Little Partners Foldable Toddler Tower, Learning Tower Explore 'N Store Montessori Standing Kitchen Tower with Folding Step Stool Platform for Cooking and Learning, Ages 2+ (Silver Drop)

Kinda a B to put together (took me about 2.5hours because of the horrible Allen wrench they gave and how small the spots were to use said Allen Wrench), but it’s great once put together. It is a little steep, and more narrow than I expected, but he navigates it fine, or I pick him up and put him in the top. The folding step is a joke, and shouldn’t even be a feature lol. But my favorite thing is that it slides under the counter and doesn’t hit our hardware on the cabinets! It also slides under the island bar and the feet neatly fit under the cabinet too. I did add different felt pieces on the bottom bc the ones they send are garbage. I did not use the feet stickers for grip and it’s fine for my 16m toddler. Update: after using this thing for about a month, it still is pretty good. HOWEVER, the white stains pretty easily. My son used watercolor paints and grabbed the side with his hand and now it’s stained. So get the black. And second, my 18m can rock this thing really easily, so I have to be very mindful when he’s in it. I have him at the lowest setting now, at his chest, and he can still rock it and have one side lift up completely. So just be aware for those more wild toddlers that you may want something heavier/wider.

We absolutely love the Little Partners Learning Tower! We had a different tower before, but it wasn’t adjustable and became uncomfortable quickly since our daughter is tall. This one adjusts easily and grows with her. It’s very sturdy, and she loves climbing in and out all the time. One great feature is that the step can be lifted up when not in use, so it doesn’t get in the way — really helpful in a busy kitchen. Yes, it’s a bit bulky, but it’s totally worth the space. A great way to encourage independence and keep your toddler engaged in everyday tasks!

We’ve had this product for a year and a half. And honestly it is very well made. One of the parts had a crack at the time of delivery and we reached out to customer service and a replacement was sent promptly at no cost to us. It is sturdy and easy to clean. The step is easy to adjust down for safety when our toddler is reaching the height limit. It has been of great value to our family. It helps our toddler reach the kitchen table to help prepare foods or to do arts and crafts. In summary: worth the price. Great product and great customer service.

This tower has been in use now for over 6 months. It is sturdy and provides a good amount of platform space for my toddler to stand without taking up too much floor space. Height is easily adjustable as toddler has grown. Some paint has started to chip off on the top. This tower is regularly wiped down without being hardcore scrubbed, so that is disappointing. There are some areas at the top that also have gaps between the wood pieces, food gets stuck in them and it is not easy to clean out. Overall, still very happy with this product for the price.

After much googling and review-reading, we got this stool and I’m so glad we did!! Absolutely recommend, would buy again. Also—some reviewers say the bottom step doesn’t fold up, but it does if you follow the directions. Here are 5 reasons I would buy this option again, over others: 1- price is comparable 2- the depth of the stool (how far it sticks out from the counter) is less than most other options that I saw. Most other stools seemed to be 22-24” deep, meaning it gets really tight or almost impossible for an adult to walk around it. This one is smaller, still plenty of room for a child but also you can still use your kitchen space. 3- assembly was so easy. The package had clearly been checked by quality control, to include all the hardware. Instructions were very clear and it took me ~30 min to put together. 4- Solid wood, very sturdy. But not too heavy to move. As I said above, the bottom step does fold up so you can make it even less obtrusive. 5- important for me but maybe not for everyone: the company is eco-conscious. They only use wood from sustainably sources forests (v. important), and also plant 2 trees for each 1 used (less valuable but still good in my mind). Tl;dr this is a great purchase and I highly recommend.

I'm really happy with this purchase. I don't often write reviews, but this is such a great little step stool. It's undoubtedly even easier to assemble with two people, but I found it remarkably easy to do by myself. All the pieces were well labeled. All the predrilled holes were exactly right. It was even smaller than I imagined (I did not pay much attention to the dimensions when ordering) but it's just right for my toddler who (without the optional back piece) can climb up an down easily by herself to wash her hands at the kitchen sink. It's small enough and light enough to scoot out of the way in our small kitchen. I wish I had purchased this long ago. Four years later, I still have this. It’s been great. I just moved it to the lowest setting for my now 7-yr-old. The only drawback is the finish is very susceptible to water damage. Which is pretty inevitable with kids in the kitchen. I still love it, though.

Great for toddlers

This was the best purchase of 2023. We live in 650 square feet and this fit perfectly under our bar countertop. My toddler now uses it daily and it's so great to not have to pick her up and down up and down to get in and out of the high chair. Now she climbs up to get her own water bottle and or/snack/lunch when it's ready for her. She can help me with meal prep and cooking tasks. We set out art and playdough at the counter. I'm so glad we got this as it's empowered our daughter to be more independent which felt like the next progression of her development. It wipes down easily, was pretty easy to assemble, has nice smooth lines, beautiful light wood and smooth finish, isn't bulky, and doesn't take up a lot space. Highly recommend! We've been using it daily for 6 months now.

I absolutely love this kitchen helper! My daughter is just turned 2 and is small for her age, so the highest setting is perfect for her up at the counter. Assembly was easy and I love that the step folds in so that it takes up less room (I don't lock the step and it's totally fine), although I'd say this is one of the smallest ones I've seen. Doesn't take up too much room in the kitchen and is solidly made.

Étant un peu bricoleur au niveau du travail du bois, j’ai apprécié la qualité de la conception et de la réalisation. Les bords sont tous arrondis, essentiel pour les petites mains. La stabilité de l’ensemble est bien pensée. Le montage est très clair, les pièces sont mêmes identifiées avec un petit code sur les pièces, qu’on retrouve sur le plan de montage (IKEA pourrait s’en inspirer). Je trouve qu’on en a pour son argent, je recommande ce produit.

El producto consta de una madera de calidad y el montaje es bastante simple. Una vez montado, es muy seguro. Prácticamente imposible que vuelque al desplazarlo e imposible cuando el niño esta encima aprendiendo a cocinar o simplemente observando que estamos preparando. Un poco caro pero vale la pena. Lo recomiendo.

La nostra bambina di 2 anni sale e scende che è una meraviglia. Trovo la torretta veramente utile quando spesso in cucina vuole venire in braccio la metto lí e gioca con i travasi e quant'altro. Ottimo materiale e compattezza . L'unica cosa aggiungerei una sbarra nella parte che va davanti a contatto con i pensili perché noi ad esempio la utilizziamo su una penisola e quindi all'inizio non era del tutto sicura da lasciare che la bimba la usasse sola . Inconveniente che con qualche giorno di pratica è stato superato. Altro piccolo inceppo.abbiamo dovuto ordinare due volte poiché la prima volta il pacco non partiva ma Amazon ci ha subito rimborsato ed invitato a ritentare l'ordine. Per il resto ottima

Love it. Looks like it will last. Easy to accidentally scratch the step with the screws that secure it while down. Somewhere it says “quick release” referring to the screws on the step. Not sure what that’s meant to be referring to but it seems to be manual release and not that quick
