Excellent!!!!
The table is the perfect size for little ones, it easily fits six pre-schoolers.I bought this item for my two children (2 and 3 yrs old) and they absolutely LOVE it.We have the matching sand-box, which I also highly recommend.

The table surface is a rough, simulated-wood finish, but wipes clean easily.The table is very sturdy, the benches can support an adult, and the umbrella fabric is much better quality than I expected.

Assembly took about 10 minutes and is easier with two adults, one to hold the table in place, and one to install the (12) screws.I installed all the screws without pre-drilling any holes and used a manual screwdriver.It was not excessively difficult, although assembly would definitely have been easier had the batteries for my cordless drill been charged.I would not recommend attempting to assemble the table by yourself, although it can be done.

This is a great product for little ones and I would recommend it to anyone with a pre-schooler.

Best table
This is the best kids table I've ever seen. The plastic won't give splinters like a wood table would. It is heavy duty so it won't tip over. The umbrella is tall and wide. This picnic-style table is perfect for small kids because there are not individual chairs for them to have to pull in and out and fumble over. They can easily step in and sit down without tripping or falling. It is comfortable seating for 4 small kids. But by the time they turn 6 years old, they will be too tall for this table. Buy it for your small ones. I'm extremely happy with ours!

LOOOOOVE IT!!!
I just bought this for my kiddos and WE love it. As far as coloring goes and getting food or what not off the surface it really doesnt seem like a big deal to me. The groves arent so deep that you cant clean it off. Besides if the child is coloring from a coloring book i dont see an issue. Even if it where one page there are always ways....**rolls eyes at other comment**
The umbrella is an awesome size, i thought it was going to be the really small cheap fabric flimsy kind...its really good quality. ... Read more

Great for your little artist!
We just got this easel for our 20 month old daughter and she LOVES it!!! It comes with a piece of chalk and a large writing tablet and didn't take too long to put together. I would definitly recommend this easel to any one with a child who loves to color.

I took my grandkids to a play group and they had this item they had so much fun that I went to buy one.they keep busy with all the online pictures you can copy keeps them


I loved it!!!

Entertaining Easel
My 2 year old son recently received this easel as a birthday present.I put it together, and he has been using it ever since.Even at 2, he takes his artwork very serious and thoroughly enjoys it.He has fun using the chalkboard side; drawing and then erasing.On the paper side, he has fun with his Crayola crayons, washable, of course.He picks out a crayon, tells me what color it is, then hands it to me and I write the first letter of the name of the color so that he can start associating colors and letters.A great educational and fun item. ...

Great Investment!Activities for many levels and interests!
I'm a mom that has to buy one toy that will serve multiple purposes.So you can imagine my joy when I came across the Music n' Play table!On the top side, it's split between a piano and activity center, then flip it over and underneath is a miniature "lego" building table.Plus, it has storage for the lego pieces!I was looking for an activity table for my 8-month old son because he likes to stand and pull himself up on things.We've had absolutely no problems with its stability. Actually, he uses it like a walker, pushing it all around the kitchen.And it easily entertains more than one child at a time.I was hoping it was available at stores in my area, but even with shipping and handling, it was well worth the price.I highly reccomend this toy, I know Colin will enjoy his Music n' Play Table for a long time.

Fun, but what's with the music?
Our 13-month old enjoys this table a lot.However it sounds like all the preprogrammed music was done in Shanghai.Vaguely American pieces are played with distinctly Chinese instruments and arrangements, basically comprising a sad-sounding fiddle, xylophones, and drums.It's some of the strangest music I've ever heard from any kids' toy (and unfortunately it's somewhat scratchy due to poor sampling or tone generation).Also be aware this item takes two sets of batteries: one for the activity area and the other for the music area.Pros: easy assembly, lots of items for the toddler to play with, and unlike many of their other toys it's one they can play with standing up.

Awsome
I'm 11 years old. I went to my cousins house and played with this toy. I couldn't stop playing. It was so much fun. When my cousins got a real keyboard they told me to play with that. I told them I didn't want to. Then they threw it away when their son stoped playing with it. I threw a tantrum ... Read more

She loves it :)
We bought this bed for our little princess and she adores it. She loves turning the light on and off, peeking through the windows and climbing all over it. I read the reviews and wasn't sure how the assembly would be but it went smoothly and was pretty quick. I've even slept in the bed with her for a couple hours and found it to be most comfy:). The high sides are great, she did fall out a couple times in the first week but we put a pillow on the floor under the sidestep so it was a cushioned landing and she went right on sleeping. We're very happy with our little fire engine.

Great Bed, but hard to understand instructions
My son will be 2 in a couple of weeks and we bought the bed for his birthday. I spent 3 hours trying to put it together. With the exception of telling you what and how many screws to put in, the instructions are only pictures. Not everyone can just look at a picture and be able to put something together. My son loves the bed, especially the light. I laid in it tonight with him and I'm not a small person, and it held up just fine.

Finally stays out of my bed!
This bed is straight from heaven! My twenty-month old son finally started to actually stay in his own bed. He never liked his crib and he is so tall that even with the mattress on the last notch he could still tople out of it. So, he slept with us. Needless to say, he loves his new bed so much he stays in it when he wakes up in the night. I know that if he does wake up quietly, he won't hurt himself trying to get out. The nightlight on a timer is a great idea, turning off after five min. Our older three sons love it too. It holds up to all of them playing in it during the day. ... Read more

Worth every penny!
Because this was such an expensive item I did my homework before purchasing the table. I looked at some cheaper tables to begin with but found that they couldn't come close to the Thomas table by Learning Curve. This table is made of solid wood and took me about 5 minutes to put together. I was able to get the playmat for free with the table through a promotion Toys R Us was having at the time of purchase. Another thing that sold me on the Thomas table was that this is the same table they have at Barrnes and Noble and you can imagine how many children play on that day after day. We have the table set up in our son's playroom since it is such a large piece. Unlike many other toys we have purchased in the past, this is one that we will save for years to come. They are expensive, but they are also made well and come with a lifetime guarantee. If you have a problem with one of their products you simply send it to them with a letter and within about 1-2 business weeks they will send you a brand new item. If you are looking to buy a train table I would highly recommend this one. Though it is more expensive, it is worth it in the long run. Why spend $80-$100 on a table that is only going to last a year or so when you can spend a little more and save it forever? One other hint...Michael's Arts and Crafts and A.C. Moore Craft Stores also carry a decent amount of the wooden Thomas toys. Look in your local paper for their 40% off coupons. They apply to Thomas and Friends which makes it a lot more affordable. :)

$$$ TRAIN TABLE PRICE IS EXTREMELY TOO HIGH****
Hello, my son is 3 and just was newly introduced to Thomas, he loves it, there are so many trains to collect from 2004 and past years. This table is so over priced, we decided also to build one $60 for materials (all oak) and a few hours and its done, personally its beautiful and stained it looks like an expensive piece, (thanks to my brother-in-law builder and my husband), if you are not as lucky to have someone in your family build it for you here is a suggestion..get in touch with your local school, or the woodshop teacher and see if you can get one of the students to build it as a project (they get graded for this) and your helping that student learn, or get plans and build it yourself, dont have the saws? your local home store may cut the wood for you. Its just a suggestion because thomas stuff is great but I would rather spend my money on the trains (which is the REAL enjoyment. Hope this helps

Time For Thomas
The Thomas train sets are great modern versions of the classic indestructible wooden train sets.Simple enough to avoid the toddler age frustrations of getting the cars to run on the track yet complex enough to engage a wide range of ages (up to and including Grandpas).All the stories help with the imagination part....the books & videos provide an endless source of adventures that can be acted out, although most kids are perfectly capable of inventing their own episodes.

Here is my advice, if you are trying to work your way through the maze of start-up options:

First of all, you can spend a fortune on a huge set....even if you can afford it, I would start with something small and give the child the joy of receiving a chain of small but intriguing presents over a long period of time.It fosters the joy of giving/receiving and helps teach them to come back again and again to the same toy...watching it grow, asking for specific items from the stories they hear, etc.Several reviewers suggest painting an old coffee table and this is a great idea.

I suggest the Figure 8 set (the most popular one) or if you want to spend a little bit more, the Conductors Figure 8 set.Both are complex enough to be interesting, but simple enough to give lots of room for growth.Almost immediately I would add a new present of one of the inexpensive engines (you can ask the child which story they like best and get that engine for them....or buy the engine to go with the video or book in the same gift)....these would be Percy The Small Engine, Bill The Yellow Engine, Treavor, (or a bit more $ for:) The Lady Engine, James The Red Engine, Gordon The Express Engine (he's one of the best stories, I think), or Henry The Green Engine.

Now for the good stuff!Give it a month or so, and then reward the child with something really cool like the Barrel Loader or Rusty the Construction 3 Car Set.

I honestly can't see the point in the huge multi hundred dollar system sets.If you want to impress the neighbors or something, go for it, but I'm telling you.....most kids will enjoy a large number of small thoughtful gifts, not a "keep-up-with-the-Jones" effort on your part.

Good behavior can be rewarded with a pick-your-own trip to the store (there are sometimes when a real time shopping trip can't be beat)

By the way, the Thomas stories are based on real restored engines that run in England on the Mid-Hants Railway Watercress line near Winchester (you can read about them an even plan a trip to ride on the real Thomas trains by checking outwatercressline.co.uk).They are a day trip from the London rail stations, although I recommend using a B&B in the Winchester area and staying overnight if you decide to go.Winchester was the center of the old Saxon kingdom of Wessex of King Alfred as well as a major early medieval site (the Cathedral has the tombs of many of the Saxon Kings as well as Jayne Austen and Izaac Walton and it was where Richard the Lionhearted was crowned.)

Get ready to learn shapes, colors, numbers, letters, face parts, animal sounds, and more with Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, and the rest of the Sesame Street gang! This Sing & Teach Table features tons of buttons and other interactive gadgets that prompt fun lessons for babies and toddlers, all in the wacky, weird voices of the Muppets. (Presumably, tots are familiar enough with the characters to understand all the squeals and growls.) The semi-circular shaped plastic table stands 12 inches high, not counting the waggling Elmo head that presides over the action. Children sit or stand at the table, lifting the Cookie Monster head to learn about "open" and "closed," spinning a drum for the alphabet song, or picking up a cell phone to hear The Count soliloquize about numbers. Bright, cheerful, and noisy--just what the toddler ordered. --Emilie Coulter ... Read more

We LOVE Elmo!
My son LOVED this toy.We bought it for him when he was 8 mos. old and he played with it non stop, that is, until IT stopped working.After only 3 months of use Elmo's head stopped working (that's what my son loved most about the toy was the moving Elmo).So we called Fisher Price3 and of course they would replace the item, but we would have to pay shipping and after paying $35.00 for a toy, I didn't think I should have to pay more for a defective toy.We were dissapointed with Fisher Price's lack of concern about the quality of their products.But for the 3 months it worked, my son loved it!It was his favorite!

Cute but Elmo's head quit moving within 3 months
My daugher LOVES this table and still plays with it, but Elmo's head is supposed to move back and forth while the music plays.She got it for Christmas and she was not rough on it at all and by Easter Elmo's head no longer moved.Other than that it still works fine and she still enjoys it.But she takes her little hand and manually moves Elmo's head back and forth and looks at him like "hey, what's wrong?"Overall a cute toy to teach about eyes, nose, ears, etc. and the alphabet.Plus good for when they are first learning to stand up.

Twin daughters LOVED it!

Not that impressed
I like the concept of storing the pieces in this toy and being able to build on top of a small table.I am not certain why the table plays music and has the spinning wheels.My daughter rarely plays with this toy and I would recommend the plain megablocks over this toy.

He loves it TOO much!
I bought this for my son's first birthday.He couldn't grasp the building concept, but loved the music and spinning wheels.So, for three months, he put on anything new he came into contact with (slippers, plastic containers, trucks, clothes, baby lotion, bottle, ANYTHING) on the spinning wheels and watched the item go around.It really kept him and us entertained, as we never knew what he would put on there next.We decided that this toy was well worth it, even if he never used the building toys with it.

At about 14 months he started to get interested in the building pieces.It was almost a little disappointing!This toy is the main toy he plays with every day.We all love it!

This toy has stood up to much abuse from my child.The legs were fine once my husband managed to get them in place (I couldn't do it).I also like that the pieces can go into the toy itself.

DS also likes to take the round pieces, roll them on the kitchen floor and chase after them.This has been a multi-purpose toy for him!LOL!

You don't have to put the batteries in it.
I bought this for my son for Xmas.He likes it a lot.But I didn't even put batteries in it till a few weeks ago and now I regret it.The little tunes get annoying and since he likes it so much, he pushes the button all the time.I like how you can store the pieces in the bottom but the legs don't stay on very well. ...

Arm Entrapment
I awoke to my child screaming because her arm was tangled in the railing and she was unable to release her arm from the railing.The side railings make it a very dangerous bed.

great bed but bought cheeper somewhere else
K-mart has the same bed for 39.99.My daughter is 2 and she loves it.But I would never pay $80.

MD Mommy
This bed is great! It was quite easy to assemble. My 2year old was very excited to have a "bid girl bed". It is quite sturdy and doesn't take up extra room. The crib mattress fit perfectly also. The side rails are a nice and safe added feature. The bed is also low enough to the ground that my daughter is able to get in and out easily which makes her feel independent. Another thing I like about this bed is that the siderails can detach so if you wanted, you could add longer siderails instead or remove them once your child is no longer rolling around in bed. Great buy! I'm very happy with my purchase! ... Read more

how to keep it clean
for those who are worried about keeping the table clean, a grill cover would help keep out leaves and dirt.this is a fun toy and I can't wait for summer so my little girl can play with hers all the time.this table could also be used inside as a sensory table.use shaving cream, streamers, pasta, rice, (rice fits into a water wheel) beans, etc.It is the items that are good in a pre-school room.also, baby doll and a wash cloth for babies bath is good inside or out.

super fun!
I just bought this water table for my 23 month old and she loves it!We already have a great sandbox outside, so we decided to look for a water-only table.We bring it inside to play with it on rainy days and take it out on our deck on good weather days.We've added lots of sea animals and bathtub squirters to play with, and measuring cups to pour water with.We also add a bit of soap to the water and give her little people and other plastic toys a bath. I also found that the plugs leak, but a bit of Glad Press and Seal seems to do the trick!Also, Step 2 is sending a set of replacement plugs that are supposed to fit tighter.Even with the drips, this toy is well worth every penny!!!

Awesome alternative to sand & water tables
I bought this water table for my 21 month old and she absolutely loves it.I was really interested in getting a play table for water, but I didn't like the idea of having both sand and water in the same table.It seemed awfully messy and we already have a sand box.And then I found this one.I put this table together in less than 5 minutes and my daughter has played with it everyday since we got it.She gets completely soaked everytime, so I change her into a swimsuit before she plays.I have not had any problems with the drains leaking as some reviewers have noted.Her older brothers have even played with it and boats that come with the table.Consider this one for your water-loving toddler. ...

This plastic table is just the thing for toddler tea parties inthe yard--or regular meals in the kitchen. Screw the four fat pink legs(it's easy, thanks to wide threads) into the plain white top, and youhave a simple, sturdy, easy-to-clean surface that's 22 inches squareand 19 inches high. The two identical blue chairs (10 inches high atthe seat, 22 inches at the comfortably rounded back) have legs thatsplay slightly, so they're very stable. The table is easy to take apartfor flat storage. You'll need to pull up some extra chairs if a lot ofstuffed animals want to join the party. --Richard Farr ... Read more

Much easier to assemble than other Little Tikes items!
The best thing about this table is all you have to do is screw in the legs and it's ready!It is durable, I'm always sitting at the table with my daughter, and it is super easy to clean.I have no complaints about this product.

Just perfect for little ones
Our two year old wanted a place to eat her cookies, color and watch tv. This Little Tikes table and chairs set is perfect for her.No tools needed for assembly, just twist legs on, and it's ready to use!There are two sturdy blue chairs with a chunky design so they're pretty stable on the floor, but of course watch for little climbers who will manage to tip over if not supervised. The white table top wipes off easily, making arts and crafts projects or drippy puddings a quick clean up.If you have to take this along for travel, it takes less than 30 seconds to disassemble.Great value, great product by a trusted name.

It would be nicer if....
This set is great for toddlers - durable, portable, cleanable, all that stuff.The thing I wish they could improve upon is the weight of the chairs.Becuase the chairs are hollow plastic, they slide extremely easily and little bottoms have a hard time steadying the chair when they try to sit.If there was some way to weigh down the legs of these chairs (just a little) I think the tot would be less frustrated when trying to sit.

Otherwise, great value - and of course Little Tikes furniture will outlast us all, so the set is well worth the cost. ... Read more

Not perfect but pretty good
We bought this chair 6 months ago when my son was 14 months old.He absolutely loves this chair and uses it constantly.He's all boy and climbs all over this chair and it has held up pretty well.My only complaint is the fabric has "balled up" and has little pills in the areas that are used often.It has gotten stained badly but I used something I got at PetSmart called Simple Solution and it cleaned the chair right up, then I used Scotchguard and it looks much better. I got rid of the pills swith a razor.All in all, I would buy it again, just Scotchgusrd it immediately.

This is such a cute chair!
We purchased the bedding set for our son last year. My mother in law found the matching chair, I was so excited to get it. Its not as nice as the bedding set, the pictures of the animals are screenprinted on the chair but its still cute, and goes nicely with the bedroom set. My son sits in his chair all the time, I can tell he is going to love it for years.

My daughter loves it!!!
My daughter received this chair as a gift for her 1st B-day.She couldn't wait for me to get it out of the box and 5 months later still loves it!She does everything in her chair.She constantly goes to it even if she is just taking a break for a second.It is cushioned and very comfortable.It is also perfect for her to get in and out of.It is wide enough that she can go in forward and turn around safely and it is low enough that she can back up to it and sit.And she feels like such a big girl because it is just like an adult chair.Also, the design is beautiful and it looks great in the living room.I would highly recommend this chair to anyone! ...

Nothing makes a little one feel all grown up more than his or her very own bed. This toddler bed features solid wood construction--no particle board here--with a soft natural finish. The headboard and footboard are nicely detailed, with lots of curved edges. This attention to detail and safety continues right on through the slats in the headboard, footboard, and two guardrails, which are all gently rounded. Designed to fit a standard full-size crib mattress, the bed measures 56-1/2 inches long, 29 inches wide, and 28-1/4 inches high. The headboard, footboard, and guardrails all come fully assembled, although these need to be put together with the seven support slats (of which there are three different types) and the two side rails that form the base of the bed. Easy to follow instructions (with lots of diagrams) as well as everything needed to complete the job--screws, barrel nuts, and even an Allen wrench--are all included. This toddler bed is not designed for children under 15 months old or over 50 pounds. --David Morel ... Read more

I think this is a good toddler bed
We bought this for our daughter as soon as she turned 2. She is 3 now, and it has been a good bed. It is very durable, my husband had no problem putting it together. My daughter loves it, and it is very nice looking. The only thing is that she moves around a lot in her sleep, and the rails weren't really enough to keep her in place...sometimes she would be half way off the bed! We are going to get her a twin bed very soon, when she turns 4 but for us, it has been a good one. I would just say that if your toddler moves around "alot" at night, then these rails don't go far enough down. We thought about buying the kind of rails that fold down and fit under the mattress and adding them near the bottom.

Assembly nightmare
The finished product is nice but assembly was a nightmare.Most childrens products are a snap but this was not, the instructions are ridiculous and because its all allen wrench screws it gets loose easily.

I like the bed, but
it didn't go together too easily, there was a crack in the wood.All the parts were there, which was a plus after all of the reviews I read prior to this.The bed has sharp corners, so I'm sometimes worried that she'll split her head open, but so far so good. ... Read more

It’s hard to overestimate how useful a solid plastic picnic table can be to any household that has young messy children running around. Indoors, it can be a perfect place for youngsters to sit and have a midday snack or get out the coloring books and engage in some creative play. On a hot day, haul the whole thing outside and use it as a pit stop for kids to fuel up on some fruit and water before heading out into the sun for more excitement. This collapsible picnic table from Little Tikes holds six small kids comfortably and looks like it can take quite a bit of the pounding that kids are bound to dish out. Collapsing it was easy but is not likely to happen by accident. The red, blue, and brown color scheme can fit in with any room décor and absorb the juice stains, crayon marks, and ball ricochets that it’s bound to receive. --Charlie Williams ... Read more

falls apart
This is by far the worst product I have ever owned from this company.It stays together for days and when my kids lean on it wrong it falls apart...and I mean all pieces a part.I would never suggest this table unless you really need to have one thatfolds up.Ours did not have the center hole so I guess ours was an older one.But buyer beware.

Great table!!!Recommended!
We bought this table for our twins when we moved and sold their high chairs.They've used it since they were 18mth (are now over 2 yrs old) and it still looks new even after *MUCH* abuse.Often I catch them standing on it jumping - but it still holds up fine.Very durable.

We don't fold it and put it away as the latches are a bit stiff and we really don't need to keep it in the closet or anything.We purchased the table because of the folding option for when we move again (military...) as we never know how much space we'll have at our next place.

We also have a 6yr old and she sits at it fine also along with the babies.We were orignally concerned that they'd outgrow it within a year or two but that doesn't seem to be the case.It will probably be around for several more years...

Just like Mommy and Daddy!!
This picnic table idea is just what the doctor ordered, to coin a phrase, and not only is it a durable item, but it's also mobile, and you can bring it outside or put it on the porch.Our girls have colored on it, ate on it, and played with their toys on it, and it's so easy to clean up after them, and the table has these great primary colors and is very attractive.We love it.And we recommend it, too!! ...

BRAVO Step2!
I purchased this bed and was surprised that the converter kit is included. It took approx. 40mins to put together. Pieces slide in easier with liquid soap. A power drill is advisable. Very easy instructions. It is a beautiful bed, and the conversion kit looks very easy to assemble. You are supplied 4 pieces (which are marked A or B) to add to the ends of the bed to lengthen the bed, and then add the twin mattress. It is quite a deal, for the price. You get both the enjoyment of the toddler bed, and then save $ on the price of a twin bed. My daughter (13mos)uses the bed to play in as well as sleep in. I have another toddler bed, which I had to use a siderail for, but am so much happier with this one. The siderails are high enough that I don't have to worry about her falling out even though she rolls alot.
If you purchase this bed from the store, take pieces out of the box and you should be able to fit it in a minivan, van, or SUV. Hope this review helps you.

God Bless!

question
can anyone tell me if you buy this from toys r us...does the conversion kit come with it or do you have to buy it seperately. please help i love this bed and want to know about this issue.

we love this bed!!
THIS BED IS SO CUTE. I WISH I HAD ONE WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. IT IS VERY STRONG AND IT ISNT TOO HIGH OFF THE FLOOR BUT I WILL GET THE SIDE RAILS FOR THE BED BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER MOVES AROUND A LOT AND I DONT WANT HER FALLING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. IF YOUR ARMS ARE A LITTLE WEAK YOU MAY NEED HELP PUSHING THE PEICES TOGETHER,, I ACTUALLY HAD TO KICK THEM IN WITH MY LEGS,, THEN I WOULD RECOMMEND USING A POWER DRILL THERE ARE A FEW SCREWS THAT YOU NEED TO PUT IN, IT WOULD MAKE IT EASIER. ALSO TO TRANSPORT THIS GIANT BOX HOME,, YOU WILL NEED A EMPTY MINI-VAN OR A BIG SUV. I HAVE A HONDA CRV AND IT WASNT BIG ENOUGH. ALL IN ALL WE LOVE THE BED AND EVERY PRINCESS SHOULD HAVE ONE!!! ...

As any parent knows, a strong, durable, easily cleaned piece of furniture canbe an incredibly valuable thing. This friendly plastic picnic table and bench set fromLittle Tikes fits the bill. With bright, friendly colors, it's big enough to fit up to foursmallish kids for a quick snack or art project. When you're done, it collapses flat for easystorage. It's light enough and flat enough to throw in the hatchback or minvan or tuckunder the couch. Since it's plastic, stains wash away easily. Although it comes in onepiece, assembly can be a bit tricky and is best left to grownups. --John Moe ... Read more

a table for ALL the kids!
We wanted a picnic syled table for our 3 year old b/g twins and our 8 month old b/b twins. We were in luck when finding this gem, our basement is ALWAYS cluttered so the more the compact the better. Well they love this table (though the 8 month olds pull up a little tikes chair, they need a back). There are no chairs that get in the way and windup away from the table. You can fit alot of kids here, and there is a nice workspace. We use this for arts and crafts and for eating snacks. Its really easy to collaps and to bring back up, (we keep it under the couch downstairs, just barely fits! well the couch is about 1 1/2 inches infront of the wall, so its a little extra room). The kids climb on it, color on it, jump off and on it, and pull it around, (its light weight) yet the table still held up and looks like new. I likethat its not another piece of furniture that you have to keep out constantly, (i.e kitchens, toy houses, tool benches, ect...) this my easle and my pop-up tent are the only pieces of toddler furniture/large toys that fold away for easy storage. I recomend this for a family with multiple children, or for an outdoor table, though I wouldnt recomend this for a kids bedroom table, as its a little TOO big for that!

Cool Play Table for Kids !
Well I know that I am 9 a teen ,but I like to sit in this table even I can still fit.It's a great table not only for kids up to 5 also for me who's just 9 yr old teenager.

A good, sturdy table
We purchased this table for our 20 month old son for Christmas.He loved it right away.We have used it inside through the winter for crafts and whatnot and put it outside on the deck this Spring.My son loves to eat at his own table like a big boy.It's great for a kiddie table when we have company with kids. ...

My son is in love with Spider man!
He really is, I think its because spider-man is a "guy" thing, and he is a twin, b/g, 3 years old. My twins tend to like to have their own thing. We have this pull out sofa in the den, so they can watch t.v closer or just nap on it or sit on it. He enjoys jumping on it and my 8 month old twin boys like to crawl on it and "pull-up on it". It is sturdy, and its just foam so it couldnt really be harmful. Its very cute and very easy to move (kitchen to upstairs to den to basement...) and we even have a few more spider-man chairs, but none of them are better than, the spider-man futon (thats what my son called it after hearing mommy and daddy say it). It is very cute and a nice couch for your little one to call thier own!

LOVE IT!
MY SON LOVE THIS SOFA, I HAVE A 3 YR OLD AND HE RECEIVED THIS AS A GIFT.IT IS PERFECT FOR HIM.MY DAUGHTER WHO IS 7 YRS OLD SIT WITH HIM TOO. I THINK SHE IS TO BIG FOR IT, BUT SHE SEEMS TO FIT JUST AS WELL.I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS, THE SOFA HAS NICE COLORS AND IT IS EASY TO CLEAN AND A GREAT ADDITION TO YOU LITTLE ONES SPIDERMAN COLLECTION. MY SON OPEN IT UP AND LAY DOWN AND FOLDS IT UP ALL BY HISSELF.

Too small to be called a sofa
Should be listed as a love-seat or large chair. It is way too small for two kids to sit comfortably. ... Read more

Great Buy
I bought this chair for my daughter when she was 14 mos, she loves it, it is perfectly designed for their bodies no matter if your toddler is on the larger size or not, the seat is very comfortable, and it has a cup holder, sometimes my daughter just uses it for that.The back of the chair folds down for storage, my daughter loves to fold it down and sit on it like a stool or use it as a step stool she is now two years old and climbs and steps all over it, so far it still looks brand new and we love it.

Nice Chair Indoors or Outdoors
Great little chair for your little one. Top folds down for easy store away and has a cup holder, something kids love! We use it outside in the summertime and inside when its colder out. Its a great chair to set up to watch tv also. Comfy for kids, built in cup holder, fun colors makes them happy.. and stores away when needed for us.

too much like a potty
I bought this chair because I felt it would be a safe bet - our previous outdoor child's chair tipped over too easy. This one has a wide base and so is not easily tipped. However, one thing I didn't plan on - the yellow back folds down. Like the lid of a potty. My 20 month old son thinks he has to put the lid down! I just hope he doesn't think it is an outdoor potty seat! HA!Unfortunately, he put the seat back down and THEN sat on it - and promptly flipped over backward. Sigh. ... Read more

We all love this bed!
We decided to go with this toddler bed after looking at almost everything out there.My son is 2 1/2 and LOVES his new "big-boy" bed.My husband and I were very impressed with how easily it went together, our son even "helped" us too.We haven't had many problems with him sleeping in it, but the only complaint I have is that the side rails aren't very high.My son did fall out of it once.Overall we are very happy with the quality and the price of this bed.

Great for Price & time used
After reading some of the reviews, I decided to go to Toy R Us and see for myself what the bed looked like.I looked and thought for the price, it looked pretty good!I didn't buy a toddler bed for my first son, but I decided one might be good for my second. I figured that there would be noway he would stay in this bed until he was 5 (my older son is almost 4 and looks almost silly lying in this bed!!) & didn't want to spend a whole lot of money.Anyway, my husband put it together in 15 min. and it seems great. Very low to the ground and I think it'll be perfect for the time we use the bed until my son is ready for the twin size!I'd recommend this bed...my only wish is that it had rounded edges on the headboard and footboard!!

Great value for the price!Wish rails were taller
This bed is a great value for the price.It is fairly simple to put together and incredibly sturdy.We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the bed.I only have 2 complaints - 1) one side rail had a chip and the finish is now splitting and peeling away and 2) the side rails only come up maybe 3 inches over the mattress.These are not tall enough to really keep our daughter from falling out of the bed.She is old enough now (2.5 yrs) that I'm not too worried about it but if your child moves around a lot in their sleep, you may need to use some sort of extra rail.Overall, we are very happy with the bed and our daughter absolutely loves it.The color and style are beautiful and it looks great in her room. ...
