Description

The STEP UP brings your toddler up to counter height so they can wash their hands, stir the bowl and see what you are doing, instead of pulling at your leg while you cook.

Three height settings mean it keeps working as they grow, from eighteen months right through to five or six. The connectors sit hidden inside the frame, so there are no visible fittings and nothing for small fingers to catch on. It is light enough to carry to the bathroom for teeth brushing or over to the window to water the plants.

15mm birch plywood, rated to 50kg, and certified to three European furniture standards.

FAQ

What age is it for?
From eighteen months, once your child is walking confidently and can climb the first step unaided. The three height settings mean most families get use out of it until around five or six.

How do I change the height?
The platform lifts out and drops into a different set of connectors. It takes a couple of minutes and the fittings stay hidden inside the frame.

How is this different from the STEP'n'FOLD?
The STEP UP has three height settings and a slightly larger frame. The STEP'n'FOLD has two heights but folds flat to 12cm for storage. Pick the STEP UP if you have somewhere to keep it, the FOLD if space is tight.

How is this different from the STEP'n'SIT?
The STEP'n'SIT converts into a table and chair. The STEP UP adjusts in height instead.

Why are learning towers so expensive?
Most of the cost is in making something a toddler can lean on without it tipping. This one is 15mm birch plywood, rated to 50kg and tested to three separate European furniture standards.

Does it come assembled?
No, it arrives flat packed with printed instructions and a video guide.

Why Ette Tete

It started in a basement in Latvia. In 2016 Linda watched the children upstairs while Krišjānis built the first helper tower in the basement. Their eldest, then two, called everything "ette". Ten years on, the name stuck and so did the idea.

Bought once, not replaced twice

The cheap towers get outgrown, wobble, or end up in a garage. These adjust, convert and fold, and they hold 50kg. Most families use one piece for four years or more.

Made carefully, tested properly

Rounded edges, hidden fixings and a 50kg load rating. Tested to EN 17191, EN 14183 and EN 12520, and approved for sale in the UK, EU, US, Canada and Korea.

Still made by the same family

An 860m² workshop near Tinuzi with 33 people, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified. Baltic birch sourced locally, cut on their own machines, packed in paper rather than plastic.
