Is the Stokke Tripp Trapp worth the high price?

Specialist communities are split. High-trust threads on r/beyondthebump and r/moderatelygranolamoms call it durable, beautiful, and able to last an entire childhood with strong resale value, which many feel justifies the cost. But retailer reviewers note the seat opening can feel narrow and awkward for getting a baby in and out, and the newborn set, tray, and cushion are sold separately, pushing the total higher.
