love the round base. Then we oggled the Tripp Trapp but we wanted something with a tray (at least right now). Then, lo and behold, Svan introduced the Anka, which fit all of our needs. Its wooden but comes with an easy-to-wash tray and cushion. Its compact and can fold when not in use. And, its more affordable than other options ($180).
