Great addition to our kitchen! Our 15 month old loves standing in it to see everything that is going on. The sides with the vertical bars are not super solid (because they are hinged) so when she throws her weight against these sides, it rattles the whole unit. I fear she may one day break the hinges if this keeps up but so far no accidents! The standing platform is quite slippery so best not to wear socks. Also because of the supportive feet on the kitchen helper, it does not sit flush with the counter if there is no kick plate (2 inch gap). Unlike what the product website says, there are only 2 heights on this, not 3. Knowing all of this, we would still purchase the kitchen helper again because it is that functional in our kitchen!
