How to Set Up Our Fold N' Store Learning Tower

Getting your child involved in the kitchen or at the counter is a wonderful part of the Montessori learning experience. Our Fold N' Store Learning Tower is designed to make that experience safe, fun, and easy! Plus, when playtime is over, it folds flat for quick storage. It’s a huge win for any home.

This guide will walk you through the setup process. Don't worry, it's straightforward! We've made sure the process is as simple as possible so your little helper can start learning and growing right away.

1. Hardware and Parts

Before you begin, it’s always a good idea to lay out everything and check that you have all the necessary pieces. Think of this as the "inventory check" phase! Every piece is labeled in your instruction manual, but here’s a simple look at the major components you’ll be working with.

2. Assembly - Choose Your Child's Height Setting

The best part about the Fold N' Store Learning Tower is its adaptability! Because children grow so quickly, we've designed the tower to be adjustable. You can assemble the standing platform at one of three different height positions to ensure the perfect, safest fit for your child right now.

Important Warning: Adult Assembly Required.

Please remember that this product includes several small parts and may have some potentially sharp points and edges while it is unassembled. For the safety of your child, please keep all unassembled parts away from children and ensure an adult handles the entire setup process.

Once you decide on the height position, follow the instructions and images carefully for your chosen setting. You will only need to assemble the tower once, but you may adjust the platform height as your child grows.

Choosing Your Configuration

3 adjustable heights

The main goal when choosing the height is ensuring the top edge of the guardrail is approximately at your child’s waist or slightly higher. This makes sure they can reach the counter safely without feeling like they need to lean over the rail too much.

To help you decide, here are the three available standing platform heights, measured from the floor:

• Height Position A: The Highest Setting (18 ⅞ in.)

• This setting is typically ideal for your youngest helper, giving them the maximum boost needed to reach the standard kitchen counter or tabletop comfortably and safely. This setting provides the closest distance from the standing platform to the top guardrail for that extra sense of security.

• Height Position B: The Middle Setting (16 ⅞ in.)

• This position is perfect for those toddlers who are right in the middle of their growth spurt! It offers a lovely balanced height for both reach and safety, ensuring your child can comfortably participate as their height and coordination continue to improve.

• Height Position C: The Lowest Setting (15 in.)

• This setting is designed for your older, taller helper who is almost counter height but still needs a small, secure lift. This position gives them the most vertical room between the standing platform and the guardrail, perfect for confident learners.

3. Time to Start the Build!

Once you've decided on the perfect height position for your child, you are ready to start building your tower.

The next steps involve carefully installing all the smaller parts, like the screws, bolts, and specialized connectors, using the Allan key that came with your hardware. These parts are what secure the main frame pieces and the standing platform into the solid, stable configuration you’ve chosen.

Please look for the detailed, step-by-step instructions (including clear, close-up images and labeled parts) inside your product packaging. This complete guide will walk you through exactly where to place each screw and connector to build a secure, stable, and safe tower. The instructions inside the box are your best friend for a smooth assembly!

4. Tips & Guidance

You did it! Now that your Fold N' Store Learning Tower is assembled, it’s ready for all the fun that comes with it. To ensure you and your child get the most joy and longevity out of this premium piece of furniture, here are a few simple tips for care and safety. We want this tower to last through many memories!

Fold N' Store Natural Learning Tower

Keep It Clean

Our learning towers are built with durable, high-quality materials, but a little gentle care goes a long way in keeping that beautiful finish looking great:

• Spot Clean Gently: When your tower inevitably gets a little bit messy (from flour dust to paint splatters), simply rub the surface gently with a damp cloth and a mild soap. There’s no need for harsh chemicals; just a gentle wipe-down is all it needs. Think of it like giving a nice wooden table a little TLC.

• Dry Immediately is Key: Wood furniture is sensitive to moisture. If your tower gets wet from splashes, spills, or during cleaning, it is very important to dry it off immediately with a soft, clean towel. This simple step is the best way to prevent any potential damage to the wood finish over time, keeping your tower looking lovely for years to come.

Safety First, Always

These simple guidelines are so essential for keeping your little one safe and preventing any accidental tipping. It’s all about creating a secure environment for learning and fun:

• Use on Bare, Level Ground Only: Please always make sure you use the tower on a bare, perfectly level ground surface. It is important to avoid placing it on rugs, shaggy mats, or uneven flooring. These surfaces can shift or cause the base of the tower to be unstable, which increases the risk of tipping. A solid floor is the safest platform.

• Adult Supervision is a Must: Even though our tower is designed with stability and safety features in mind, adult supervision is required at all times when your child is using it. Always stay within arm’s reach or eyeshot of your child while they are standing on the platform.

• Check the Joints: Like any sturdy piece of furniture that gets a lot of daily use, the joints might loosen up a tiny bit over time. That’s totally normal! We include a simple Allan key in your package for this very reason. Please keep this key handy and use it to tighten any joints if you ever notice they are becoming wobbly or loose with regular use. A quick, easy turn every few months is all it takes to keep your tower rock-solid and secure.

The Wonderful Folding Feature

Don't forget the main reason you chose our Fold N' Store Learning Tower! When you're done with kitchen projects or crafts, and you're ready to tuck it out of sight, simply follow the folding instructions. It usually involves a simple lift and collapse mechanism to store it flat against a wall or neatly in a closet. This feature is a total game-changer for homes where space is at a premium.

We hope you enjoy watching your child learn and grow with their Fold N' Store Learning Tower. It’s so much more than just a step stool. It’s a safe, dedicated space for them to learn, observe, and connect with you during all of your wonderful, everyday activities!
