Learning Tower Kids

I have had several learning towers over the years. This one is by far my favorite! The screws are all the same size , they all line up and go in beautifully with no hassle. It took me about 30 mins to put this together with an electric screwdriver (not needed but faster). The directions are clear with pictures, each peice is labeled with a sticker (that's easy to take off with no residue). The platform for standing on has metal female receivers built in (sorry, Im not sure what they are called) that the hand screws screw into. So if your adjusting the hight frequently your not going to strip out a hole in just wood. I appreciate that they made sure to make it truely adjustable by having the metal reciever for the screw so its durrable and lasts for years, because I have had other towers that did not and hollowed the wood out over time. The paint on this is thick and well coated. It's smooth and all the edges are rounded smooth, including the step at the bottom which is sometimes forgotten on other towers and not rounded off so it scrapes their shins. The Seat is a first for me. No other tower that I have treid had a seat option. I like that it's easy to remove. My 2yo can actually climb over it to get in and out herself because I don't have the 2nd or 3rd rails attached to the tower. It comes with a top rail that's not meant to be removed and then a 2nd a d 3rd rail you can place in with hand screws as needed for shorter babies/toddlers that might walk backwards and fall out or to stop them from being able to crawl into the tower themselves. So, all I all I really can't find anything wrong with this towers functionality, quality or features. Its built solid and works great. We are happy to have it in our kitchen!
