Former hotel executive Jason Fein, now 43, bought Guidecraft in 1991 from his father, a woodworker who made educational toys. Fein added tot-sized furniture to the catalog, tripling the number of products of Guidecraft, based in Englewood, N.J. Designed for preschoolers, this new chair is hand-carved, hand-painted, and just 23 inches tall.
