Guidecraft Kitchen Helper® Toddler Tower Step Stool - Contemporary - White: Folding Adjustable Height Montessori Wooden Learning Furniture with Keepers

I'd buy this all over again in a minute. My grandchild, like most children, loves to watch and loves to help. This brings her right to the counter top or sink daily. She loves it and so do her parents. Nice quality, adjustable height, safely holds the tot. Great purchase and much more stable and safe than the step stool stylees of this product.

Purchased for my 16 month old who was extremely eager to help in the kitchen. It came 95% assembled I just had to add the anti tip feet. I love the mesh panels as it provides additional peace of mind. It folds down extremely compact and is also adjustable so I know we will be able to use for many years. Super sturdy. Very happy with purchase

We've had this tower for about 8 months and our 2.5 year old has used it almost every day since. I was worried that the white would be hard to keep clean but everything has come off, from pasta sauce, beets, and other colorful food, with either a water wipe or Clorox wipe. Still, I wish the netting came off so we could just toss it in the washing machine. Half of the accessible side of the netting and all of the inaccessible side is secured with hexagon shaped screws. I don't think you're supposed to unscrew them to wash.Very sturdy, I have not seen it wobble once. We usually leave it set up and open these days so she can get on and off herself to have access to our kitchen counter to eat, help prep meals/snacks, or just watch me cook/bake. This tower is designed with wide legs that stick out further than the platform so I would keep that in mind when figuring out where to place it. We have it against the end of our waterfall counter and the legs bump up against it leaving a gap between the tower and counter where food falls through onto the floor sometimes.Overall, I would highly recommend.

I ordered this to allow my 2 year old daughter the ability to watch my wife and I cook / prepare food.The item arrived when indicated by the seller. Unlike some of the other posts on here, my unit arrived in undamaged condition (as best I can tell).Assembly was quick, and not complicated. My main problem was with the legs have "feet" that you can attach for additional stability; notably there are no pre-drilled holes or slots in the legs to receive the screws from the feet, even though there are slots for the wooden pegs to attach. I found it astonishing that in this age of "Ikea pre-made" furniture where much less costly items are all pre cut and and drilled with holes to allow easy construction, the manufacturers of this item could not have added this feature at the cost of $0.50 or whatever, and instead require the buyer to have to screw into the wood feet.So instead of just needing a screw-driver, you'll either need to have a drill, or prepare for some serious torquing on the screwdriver, or just forgo the feet entirely. At the end, I left most of the feet off since the unit is stable enough by itself, and the feet actually get in the way during storage.Pros:* My daughter (34") absolutely loves her platform. it's tall, so she can now easily see onto the kitchen counters and watch us.* The platform appears stable and the railings and sides do a good job of keeping her where she can both help and still not get into too much trouble.* The white finish matches nicely with our kitchen. Not sure how it will hold up over time, but looks nice after 1 month of use.Neutral* The platform is decently constructed. I'm not concerned about it collapsing, but nor is it a marvel of structural engineering. It's adequate for a child. This includes the wood used and the hinges as well.* The value - it does its job, but if I was a little handier and/or had some more time, I would have attempted it myself. Sure my daughter loves it, but it's hard to justify a $100+ child-friendly step stool.Cons:* The aforementioned construction issue with the feet attaching to the legs.* Silly design of the "lock-down" bolt* Step up "cut out" could be better designed to allow for easier climbingOverall:A great concept, and decent execution will make this a hit with your 2-4 year olds. There might be better values out there, but if you need an easy-to-assemble package out of the box, this product can do it for you.

This kitchen helper is an absolute life saver on my nerves. My 18 month old is going through an annoying phase of whenever I’m in the kitchen he comes and hangs on me keeping me from doing anything. Since getting this stool he can now be in the kitchen with me and out of mischief. He is still too small to get into it on his own but it’s no problem putting him inside. He’s about 32 inches tall and can easily reach the counter and sink when using. It completely folds up easily when not needed and can be set up in an instant. It’s very sturdy and we feel safe when he’s inside. This is the best purchase I’ve made all year!

My family loves this toddler tower. I viewed many before purchasing this one, and chose it because of the mesh lining for the sides without wood slats. However, I was worried that the mesh would be flimsy and easy for my child to push through (intentionally or not) or unfasten. I am happy to say those fears were unfounded. The mesh is very tight and sturdy and there's little to no risk that my child could push through it. She is also unable to unfasten it herself due to the placement of the clips and the tightness of the mesh lining. The tower is sturdy, durable and just the right height, but is light-weight and easy to move around as needed. Folds easily (though you have to remember to unhook the safety latches). Really happy with this purchase and we are getting so much use out of it.

The Guidecraft Contemporary Kitchen Helper is a hit with my daughter! It's well-built, sturdy, and safe, which gives me peace of mind while she enjoys using it. The design is sleek and modern, fitting seamlessly into our kitchen. We couldn’t recommend it enough!

Came mostly assembled, which was a nice surprise. Very stable, and love that I can leave my son in it without worrying about him falling out. Don’t fold it to store (easier to have it open so I can put him right in when I need to) but love that I can, if I have to. Attached anti-scratch pads on the feet so I can drag it over without scratching the floor -it is a tad heavy!
