5.0 out of 5 stars WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!!!!!!, December 16, 2006
This is worth the cost!!!!!!!! I hesitated to buy this because of the price. Finally, my mom decided to buy it for my b/g twins for Christmas. They are 19 months old. This is hands down the single best piece of equipment, furniture, or toy we have for them at this point. They absolutely love being able to watch mommy cook and when I need to occupy them for 10 or 15 minutes, I scoot it up to the kitchen sink and let them play in the water. They can both stand on it at the same time and it is a great lifesaver and ARM saver. Have you ever tried holding twins up to watch you do things in the kitchen? Impossible.

The 6 year old neighbor girl down the street comes over twice a week when her mother works. We adjust the platform and viola! She can help out in the kitchen too! This tells me we're going to get YEARS of use out of this. If my kids use it for the next five years, that means we paid roughly 30-40 dollars a year for it. That's 15 dollars per kid a year. Is that worth it? I think so. My guess is that it will resell quite well, so we'll make some of the money back.

As far as design goes... it's a very well made piece of equipment. The screws are counter sunk and the wood is very good quality. It's nice and heavy and there is no chance of it rocking or toppling. I can't say enough good things about it. The twins climb in and out pretty easily and they love it. I'd recommend this thing to anyone. If you can only afford one high cost item this year, I'd consider buying this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product!, January 25, 2005
By 
This is a well designed piece that has brought peace to our household. I am a chef and my then 16 month-old was miserable not seeing what daddy was up to. We used a chair for him to stand on until he took a nosedive off. This brings him up to counter height and he is a happy camper. This tower was easy to assemble, has a nice balance with form and function and is easily cleaned. I would recommend this to anyone and my 21 month-old climbs in and out with ease and couldn't be happier.

2.0 out of 5 stars very stable & sturdy BUT design flaw with feet, February 25, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Overall this is a great product. It looks nice, and it is very stable and sturdy and with a bit of practice young children can happily help themselves in and out.

Issues:
- First, the pictures you see on some sites that show twin girls standing in it, who are at least 3 or 4 years of age, is not realistic. Two 2yr olds can stand in it, if they cooperate with each other. With bigger kids only one will comfortably fit.

-Second, some pictures show this item with feet that only stick out from the two longer sides. In reality, there is another set of feet that stick out from the shorter sides. This is a good thing for stability but doubles the tripping hazard.

- Lastly, the big problem is the tripping hazard. Some reviewers seem to find it amusing that they trip on it until they're used to it. I could learn to avoid the Tower's feet myself. But my toddlers cannot remember, and my toddlers are constantly catching their feet on the Tower's feet and falling. This is not amusing to me at all. This design flaw could easily be fixed by the manufacturer. Presently the Tower's feet are vertical pieces of wood. The vertical part catches your toes without warning if you walk too close to the tower. However, if the Tower's feet were angled to the ground on all sides, like a hill, your toes would feel the rising incline and would not be caught suddenly with no warning. I tried to reduce the tripping hazard by clipping a blanket around all sides but I cannot find a way to secure the blanket tight enough to do the job. I may try a rubberized mat and a staple-gun to secure it. I'll have to do something with it, or it has to go.
