Kitchen Step Stool for Toddlers with Non-Slip Mat, WOOD CITY Wooden Kids Montessori Learning Stool Tower, Toddler Standing Tower Helper for Kitchen Counter and Bathroom Sink(White)

I bought this tower stand during a Black Friday discount, so got a good price on it (though close to that price is still being offered today). The stand is well made, with the wood well sanded and finished -- no splinters or any problems like that. The sides and bracing are 1/2" plywood, while the step and main standing area are 5/8". I've also seen a similar tower stand with 3/4" plywood, but the 1/2" and 5/8" in this one seems plenty sturdy and rigid, and it is noticeably lighter and easier to maneuver than the one with 3/4" plywood.I did encounter an initial quality problem -- two of the four built-in barrel nuts in the main standing piece were somehow malformed and would not hold the screws. I contacted the vendor's support via email, and they got back within a couple hours and arranged to ship a new unit to me. So great service to correct the problem.This tower stand is for my grandsons to use, and in the ~6 weeks I've had it, it has been used it several times, and we're all very happy with it. I've given it an overall 5-star rating because it's a good product at a good price, and the vendor handled the initial quality problem expeditiously.

Amazing purchase. Well constructed and a good value. Shipping was fast. My toddler loves it. Helps with dishes and meal prep as well as it is Joe their favorite way to eat at the dinner table. Great purchase. Would purchase again.

I have a 1 and a half year old and she absolutely loves being able to see and help in the kitchen.Easy assembly, just takes a bit of patience.I deducted a star for the slip resistance little pads they give , one of them doesn’t stick too well.Sturdiness is okay. Good value for the money.

Bought for when grandson age 17 month, is here. He likes to help with food preparation (stirring pancake mix. haha). This will be so much easier than putting him on the counter. And we can use in bathroom to brush teeth (the vanity is high).I put together and seems stable enough for him to stand on without falling. It’s lightweight so easy to move around.One thing. Don’t over screw in screws. I did and got a small split. But I fixed (to my satisfaction) and I’m not going to worry about it. I live in a small apartment but can put away in my storage unit or corner or closet.

Easy to assemble in 15 minutes and it's worth the money to give my little one mobility in the kitchen to be a prep chef. Weve had ours for about a year and a half and its held up! This doesn't fold, so storing it has been a tricky situation, but it looks great and slides easily under a high top table.

The media could not be loaded. Honestly I am so sad to report such bad news but this kitchen helper is poor quality! My granddaughter uses this everyday and it’s so wobbly. It’s already falling apart so the safety of it is acutely garbage. My granddaughters weight is only 28 lbs but the functionality of it is perfect for what it’s for. Just poor, poor quality!

Pros:• Quick and easy assembly• Lightweight and easy to move around the kitchen for use in different spots• Nice compact size - looks cute and doesn’t take up too much space in my kitchen, and is good for a younger toddler to use with minimized risk of falling out/falling over (the extra rod helps with keeping him contained, although naturally he’s developed an urge to step up on it to try to climb higher - but this would happen with any similarly designed stool)Cons:• As mentioned above, assembly is very simple and straightforward. However, even when assembled properly, mine rocks slightly because the four feet aren’t evenly in contact with the floor. Not super stable for a small child who’s still perfecting his balance.• The adhesive on the “non slip” pads for the feet is worthless- the pads end up shifting or falling off and getting covered with crud so they can’t be reapplied.• It would be helpful if there were some sort of treads on the platform and step, to provide traction for little feet. Can be very slippery for little ones.• Biggest complaint is the quality of the paint/finish. We’ve had it for maybe a month and used it under normal circumstances, and I can no longer let my kid stand on the platform barefoot because the white paint will just flake off and stick to the bottoms of his feet. It’s also incredibly difficult to clean because stuff just gloms on to the finish and doesn’t wipe off easily.Ultimately, I wish I had just spent a little more for a wood stool that was higher quality with a better finish, OR gone with a (less aesthetically pleasing) plastic option. I wish I could return it, but unfortunately I can’t because I didn’t hold on to the manufacturer’s packaging after assembling it since I didn’t think I’d need it.

This allows my toddler to participate in the kitchen with me while staying safe it is super sturdy and looks better than the plastic ones in the kitchen in my opinion. Super helpful.
