LOLA Deluxe Learning Tower

The dual-sided board has a magnetic whiteboard on one face and a chalkboard on the other. Your child can draw, practise letters, or play with magnets once the cooking is done. It slides out of the side slots, so you can take it off and store it while the tower is in use.

The LOLA Deluxe is a solid rubberwood learning tower that lifts your child to bench height so they can join in with cooking, baking, and washing up. It stands 900 mm tall, holds up to 100 kg, and suits children from 12 months to 6 years. A removable dual-sided drawing board comes included.

The standing platform sits on two height settings, 472.5 mm or 367.5 mm from the floor. As your little one gets taller, move the board to the lower setting so they still reach the bench comfortably. The 390 by 300 mm platform gives both feet plenty of room to stand steady.

Safety sits in the build. Four removable side stabilisers widen the base to resist tipping, and a reinforced rear support adds extra steadiness while your child stands at the bench.

Two rear safety rails close off the space behind your child. Fit the second rail for children under 100 cm tall. The rubberwood carries rounded corners and a non-toxic, water-base varnish, and the frame holds up to 100 kg.

Wipe the rubberwood with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, then dry it off rather than leaving it wet. Skip harsh sprays, since the water-base varnish keeps the surface smooth and non-toxic. Store it in a well-ventilated spot and avoid covering the wood so it can breathe.

Most families start around 12 months, once a child can pull up and stand with support, and keep using it to about 6 years. Younger toddlers do best with both safety rails fitted and an adult close by. There is no rush; let your child set the pace as their balance improves.

It comes down to feel and budget. This solid rubberwood model is the heavier, more substantial build at 7 to 8 kg. If you want a lighter tower that moves around the kitchen more easily, the LOLA Adjustable in plywood covers the same job. You can compare both across our learning tower collection.

The frame is rated to 100 kg, so it easily takes a toddler or a preschooler, and it stays put if an older sibling leans in to watch. Solid rubberwood and the reinforced back keep it firm through daily use. Keep it to one child at a time, as the tower is built for single use.

Many families add the Kids Chef Apron and Hat Set so your little one can dress the part while they stir and pour. If you later want a version with a matching stool, the JALA Duck Stool learning tower gives a second seat for the kitchen.
