Review: The Learning Tower

After 10 months of debating and mulling over whether or not I should keep on using a chair or fork up the two hundred bucks to buy this crazy contraption, I finally did it. Well my mom bought it, thanks mom! If you've never seen one of these it's called a The Learning Tower.(Note I am not affiliated with Little Partners I just love their product.)
The learning tower has a lot of great features, my favorite being the adjustable platform. My daughter is short for her age, but the platform at it's highest setting allows her to be waist high at the counter. She loves this as she can help me prep food, mix up baked goods, have a quick snack or just do one of our learning activities. The ladder steps are comfortable to use with their beveled edges.
The eight feet on the bottom make it extremely stable, which is really a priority when you turn your back for just one second then come back to see your kid doing gymnastics on it. Only problem is I stub my toes sometimes when I'm working right next to it.
As you can see we got the easel attachment. I love this too as it has whiteboard on one side and a chalkboard on the other. It's also magnetized so you can put letter and number magnets up! I've wanted to get an easel for Sofia but there just isn't a good place for it in our house. I would have to put it away every time we were done using it and that's not convenient. But this easel is convenient and it never has to go away. It also has a wall mount for when your kid out grows the tower.
Assembly is easy and you don't need separate tools as everything is included. So far I haven't found any cons other then stubbing my toes a few times. I looked for a very long time on Craig's List for one but they were always sold before I could get a hold of the seller. Is it worth the money? Absolutely. Plus with two kids it will be used for years and years.
