Review for guidecraft 15924w kitchen helper natural
Price was $118.67. My daughter is almost 2 and is often underfoot - or wants to be held - in the kitchen. Of course, this is the most inopportune time to be carrying a child, plus she really just wanted to see what we were doing. I'd been wanting a "learning tower, " as i've grown to know it, but many others are quite high in price. We chose this one because it a) folds up flat for storage, and b) has an adjustable height for our daughter to stand on. (it is not adjustable on the fly, and requires some rebuilding of the part - it's fine for us, but may be a pain if you have kids of different ages/heights using this. ) initial assembly was quick and easy. . The quality of this item is not great. There are parts that came put together that wiggle around, but it doesn't affect the integrity of the tower. But it does the job, and is relatively light enough to carry (or in my case, drag) across the kitchen floor. It hasn't left any marks on our tile when i drag it, either. ). . My daughter is relatively calm and has not tried to climb the cut-out shapes on the side like someone else mentioned in their review. Had our daughter been more of a climber, we would probably not have risked this purchase and gone with a more expensive one. She can climb in and out of this tower herself. The whiteboard and chalkboard on the sides look cheap and i wouldn't really trust that they would be easy to clean, so we just haven't used them at all. I've stubbed my toe on numerous occasions on the little stabilizing "feet" on this, but like our baby gate, i've learned to avoid it. . I'm giving this four stars because i think it is a more affordable version of a really great concept. If you're looking for something like this, there really isn't anything wrong with it, especially if your child won't try to climb out over the sides. It's stable, sturdy enough (at least for our 23 pounder), and does the job. It's also really nice that it adjusts in height and folds flat. Many others don't seem to do both. But understandably, with the price drop comes a slightly lower quality.

We bought this over 6 years ago and it was one of the best kid purchases we made. We bought it when my son was 2 and used it daily for years. When our daughter was big enough to stand she started using it too! both of them would stand in it to dye eggs, bake cookies, or help with dinner. I loved having them up and secure. When it was not being used it stored folded up in our pantry. So many great memories were made with our kitchen helper!

We've had our kitchen helper tower for about 2 weeks and it has changed my life! no more toddler screaming at my feet while i'm cooking or doing dishes. I'm very happy with the quality. It looks really nice and feels solid. It's also incredibly sturdy. My son tries to climb it and he's pretty rough and it doesn't budge. My son is 14 months and fairly tall for his age and this works great for him. Right now we use it on the tallest setting. He can't quite get it in on his own but he probably will be able to soon. He can get out by himself though. It fold up very easily and quickly so it only takes a minute to get it out and put it away. I would recommend this tower to everyone. -W. Jarvis

So after you are done choking on the price- really consider it because it's great. My toddler is probably the clumsiest kid on earth and falling off stools was a problem for us. This one is great! he hasn't fallen off it yet! it's super sturdy and gets right up against the counter with no gap. He gets on and off it really easily, the cutout shapes make it easy for him to grab on and hoist himself up. We resisted buying it for some time because holy dolllars, but now that we finally caved, i wish we would have done it sooner. Barely any assembly was required, just putting the little feet on, i handled it in no time and "assembly" really isn't one of my skills.

Melissa & Doug Let's Play House Dust Sweep Mop 6-Piece Pretend Play Set
My son loves to play with the big broom, but it sometimes knocks him over because of its weight. Looked up broom for kids and found this product. I love melissa and doug items and have used them for years as i am a behavior analyst and work with kids. He absolutely loves every item in the package! the stand is great, but my son likes to use it as a weapon and swing it around so i glued suction cups to the bottom so that it stays in place. Would definitely recommend this item for any little cleaners out there!
This six-piece play set gives kids all the housekeeping tools they need to keep it clean! sized just for kids and built to last, the broom, mop, duster, dust pan, and hand brush are comfortable to use and easy to store-just hang them from the sturdy cords onto the included stand for neat, compact storage. (the dust pan can also snap onto any of the handles. ) natural-wood handles add durability and a classic look; bright pops of color keeps lots of fun in the mix!
My two year old is crazy about brooms and anything similar. After he took our broom and dustpan hostage i knew we'd need to find a set for him. . All the kids cleaning sets for out there are in the same price range. Not all are the same quality. I needed something to withstand not only a two year old play style (in a concrete basement play room) but four other siblings as well. Melissa & doug haven't steered us wrong yet and knocked it out of the park with this set. . It's perfect size for both my two and four year old. It has a place to store them. This was a huge deal for me. We have another set that is plastic and it's all over the place. He loves putting them in their spots, easy cleanup! . . It's super solid wood. These have been dropped and banged around with no damage noted. The bristles are so soft on the broom. The duster and mop are gentle as well. Great choice of materials used for these. . These are great for pretend play with all ages. They go perfectly with our kitchen and baby doll/house area. One of the best things we've bought in a while for quality and always being played with! -Notice from P. Mahood, Newfoundland and Labrador

After seeing many reviews talking about quality issues, i wasn't sure what would come after ordering this kid-sized cleaning set. I'm glad to say that overall it seems sturdy and the perfect size. However, it needs some fixing. Every part of wood that you see in the product picture (minus what's painted red on the stand) is very splintery. After sanding it down, it was a little better but my brother told me it's inferior wood and the splinters won't go away. That being said, i'm going to coat it in plasti dip and hopefully that will fix it. . Overall i'm glad i bought it, it's very cute and my niece will be thrilled, but really wish there wasn't all this extra trouble to go through before she can play with it.
- J. CandyMy 2 year old is always trying to play with my broom and dustpan (yuck! ) so i thought this would be perfect for him. . His eyes lit up when he saw it! . . Well made wooden stand with a wide base so it doesn't too easily. Each tool has a lanyard to hang. My son loves hanging his tools on it. Well made set. The broom and dustpan are well made enough to actually sweep with when he is big enough to actually help. Mop is for play only, not to get wet. . I love melissa & doug products and this one is another win.
My 3 year old daughter loves to help clean the house so i got this for her for christmas. These were exactly as expected. The height of them we good. She could use them now but gave a little room to grow. The only problem i had was the dust pan did not hook onto the brush as it was intended. I easily fixed it by adding a little piece of velcro to the handle of the dust pan and the end of the brush so they would hook together to hang up. You don't even notice it while using the brush. She likes having her own cleaning supplies and has started showing her little sister how to use them. . *if you found this review helpful please click the helpful button below. Thank you.

The F.A.Q. for Guidecraft Kitchen Helper, Natural (G97325)
I typically do a lot of research before buying anything - this purchase was no exception. There is one other main competitor in this area - the learning tower. The reason i chose this item is that it was considerably less expensive and it collapses for easy storage. Our 19 month old daughter loves this. She is in it all the time to watch mommy and daddy make meals. She even likes eating in it (standing up)! the only negative comment i have is that the wood is very soft and if your toddler likes to explore materials by biting them, there will be tooth marks for sure. Even a fingernail press makes a mark in the soft wood. Directions were easy to understand, product was all but built right out of the box - the only thing you have to do are add the extra leg stabilizers. I do not regret the purchase.
A number of questions have been asked here.
Q&A
(0) Question: Do you need to remove any hardward (for example, remove a screw from the standing platform) in order to fold it?
Answer: There is a single screw that can be put into the standing platform to hold it in place and yes in order to fold it you would have to pull it out. With that said though my daughter has used this step stool since she was 15 months old and we did not put a screw in the standing platform and it is still very safe and we ha there is a single screw that can be put into the standing platform to hold it in place and yes in order to fold it you would have to pull it out. With that said though my daughter has used this step stool since she was 15 months old and we did not put a screw in the standing platform and it is still very safe and we have no problems folding it back up as a matter of fact we fold it often. So it is still safe even without the screw in the standing platform and you will be able to fold it with out any problems. My daughter loves to help in the kitchen and this step stool makes it possible. I highly recommend it! i hope this helps you.
(1) Question: Can you adjust the height of the platform?
Answer: Yes, but kind of a pain due to cheap hardware.
(2) Question: What are the dimensions when folded? thanks!
Answer: This item is not in my home so i am unable to measure but i agree with the dimensions given by others. You need to be aware (as already mentioned) that the dimension of the feet, when folded, is greater than the upper portion. I had hoped that my daughter could store it in a space beside her fridge but the feet made this item is not in my home so i am unable to measure but i agree with the dimensions given by others. You need to be aware (as already mentioned) that the dimension of the feet, when folded, is greater than the upper portion. I had hoped that my daughter could store it in a space beside her fridge but the feet made that impossible.
(3) Question: Can i easily paint this before putting together? or stain it?
Answer: Really don't think the paint will stick or able to stain. It has a finish on the wood, so you'd have to sand the whole thing. Also, there are no pieces to put together except the stabilizers on the legs. The wood is very nice looking actually. We absolutely love this kitchen helper for our 2 yr old granddaughter.

It is the perfect height for the kitchen counter, very stable, and easy for her to climb onto. It folds up and is extremely easy to store.
(4) Question: What is the weight limit?
Answer: According to the company's website its 125lbs. It is very sturdy and it gets bumped around a lot in my home. I lean on it but haven't put all my weight on it.
(5) Question: Can dads use this product with their kids too or is it just for moms?
Answer: Dads can use it too
(6) Question: How do you climb up to wash hands? does it require adults dropping the kid in?
Answer: The child climbs up through one of the entries on the front or back as pictured. Not hard and our granddaughter has continued to use it from 2yrs and she is now 5yrs. The best investment!
(7) Question: What is the weight? to calculate shipping, you indicated it should be "one day" but "standard" is far less expensive. please clarify.
Answer: Hello ellen - the weight is 24lbs. With regards to shipping we use online store's service so if you have any questions on costs please give them a call at 1866-216-1072 and they will be able to help. Kind regards, mike.
(note) Question: where/how to get Guidecraft (manufacturer's brand) accessories & similiar Guidecraft's products
Great height: haven't moved it down from the tallest setting and our 33" 2-year-old still fits. Fun: it's so much quieter in the kitchen now that our son can watch and "participate" in cooking, he loves the shapes (replacing a star with a triangle would be nice), and the chalk and white boards (larger would be nice). Sturdy: stable, strong, well-made, easy-to-assemble, the bolt holding the base down is long and cannot be removed without the included allen wrench. Suggestion for improvement: 1) sometimes our son pushes his fingers between the counter and the helper, which could be prevented if the top bars were brought in a little
Best guidecraft kitchen helper, natural (g97325) in review
This thing has been one of the best investments we've ever made and i'd recommend this to any parent of a toddler! we got it when my son was 13 months old, and he loves to "help" in the kitchen. I was told by several he was too young for this, but i completely disagree! this keeps him busy for at least as long as i have to get things done and saves me from having to hold him the whole time. He's now 14. 5 months old and is still on the highest setting. This thing gets soaked on a daily basis and is still in perfect first day condition. I would recommend getting some strips to help with slipping as the finish is great at keeping water out, but gets slick when wet. We got a package of this - "adhesive 7. 5" non-slip safety shower treads - clear" and they have been soaked, scraped and abused and are still going strong. . This is easy to fold, but we keep it set up in our kitchen all the time. Our son does try to stick his feet through the cut outs when he's ready to get down and i can see how that might be a safety hazard. I don't ever leave him alone though, so we never have a problem, but i can see how it could turn into one. Overall, great purchase for a one year old and up, would highly recommend! this has quite possibly saved my sanity as a new mother. If i could afford it, i'd get this for any 1st birthday party gift from here on out!

Great item- my daughter loves having access to help in the kitchen
F. Helen, Wiltshire says
This contraption is seriously the most amazing child related purchase i have ever made. I made this purchase when she was about 15 month old. My daughter was super curious as to what was happening above her eyesight. Like what i was doing in the kitchen and on the counters, she was always crying, wanting to be held so she could see what i was doing. Once i purchased this and put it together, which by the way was super duper easy, she hopped right on and was so much happier. She was too small to crawl up by herself at the time, so i had to pop her in. I would push it up against the counter and she'd watch me cook, or whatever. Once she got a tad bigger, she started pushing it to different parts of the kitchen depending on what i was doing. I am adding in a photo of her cleaning out a pumpkin and the seeds, which shows just how much she was able to participate and learn, just from being on this. So like i said before, this was super easy to assemble. I did it myself in under 30 minutes while sitting on the floor of my kitchen. My daughter has yet to use the blackboard and white board that are on the sides but i am ok with that. She has been able to push it around the kitchen because we have tile, and she's pretty darn persistant. We are able to interact in such an amazing way now that she can participate in things she couldnt do before. She is learning what cooking means. She is learning that cooking takes time. She helps me make my coffee in the morning (doesnt touch hot water but helps prepare coffee cup with sugar and milk). Oh, and i picked this one over the other popular version because this puppy folds. I mean, how awesome is that. If you dont have a heck of a lot of room, then this is the one for you. It folds in under 10 seconds and you can store it away easily. I have plenty of room in my kitchen, but still being able to fold this and put it away is a blessing. Like i said, best child related purchase yet. I would tell any parent to get this for their litte one.
X. Cassella, Provence-Alpes-Cote dAzur
I can't imagine my life without this kitchen helper. Seriously. My almost 2 year old and i use this helper every single day. We usually eat breakfast and often lunch in the kitchen together with her in her kitchen helper. She dances and plays in and around the helper. We chase each other in circles around it. She throws her toys through the shaped holes and plays peek-a-boo through them. She helps me cook and wash dishes as well. It helps her feel involved. She climbs in it herself. The enclosed top is a great safety feature because it keeps her from falling out - one less worry in a world of worries. . I did the assembly in minutes. I have yet to fold it up since it's used so often, but that option is great. It's really easy to clean - ours gets messy all the time. My husband keeps stubbing his toes on the foot anchors but i've never had any issues. . Beware that kids are strong and mine is capable of moving this helper around the kitchen. So make sure you don't leave any knife blocks out or any sharp utensils in drawers that can be reached once they move it around.
B. Carrie, Sefton says
My one and a half year old refused to sit and be strapped into his high chair to eat. He would try to kneel or stand on the chair next to his big sister. Problem was he'd end up falling or spilling all the time! he used a more expensive version of this at a friends house and stayed in for 20 minutes while he ate his whole lunch. What a change! i came home and immediately started shopping for our own. This brand was not only less expensive, but it folds up (which we don't use now as this is his daily seat for meals but will be nice when he doesn't use it and we'd like to save it for our next child), and is substantially smaller. It takes up less space at our island and just fits under our counter so he can really belly up to his meal. Plus, he can completely get in and out by himself, so i don't have to pick him up and wrestle him in (which is too hard while being pregnant! ) yes, this means he can fall out the back as i read in the reviews, but that is the risk of l allowing him to get independently in and out. My son has never fallen out and loves this. I do too!
T. Hakala, Arizona
I bought this for my 18 month old grandson for christmas. He absolutely loves it. He can easily get on and off which is great for him as he always wants to know what we are doing. We can easily involve him when possible. Of course, you have to be diligent about what is on the counter when he gets up. The unit itself is sturdy and attractive. It is a little more difficult to fold up than i expected as you have to take a screw out but this contributes to its steadiness. It is a perfect size and we can move it easily when needed. I can see him using this for years to come. I highly recommend this kitchen helper.
Y. Rebecca, Virginia says
My son loves this stool! he allowed him to be counter height when we're cooking dinner so he can see what's going on. We also keep it by the window so he can crawl up and look out the window at the rain or when daddy is mowing the lawn. And he's learned shapes from it, as well! excellent build and very sturdy. (he was just over a year when we bought this and now he's 18 months and really digs it)
N. Gina, Indiana
Bought this for my 24 mo old daughter. She loves helping in the kitchen, and i couldn't hold her and cook at the same time. This allows her to stand on her own at the counter. She is 34" tall and can crawl in and out of the stool on her own. We have the platform set on the highest setting so i see no reason why we won't get several years use out of it. She has never tried crawling up the sides where the cutouts are. The stool only sits flush against the counter if you have a kickplate (not sure of the terminology, but i'm referring to a 2-3 inch recess at the base of the cabinets). If your cabinets go straight down without the recess, then the stool will sit about 2 inches away. I don't think this is a big deal, but someone else mentioned it in a review and i didn't know what they meant. My daughter spilt some kool aid on it, and it wiped up easily. I'll update my review if we run into any problems, but i don't forsee any. It essentially comes put together; we just had to add the pieces at the feet and the screw to secure the platform. Had it put together in about 15 minutes without any problems. Love the fact that it folds up and was less expensive than a lot of other options.

This was a gift for our grandchild, so i consulted our daughter first as to whether they would use it. They had never seen one, but thought it sounded like a good idea. They wanted it to be collapsible so they could put it away when not in use. It's been over a month since they set it up in their kitchen and they never put it away, as the child (a one year old) uses it every day, and prefers it to the high chair. She likes to stand in it and eat her food at the counter. I was concerned about the possibility of her slipping out as i had read many reviews about this, so i cut a pine board to fit on the inside of one side. I made the fit tight enough and notched around the hinges so it would fit tight. For extra security, i secured it at the top by stapling some sturdy cotton shoe laces to the board and then tying them through the bottom cut out shapes. This actually just a quick fix, and i could have done a better job with velcro, or drilling holes through the pine board, but it works and likely she won't need the board in a few months. I could have bought the version with the side (which i recommend if you can't rig a board/side yourself) for the safety reason, but i didn't want to spend the extra money, so this worked for us. Another cool thing that can be done with this is to have it up near a window so the child can see out. They live on a busy street so she can watch the cars go by and what's happening outside, such as when there's a big snow storm and someone is shoveling the walkway or driveway. I do not recommend leaving the child alone in this as they could try climbing out, and be very aware of what is within reach to them such as knives, strings from window shades/blinds, or being to close to hot water or a stove (grease splatters). As with anything you need to child proof at this height within their reach. I highly recommend this product, and wish i'd thought to get one or build one when my children younger. This makes an awesome birthday/holiday gift for a young family, especially when little tend to get a lot of toys. This is one toy/activity that gets used daily.

My son loves this stool! he allowed him to be counter height when we're cooking dinner so he can see what's going on. We also keep it by the window so he can crawl up and look out the window at the rain or when daddy is mowing the lawn. And he's learned shapes from it, as well! excellent build and very sturdy. (he was just over a year when we bought this and now he's 18 months and really digs it)
