I have a 2 year-old. Is he going to be able to pull this over on himself fully loaded w/ cast iron pots &amp; pans? People are saying it's wobbly.

I would be afraid that a toddler would be able to pull this over if climbed on. While it is steady enough to hold cast iron cookware, it would tend to fall over if climbed on.

My grandchildren have it and I don't have access to it, but a eighteen month old and a seven year old have no trouble pushing it around. Hope that helps. It is made very sturdy and they love it.

we have been happy with our easel. We have a 1 yr old and he likes to "draw" with chalk (with supervision of course!) so we have it on the lowest setting. As he grows we'll raise it up but low its pretty sturdy. I can see potential for it to be a little wobbly on the highest setting, but my husband is handy and will come up with a way to make it more sturdy. Hope thats helpful!

The stove is extremely sturdy with the cross members in place on top. As long a you have the weight distributed evenly I would say your options are pretty open as to the pot or pan you may use.

I have this setup in my garage. I put placed the heavier items on the bottom for a little more sturdiness. It's works well so far. If your kids want to move bad enough, they will. You know how that goes. It's definitely not strong enough to climb on, but it's not that flimsy really. It's a great cheaper storage option. Hope that helps.

yes...my son is 2.5 and uses it fine...it's a little difficult for him to get onto by himself (even with a step stool), but once we get him up there, sitting on it is great and comfortable...

We used this with our 8 yr old, 50lb daughter this past summer. I think it is more of a weight issue. It is a bit of a drag behind you.

Where does it say that it can only hold 50lbs? If that's the case, I am in trouble. Mine is already converted to the toddler bed and it is amazing, my little man loves it. I will caution you though, the paint is not the highest quality and, although it looks great, it is very easy for young ones to gnaw it off.However, it is easily remedied by adding proper crib padding along the rails. For my little one, I put a little lemon juice where he kept chewing and he never did it again!:)

I know exactly what you mean, I have a 2 year old Grandson who could move my house from one location to another in a blink of an eye. This bench survived him without a scratch or loss of buttons. he climbed on it, stood up in it and fooled around with the lid. It is very sturdy.

Mine is sturdy, does not wobble. Our household does not have anyone over 200lbs.

Yes, our little boy pulls himself up all the time using it to help steady him. He and his friends have cruised around the edges holding on for balance (we have 2 fastened together so it's quite a large space).

Just attach the legs (safer shipping it sans legs, less likely to get damaged). It only took a few minutes, and my 2 year old helped. Very sturdy.

You don't have to have the feet on, but i felt it was better to put it on for stability. I choose this one over the Guidecraft because you can change the height on it. So as my son gets older/taller, we can lower it and he can still use it to help us cook.

Yes although would be better if you had someone would make it easier. Me and my husband went and he had to put it up himself while I watched our 2 year old.

We put ours together out in the garage just to make sure it was ok when it arrived, although it is for Christmas for our grandkids so we took it back apart. It went together great and was very sturdy. My husband thinks if it's wobbly, it might not be put together properly.

My daughter is 3 and had no issue. The handle adjusts. Unless the 2 year old is very small it should be fine. Like the previous poster I have not seen the other one. However, if it holds up to my daughters wear and tear. I would think it would be fine. I am 5' tall and can push it without bending if I adjust the handle to the highest position

I have two of these changing tables, one for my newborn and one in my two-year-old's room. Both are holding up well and and shelves are sturdy enough to hold baskets of changing supplies and infant and toddler clothes. The changing surface itself is still sturdy enough for my two year old who is almost 30 pounds, although she is getting a bit long for it and I have to be careful that she doesn't bang her head on the edge. I would say, use common sense not to let your child climb the furniture as that could result in injury or death if it falls over and do not overload the shelves with heavy items to extend the life of your furniture.
