One of the greatest successes of the Aepe Chair is that it invites kids to interact.

Given enough assistance and instruction from mom and dad, kids can learn to take apart the Aepe Chair and rebuild it without too much trouble. When the playroom needs a tidy, the seat can be flattened and stashed against a wall or under a bed.
