My son just loves to help cook, and since he has a very special diet for hims metabolic condition (PKU) we try to encourage him to pitch in with his food. I also have a 1 year old who will want to help soon with meals, so this would get A LOT of use in our house.
I wouldn't be using it, my daughter would be. She loves to watch me cook and even helps me mix and is my taste tester. This would be much safer than having her sit in one of the counter stools. She would be able to get in and out of this independently without me having to try to left my child out with "chicken hands" or whatever. The art easel could help her stay busy when she gets tired of cooking. Looks like a great product.

My daughter has recently been very interested in helping me bake. She loves pouring ingredients and mixing them. I can't wait to bake Christmas cookies with her! She and I would love for her to have a safe place to help and get into everything.
My daughter would love to use the Learnings Tower in the kitchen so that she could watch me cook. She gets so frustrated that she can't see what's going on at the counter.
I would use it to help my 2yo to make meals with her Daddy -- he loves cooking, and she loves cooking in her play kitchen, so I would love for them to team up!
My 20 month old daughter would probably enjoy using the Learning Tower as a jungle gym at first. She would eventually learn that it can be used as a safe step stool for washing hands which is most likely how we would use it at this age.
My three yo ds and almost two yo dd would LOVE to have this to see what is going on in the kitchen! They are always asking to be held while I am cooking and well, that just doesn't work!
my nephew has one of these and I'm very jealous- it's GREAT.
We would use it to have our sons help us cook - our 3.5 yo loves to help as it is- but it's awkward on the step stool we have - always worried about him falling, etc. This would be fantastic.
My nephew has one and my son loves to play on it! He uses it for puppet shows as well as reaching the sink to wash his hands. It's a great way to let kids watch you cook while keeping them at somewhat of a distance.
This would be great for cooking and baking together, and letting her see what I'm doing when I'm busy up on the counter prepping food or washing dishes.

Emmalee LOVES to "help" her Daddy cook every meal. She is fascinated with everything he does in the kitchen. He has to hold her in his arms while he is cooking, because otherwise she sits on the floor and screams to be picked up. I would love to buy one so she can stand up higher and watch her Daddy cook.
I would use the Learning Tower to help my toddler see and participate in preparing food, and to keep her busy enough with me to leave her napping baby sister alone while I fix dinner.
My almost 2 year old has just started helping in the kitchen, esp when we make pancakes or cookies. It's pretty cute to see her helping me with her mini apron on with no pants, lol. This would a great tool in the kitchen.
We are doing homeschool preschool, and I know my little one would love have a safe place to stand while we cook together (early science and math skills!). I have a 4 month old also, so this would be used in my house for years to come!
I've always wanted one of those Learning Towers. My son would love to help me in the kitchen. Right now he just had a step stool, but it isn't quite the same.
Definitely in the kitchen! Instead of sitting DD on the window ledge (which is quite deep, tyvm) to watch me wash dishes, she can watch and help me without me having to hover over every little move she makes.
My son loves to help cook his food, so this would help him make his own food. He knows how to put his bagels in the toaster and tries to butter them, and he'll help us put some food in the microwave. He's also very interested in what I'm doing when I cook, so the tower would help him participate. He also loves art stuff, so I'm sure he'd enjoy the ability to stand and create.
This would enable Mia to help me with my art projects. I am a Children's Artist and Illustrator, and even at 3 months old Mia loves to help me paint and draw. Currently she's tiny enough to sit on my lap, and I can easily see over her. Eventually she will become too tall to sit on my lap, but too tiny to reach my desk. This would be perfect for that! And ... the Art Easel ... it would be just like Mommy's! (Maybe it will prevent a deadline disaster in the future!)
The Learning Tower would be great to put to use in my house. With 2 crazy little boys they would wear this sucker out, daily. My oldest son loves to come home and show off what he learned in school. He would use it as at art easel and enhance his creativity, and at the same time, learn his colors and shapes. And instead of having to climb on the countertops to watch me clean he, can be safe without me having to worry if he will get to close to the fire. Not to mention turn it into a sweet hideout/tent. My youngest son would use it as his own personal jungle gym and get his motor skills intact. And while his brother is at school, it will be a great way to teach him his ABC's.
To let BOTH of my kids help safely in the kitchen. Right now one is on a disastrous stool and the other gets her fingers stepped on when she tries to join in the fun. Thanks!
My daughter loves to bake with me & the only way is standing on a chair or by sitting on the counter (but I don't want that to be a habit she'll think she can do forever!). She could help add in ingredients & she loves to stir.

We've been looking for an art easel for forever! We'd love one. And having a learning tower would be so handy for helping with cooking!

Considering my daughter claims she wants to be a chef at her preschool AND an artist when she grows up, this is the perfect gift for her!
It would also work great as a bar to hold onto when practicing her ballet stretches (first position and pliet squats).
