Guidecraft Contemporary Kitchen Helper® Stool and 2 Keepers - Gray: Folding, Adjustable Height, Wooden Cooking Step Stool for Toddlers | Little Kids Montessori Learning Furniture

This toddler tower not only looks beautiful in our kitchen, but it is also functional and well crafted. We like how stable it is and how much independence it allows our toddler (14 months old). He is so much happier being in this and eating at the counter than he is in the high chair. When I was shopping for a toddler tower, one thing that was very important to me was safety. Because our child is on the younger side, I wanted enclosed sides and not a simple step stool type of tower. We feel safe and comfortable with him in this toddler tower.We also like how it also allows him to be “involved”, or at least feel involved and included, during meal prep. We have also found it to be easy to clean and we appreciate that the mesh sides can be removed for cleaning.While we haven’t collapsed it for storage yet, I do like that that feature is available. Lastly, this toddler tower was easy and quick to assemble, which is extra appreciated when you have a little one.

This kitchen helper is very sturdy! It is pricey but I feel that my 18m old is safe in it. He jumps on it and pushes it all around the kitchen and never tips over. It is easy to move but a bit bulky. Only one side of the back supports is assessable to allow lo in but that’s fine.Package was very well packed with instructions and labeled hardware included (will need a screw driver to screw on the feet). Setup didn’t take too long, maybe about 15 minutes for one person. I didn’t need to adjust the height since my lo is just the right height atm. The platform has some grip so kiddo doesn’t slip. There are two clips—one on each side of the platform and one of them clicks in place and the other doesn’t. Per instructions, it is not meant to clip. One of the latches wasn’t latching but I loosened the screws a bit and voilà. Some of the feet didn’t align very well but I switched some around and that did the trick. I wish the predrilled holes were done better though. But all in all, great product. My baby loves it and I’m sure yours will too!

This is the most used baby item in my home. My girl and I both love it. I cant wait to bake with her in it!It is so easy to use and store while also being sturdy! Worth every penny!

My toddler granddaughter loves this. She can stand at the counter and help mama cook, do crafts and even have a snack and feel like a big girl. It’s extremely sturdy, easy to wipe clean, safe — the child can’t slip out, and it’s easy for the child to get in and out when the side is opened. The floor height is adjustable so this will be used for a long time.

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!

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.
