The kitchen helper tower was a fast and easy build, the modification of 16 hinges to allow the tower to fold flat was actually the most time consuming part of the build. I added clear skateboard grip tape to the platform floor. I found the hinges and griptape on ebay and most of the wood was scrap leftover from other projects.
Built from Plan(s)
Estimated Cost
$45
Estimated Time Investment
Weekend Project (10-20 Hours)
Finish Used
"Classic Red" spray paint & spray laquer for the tower frame, I stamped flowers & bugs on the platform under the griptape & clear laquered the bare sides & underside.

First off, your website is awesome and I love how you give such great directions. However, on everything I pull up all this information is on it. On this one it is not, can you help me? I really want to build this for my daughter.
Thanks so much.

Folding
How did you build it so it can be folded up?. Would you explain it or post a picture?
