This has been a completely GAME CHANGER for me and my almost 1.5 year old. I'm always in the kitchen cooking and doing dishes (it's my favorite room!) but it was getting so hard to get anything done with my daughter pulling at my legs, asking me to pick her up, and just wanting to be involved. My husband and I bought this for her for Christmas and she has loved it! She honestly hates when I take her out. It is the perfect height for my counters so that the bar across the front is right against my drawer handles so she doesn't hit her legs on them which is great! It's very sturdy and she looks and is very contained-as in not much room for her to he able to fall or get hurt so I feel it's very safe. The slip resistant stickers that come with it are very effective. This took my husband about 15-20 minutes or so to put together and he didn't as far as difficulty level, well-he didn't have to use any profanity while putting it together so I'd guess easy. ?
