if you want a picture you can PM me

Love to see a pic and was it $75 for both or just one?

What a great post! We are so going to have to make one of these. I get nervous putting DD up on the bar/counter all the time, but she has to be part of the action!

Someone mentioned an off-brand version of the LT at Walmart. I searched their site but couldn't find it. Anyone know what it's called or have a link?
Thanks.

Wow those are all fantastic, I'd love to have a learning tower but they're sooo expensive. Didn't think we could make our own but some of the simpler designs look do-able.
