Almost perfect 😊
Pros:- I like the structure and design- I really like how easily it coverts from step stool to desk- assembly was a breeze. Took less than 45 minutes. No major tools required. A Phillips’s head screwdriver did the trick.- I like that my little guy can safely “help” me in the kitchen.- it doesn’t take up too much space.- easy to move- looks nice in my kitchen- the kids love it (even the 9 & 6 year olds)CONS:- Cheap hardware (the 4 latches). It works for now. It can easily be upgraded and replaced, which is not a big deal; however, I expect quality materials at the price I paid.- the paint job isn’t the greatest. Again, this too is an easy fix. Same as above, I expected better for the price paidOverall, I do recommend this item. I would have given it 5 stars If the seller spent a couple of bucks extra for heavier latches and an even paint job.

Dangerous product
Tower is very dangerous! The tower flipped over when my son leaned towards one side. Concerning but I was there to catch up. It is not sturdy. The edge was also so sharp it scraped my son and caused a huge cut.

Great idea, slightly overpriced
I wanted one of these countertop height stools for my toddler. When I saw this one that also converted into a desk I was sold, except I hesitated at the price. But when I stumbled across a coupon on Amazon for 20 bucks off I bought it. Even still it was well over a hundred.I purchased it in white. The paint finish isn't great. Very uneven and looks like it needs another sanding and coat of paint. Also, the latches that secure it are flimsy and one I couldn't get to line up just right so it won't actually close. For the price I expected a bit better, but the concept is good.Also note that the manual says this isn't for children under 3. My guy isn't quite 2 yet but can climb up and down on his own. With proper supervision, you should be fine.

A+++ customer service
When we received our product the predrilled hole for the safety bar was missing and two of the support pieces split. We reached out to the company and they had new pieces shipped to us asap in time for Christmas. They were very easy to work with and responsive.My 15 month old daughter LOVES being counter height and I love the smaller profile (and smaller price) of this piece versus many other learning towers. The fold to desk feature is also really nice. I feel that my daughter is secure and stable enough in this.One star was deducted for the following reasons: its very lightweight and she can push it away from the counter easily, could be a little more solidly constructed, quality control in receiving correct and solid pieces.

Great for children!
So glad I bought one of these! Fairly easy to assemble. My husband did it in about 15mins. I love it's multi purpose. There are very secure buckle locks for peace of mind. My daughter has been using it since she was 11months but at a young age I'm right there in case she loses her balance. Can't wait until she is old enough to use as a desk.

Cute and functional!
Love this step stool/desk for our 17 month old. She’s still a little too short to reach the sink standing on the stool, but I know this will come in handy as she gets older. The desk is adorable and, again, will be even better when my daughter is a little bigger. BUT, what goober decided to put the huge uneasy-to-peel sticker on the top of the desk part?! It is a B to peel off (Going to have to use some Goo-Gone most likely)...I even retraced my steps of putting it together to double check, and yep, the only way it will go is where the sticker is on top 🙄 oh well, not a difficult issue, just annoying. Overall love this step stool! Easy to store, easy to assemble (instructions were VERY well pictured), very functional, and a decent price. I don’t know how long the latches will last over the years, but time will tell. It works for now!

Cuts Down on Crying!
We really like this little learning tower! Got it for our son when he was about 15 months, and it has really cut down on the crying in the kitchen! He likes being able to climb up to counter height whenever he wants, instead of being stuck down on the floor while Mommy works on things far above his head.Our son learned to climb up right away and took a few weeks or so to learn to climb down by himself. Of course he sometimes tries to climb on the side or climb onto the counter, but I’m not sure the tower itself could be made to prevent something like that! He’s usually on the tower with an adult nearby, so we just keep a bit of an eye on him. The tower does come with a “safety bar” across the back, which can easily be inserted and removed by hand, but we don’t bother using it.I like the slim profile of this tower, smaller than the one my friend has. We leave it set up at the end of the kitchen counter and it’s small enough that it’s not much in the way.I did see some reviews that said the paint job on this is subpar. That’s probably true, but honestly, we are using this for a 1-year old in the kitchen. After a few days, he’s got it covered in sticky crumbs and you can’t even tell what kind of paint job it has! And if that wasn’t enough to ruin it, then the required regular wipe-downs (to remove said sticky crumbs) would definitely do it! It’s a utility piece of furniture for us, so a little subpar painting is definitely not an issue. :)We have not really used the desk feature of this, so that’s the only part I won’t review. It does seem like a cool addition and I can see that it converts easily. We may use that in the future, but I would still buy this even if it were just the learning tower!

Son loves it
It was easy and quick to put together. My son is 15 months old and loves sitting at the desk and also standing at the counter playing with some toys while I wash dishes. The bar in the back is nice to keep him from falling. It's great that it has 2 functions and they are both useful. It seems sturdy for now - the only downfall is it does slide easily on the tile floor... I get nervous if he "wiggles" too much while standing in it, it might tip over? I'm going to put some grips on the legs just to ensure that doesn't happen. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase.
