This toddler kitchen stool has been a fantastic addition to our home! It's revolutionized how my son and I interact during meal prep and cooking times.

Key features we love:

1. Height: Perfect for allowing my toddler to see and participate in kitchen activities at counter level.

2. Safety: The removable safety bar at the back is an excellent feature. It provides extra security when my son is climbing in and out, but can be taken off as he becomes more steady.

3. Easy Assembly: Setting up the stool was a breeze, which is always appreciated with a curious toddler around!

4. Sturdy Construction: The stool feels solid and stable, giving me peace of mind while my little one is using it.

5. Engagement: This stool has dramatically changed our daily routine. My son now feels included in kitchen activities, which he clearly enjoys. It's wonderful to see his excitement as he watches and "helps" at my level.

6. Versatility: While we primarily use it in the kitchen, it's easy to move around for other activities too.

7. Learning Opportunity: It's become a great tool for teaching about food, cooking, and kitchen safety.

The impact on our day-to-day life has been significant. My son is more engaged, learns new things, and I can keep an eye on him while getting things done in the kitchen. It's fostered a sense of independence in him and has made cooking time a bonding experience for us.

Overall, this toddler stool is an excellent investment for any parent looking to safely include their little one in kitchen activities. It's well-designed, practical, and has genuinely enhanced our daily interactions. Highly recommended!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This step stool has been such a great addition to our kitchen! It’s very sturdy and stable, and my toddler loves using it to help with cooking or washing hands. The height is perfect, and the safety rails make me feel confident that my child won’t fall. Assembly was easy, and the wood looks nice and smooth. Highly recommend for families with curious little ones!

Amazing quality and super easy to put together!!

I purchased this item on Prime day, was excited as our toddler (now 17mo) was always trying to help in the kitchen and I would sit him on the counter to help mix eggs, etc.; this seemed perfect. I started putting it together and quickly realized that while it had the right number of parts, I had 3 of one part and 1 of another (when it should have been 2 and 2). Customer Service was great, contacted them a few times and they were very prompt. The issue was that even though they sent the part out right away, it was coming from China, and with shipping lanes being in utter shambles, it took weeks and weeks to get here. It's not like the parts are sitting in a local Amazon center; I was very close to just buying a new one at full cost.

Now that the parts are here, and assembled, it's great. (Only needed to re-drill 1 pilot hole)

The base is slightly wider than the standing platform, which helps with stability which is good since it is narrow. Its light weight and not rickety, but in no way an heirloom piece. (Basically its good enough). Also light enough our toddler can push it around dispite the adhesive rubber feet (a pro and con) and he loves the thing so he runs to grab it himself when he wants to help in the kitchen.

It just fits under our counter which makes it easy to store when not in use, which made my wife like it so much more than when she first saw it. It's not adjusable but a good height and it really is what I wanted and expected. Mom, Dad, and toddler approved.

***update***

Seller offered me $30 to change my negative review to a positive one in email. $30, for a product that cost me twice that, that is laying in a heap in my basement because it is so poorly made I am struggling to even fix and make it safely usable - OH! And I renovate homes for a living - so handy with tools and woodworking. The piece is still terrible and that email offer took me from annoyed over the piece to annoyed with the seller who is trying to cover it up!

This is hands down the most poorly designed piece of furniture in my house. I piece together everything I own and have had zero issues. I assembled this in about 30 minutes, fully understanding and following the instructions. But the quality is incredibly poor. It’s going to become firewood. The nails aren’t long enough in some spaces to reach across and safely screw pieces together. In other spaces the holes are not there or in the wrong place. The steps are offset by almost an inch because of poor hole placement! I’m really livid that this is the product I got for the amount of money I spent!

My toddler seems to love the step stool although I cannot figure out the safety bar insert for the life of me. I see the instructions show it being put in at the end but I can’t get it to fit in. I scratched the side trying to get it in so I have no idea how it’s supposed to be able to be put in & removed every time when I can’t even get it in once.

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 is a very sturdy and safe toddler stool that both my girls love! We have had this since for before Christmas. It is May now and it has been used more times than I can count! My toddler loves pushing it around too and it is still great so the quality is excellent! You can see that they both fit on it so it’s pretty good size in width and it is very easy to clean and to move around. I really like how easy it is for them to climb in and out of it too, I don’t have to help them as they are able to just go under the safety piece and step up the step as it’s made to do which is very comforting for me to know. I definitely recommend this one!

Followed the instructions given and was unable to continue beyond the 2nd step as the screw holes are not aligned and I am unable to screw it in. I tried to force the screws in and it part of the wooden panel chipped off..

Worse than an Ikea furniture. Tried contacting the seller but was given an automatic email saying that the seller inbox is full.

We used that for 1 week and the bottom leg started breaking and the anti-slipping stickers was falling apart even though we barely move the tower anywhere.
