TP Toys Active Tots Folding Helper Tower

My child loves to get involved in the kitchen especially with baking. My kitchen is quite compact and the other products similar to this just take up too much floor space. I’m really pleased with the Helper Tower as it’s sturdy and well made, keeps my child safe while they join in counter activities and once we are done I can fold it away so I’m not tripping over it. Highly recommend.

Easy to assemble and is sturdy. Folds up easily. The screws poke through the foot plate when attaching the hook. Fortunately it’s not sharp just a visual defect, wouldn’t expect that for the money paid but doesn’t effect it’s use at all.

Pre drilled holes aren’t all in sync so nearly impossible to build! Wood and quality is terrible

my little boy loves helping out, we do baking and getting up and down. love that it feels safe and sturdy

As other reviews say, the screw for the platform is too long. I used my own screw & it worked just fine. However, the product does NOT fold away easily. You have to fully unscrew the triangle bits on both sides. This wouldn’t be quite so bad if you could leave the screws & washers attached, but they have to fully come away for it to fold up, so you’re very likely to lose them, especially the washers!

I was excited about this step stool for my son. My main criteria for buying was foldable and convenient to store easily. Putting this stool together was a nightmare - it's complicated enough that it would have a while if everything went well, but a couple of pre-made holes were wrong so I had to work out where they should be, get a drill and drill new holes. Now that might not be complicated in itself but that's not what I was in for and it took me ages to finish it. Then on the main shelf there is a big sticker with security warnings. It's impossible to take off! It's in the most obvious place so it defeats the purpose of the beautiful wooden stool to keep it. I scratched the glue for ages but it's still sticky and overall just very frustrating. Lastly, when you fold this stool, you have to take 2 screws on the side and put them back each time. So it's not just a simple - I use it, then fold it away and use it again. It's not the end of the world if you only plan to have it unfolded most of the time then only fold it periodically. If like me you want to put it away every time after using it, it's overall time consuming and just not convenient at all. I would have returned it but you don't realise those things before having put the whole thing together, and now it's too late. I don't recommend this stool if you want something convenient. With all the other choices out there, I'm sure there is better.

Brought this for my little boy we have a small kitchen so folds down small for perfect storage, assembly is okay, great quality , could do with an extra bar for Safety,

The product itself is really good but the screws for the hook on the step are too long so have lifted the wood where the child will be standing. I would recommend using shorter screws if you have them. Such a shame as it’s supposed to be a Christmas present but I’m going to need to sand it or glue it as it’s a hazard otherwise. The broken wood looks worse in person than in the picture. Other than that it was quite easy to put together and it folds well and looks good.
