Recommendation - Wooden baby walker with blocks

Hi I'm looking to get a walker for my 10 month old son and was thinking of the wooden trolly with blocks type as I know my little bro loved his.
But any of them i've looked up have VERY varied reviews from JL and elc and argos. Some reviews will say great and others will say very unstable.
DS is cruising and hovering but not walking yet so I need a stable one.

Any recommendations??
He has the vtec one at his grandparents and loves the activity part but the plastic wheels are very fast on the wooden floors so we can't let him walk with it yet.
Thanks

My baby got a wooden walker from Asda for Christmas. I bet they're still doing them. It's got a little shape sorter but in too

We've got this one www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-wooden-baby-walker-and-bricks/p231202165 Got it for DDs first birthday, she wasn't even pulling up to standing then so started using it from when she could just stand and was very wobbly and it's been great, very sturdy. It has rubber bits on the wheels so has good grip, at one point when she'd been walking for a bit she got frustrated because she couldn't turn it very well so (on recommendation of some friends who have the same one) we just removed the rubber bits - very easy to slip off - so that was all good. She's now approaching three and still uses it frequently, takes out the blocks and sorts and stacks them, uses it as buggy for her toys so I'd consider it a good investment.

I'm sure I've seen a wooden brick trolley in Ikea - no idea what it's like as at the time baby was too young for it so I didn't look closely.

We've got the one from IKEA, it's brilliant and much cheaper than the Brio version. No blocks, though.

I have one for DS. It was a gift. You need one with handle fastened forward of the back wheels so that it doesn't tip when the child pulls up. DS loves it.
