There are two reasons to get a Learning Tower:
1. Independence, so my child has the liberty and freedom to act and learn within a prepared environment. 2. Safety - Step stools and chairs can be used too by a child to access the counter also and I know because I used a chair before to get my learning tower, but I was to worry about her falling off.
Conclusion: Worth the effort to make one!
So we will use the IKEA hack to make our learning tower, they are plenty tutorials on this one, but I will show you, how we did it? I did 2 - one for mine and other for my niece. but just for one the project cost me under $40, any learning tower I found online would have cost me over $100, so fantastic! Lets do it!

IKEA Bekvam stool
14 units 1 1/2" #6 Wood Screws

1.Put the IKEA Stool up, but no the top piece, if already assembled, unscrew only the top piece. I get mine already assembled from Facebook market!
2. Sand all the ends to keep fingers safe :)
3. Mark all the holes you need to do
4. Put together one side of the frame and then the other part, using 2 1/2 wood screws - 4 each side of the frames.
5. Attach the round dowel to the front, using 1 1/5" wood screws.
** Is easy to put side down the top piece.7. Attach the frame to the rest of the stool.
