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.

I bought one of these a while back and once the legs are on it's pretty sturdy, I have had large pots of water on it without issue. I haven't had much luck getting a griddle on there though because the guides for pots/skillets/woks keep it too far off the flame.

They could push or pull it out of place. If they hung on it, it would easily break. It worked to avoid the simple reaching into flames (we have a gas stove) while actively monitoring toddler who knows it's hot and is a bit cautious already.

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.

I used this at a church dinner and it did not wobble at all. I used only 3 tiers at that time, but did not have any problem at all. I assembled it, but someone else put the cupcakes on it and they had no problem either. Hope this helps.

My unit is wobbly as well. I would suggest attaching the flat cover for the back and bracing it to wall. Once my baby was about 6 mos n moved more so did the unit.

Not wobbly at all! I used it with my chili which is pretty thick and it handles well. The handles on these are thick and sturdy.

We have this stool and our toddle has jumped, dragged and shook it from all sides and it has held up. Even when it is collapsed against a wall she will pull it out in order to set it up to see what I am doing. The feet have never had to be tightened and we have owned if for over a year. Hope this helps

This was a concern of mine, too. I'd say it's pretty stable, but can be pulled over if they put all of their weight into it. I bought this table for my daughter right around the pulling up stage, and she toppled it maybe a couple of times. For the most part, it's fine. And even when she did pull it over, it's low enough to the ground that she didn't fall very hard. Unless you have a little daredevil, it would probably be fine.

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.

That's how I am using them as well. I don't belive a toddler would be able to pull them over, they are very well balanced and once you add your vegatables the weight would make it very hard for a small child to tip.

I bought this for my 2-year old. The seat definitely goes down low enough for two-year old height. She loves putting things in the little pouch in front and LOVES the water bottle. Developmentally, she wasn't quite ready for a bike right at 2. She's slowly learned to peddle and propel herself a little, but at 2.5, she's still not strong enough to peddle unless we are on even pavement. We use the back handle a lot. I'm hoping this bike will grow with her for a couple more years. It's a solid choice, but you might also consider a balance bike (without peddles) to ease your child into the world of bicycles.

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.

I don't feels it supports my child enough I want to stick bean bags or weights around the outside to stable it as my 11 month old can drag it and I worry about it collapsing

As JLo C. said, as ong as they can sit up and hold up their heads no problem. The seat is somewhat slippery as it is all wood and would be a long fall if they did wriggle out. Look for the attachments on craigslist and such. We are going to make our own cushion for it. Our 2 year old uses it but our one year old is still in the regular high chair.

It's not too tough I guess. My active 18 month old figured it out quickly. Her foot fits in the ladder openings so she can stand and put her weight on it.

We didn't use the legs with ours--it was more stable for our 2 year old that way.
