It is still the best product on the market for this purpose and since it has done such a great job with our 3 year old, we are comfortable selling it.

This is a unique item, and I don't understand why such a specialty product would not be made in the United States. Furthermore, in my communication with Carol Gamble, inventor of the Learning Tower and president of the company that produces this item, she has been unable to provide any information about the ethical business practices of her company. I find that unsettling and disheartening. I also wonder why the Learning Tower is priced so high. I really, really, realy want to have one for my one year old. She has already taken a spill off of a kitchen chair...I think the Learning Tower is such a great product. However, I will not be purchasing one due to my ethical concerns around the manufacturing of the item. I also wanted to bring these ethical concerns to you for your own thought and consideration.
