While the shipping times aren't super quick (understandably), the quality and ease of assemble make it absolutely worth the wait. My toddler loves it and it has made it so much more fun and easy to involve him in making snacks, washing hands, fruits and veggies, and preparing meals. It's really easy for him, even being pretty little for his age, to get up and I am not at all concerned about him falling out. One of my favorite purchases in the past year!
