"The tray damaged the tower! I’m extremely disappointed, especially given how expensive this product was. I would never have purchased it with the tray if I had known that simply using it as intended could damage the tower itself. I’m honestly surprised this design passed inspection. The tray has now left visible damage on my brand-new toddler tower, which is particularly frustrating because the tower’s beautiful appearance was one of the reasons I was willing to spend so much on it. At this point, the tray is effectively useless to me because I don’t feel comfortable putting it back on and risking further damage. So not only did I spend money extra money on an accessory I can no longer use, but that accessory has also damaged an expensive, brand-new tower itself. For a product at this price point, this is simply unacceptable. I expected much better quality and attention to how the tray interacts with the tower."

Perfect Helper
"My little loves helping in the kitchen and now with this tower we both are happy she can help and i know shes safe."
Safe & fun!
"I bought this as a 1st birthday present for my granddaughter and love it! It's fully assembled except for the stabilizing feet and is solidly built. The standing area has feet gripper pads and is fully enclosed and is safe as it could possibly be. Very happy with my purchase."
easy assembly
"super easy to put together! toddler loves it & super safe so far"
"Assembly was a breeze! This toddler tower is built extremely well and feels super sturdy! Really love the screens on front and back and that they’re easy to snap on and off when the little one wants to climb in or out!"
Amazing!
"Great quality and aesthetic. My toddler loves it and it allows us a new way for us to spend time together."
Worth every penny
"There is a reason this thing keeps selling out! Don’t hesitate. My son is 15 months, but has been walking for several months now, running even. So we purchased this to help us get things done in the kitchen and engage him a bit. We make coffee together and he eats while we prepare and clean up. It’s a dream to clean and my son is very rowdy and he tries to move and shake the tower and it does not budge. I’m super happy with this purchase and it’s truly worth every penny."
Wow!!!
"I sent one to my daughter for her 19-month-old and another to my son for his 16-month-old and everyone is over the moon with their new toddler towers! The children are so excited to be a part of what mom and dad are doing, while mom and dad are hands free to do what they need! I just arrived to see the 19-month-old using his and brought him a dinosaur apron… so much excitement! And I’ll see the 16-month-old in a few weeks with matching mommy/daughter matching aprons! Thank you Guidecraft!!"
My daughter loves it
"Seems pretty safe. My 20 month old easily climbs up ands enjoys standing on it in the middle of the kitchen!"
"Delivery was fast and i was grateful that if needed little to no set up."
Q&A
- After using this for 2 kids, the mesh has ripped. Can we get a new replacement piece without buying a whole new tower?

- Hello, I removed the two mesh sidewalls for clean but was unable to install one of them back since one pair of the barrel nut and bolt used for stabilization are somehow unmatched.
