Learning Towers?

I think a couple of ladies mentioned before that they had one. If you have one, do you like it? Do you recommend the one you have? What made you choose the one you picked?

thanks!

I bought one for my son for Christmas when he was 1.5ish.

We have the genuine Learning Tower. I like it and generally recommend it. It seemed sturdier than the other brands and I liked that you could buy an art easel attachment and it could serve dual functions.

It IS very heavy and a bit cumbersome. Luckily, I have a very open kitchen and don't have to move it too frequently. The peace of mind it gives me when my little sous chef is helping me in the kitchen is well worth the expense.

Love ours, we use it daily.  In the morning DH makes lunches and gets stuff ready in the kitchen and J loves eating his breakfast at the counter right next to daddy.  We'll also give him things to "help" cut and he loves pouring things and being able to get his own water, etc.  We have the kitchen helper version but my DCP has the learning tower so J uses both.  I like the KH because it folds up to only 3 or 4 inches wide and is the same height as our counter.  Our kitchen is really small so it's nice to be able to fold it almost completely out of the way when J's not around or we're not working in the kitchen.  The learning tower is bigger, so maybe more than one kiddo can use it and sturdier. 

 Forgot to mention that you can fold it up with one hand and a hip bump, lol, so it's really quite easy to get out of the way!

We got one used off of craigslist a while ago and unfortunately we resold it on craiglist about a month later.  I loved it but the thing is HUGE and took up way too much room in our already small kitchen.  I thought I would just move it to the garage when not in use but it was really heavy and awkward to move and it needed to stay in one place.  I was super bummed.
