This little stool is just SO cute. It came in a sturdy box and we had to put it together, but it was easy and included all the needed parts. The stool is sturdy, too, and doesn't tip. I gave it to my 14-month-old granddaughter for Christmas, and while she didn't use it for a stool then and just climbed on it, she is now a little older, and I expect she will use it as a stool soon. It isn't real tall, so take note of the height measurement if you want the child to reach, for instance, a bathroom sink. But children grow and the child will soon be tall enough for the stool to give that added boost up.
