A fun toy
Everyone knows that easels are a great toy for children, they encourage creativity and give them a reason to turn off the tv... My son has this easel, and it is really nice, I just wish that when they constructed it they would have bothered to put holes in the wide trays so when water or paint is spilled in them, it can drain out. As it is, I have to invert the entire easel to drain the trays. (Yes, this is an outdoor toy.) The only other major drawback to this easel is that the pad of paper that is provided is quickly used up, and I don't know where to find replacement pads. My son (who is a young 4) loves to draw on the plastic chalkboard side with his sidewalk chalks, and enjoys painting when I can find paper to use with it. Assembly was not as easy as we'd hoped, my husband is a real Mr. Fix-it and this gave him a little trouble. It was also missing a small part. BUT all these things aside, I would reccomend this to a friend, and I think your child would have fun with it also.

Most durable one out there - like new after 4 children!
This is just a great toy. Ours has gone through 4 children, 3 of them boys, and it's still like new. Little Tikes makes things that last forever and this is no exception. The trays snap off for easy cleanup, but stay on when needed by children. It's just so much fun for them to be able to draw on one side and paint on the other at the same time. We buy the finger paint sets and use the paper that is included in them and also, they make extra paper sets sold separately that provides the slippery side needed for finger painting. I love how easily this easel cleans up and requires very little maintenance. A great buy for a lot of fun!

Disappointment
How can you review something that is missing parts and you can't use? After trying to pick out the perfect easel for our grandson who just turned 3 - we picked this one because of the reviews it received. You cannot imagine how upset we were the evening before we were to travel to Richmond to give it to him, already put together when we were missing major parts. Too late to call the store to correct the mistake and we are leaving very early in the morning before the stores will be open again. You would think that when you purchase something that all the parts would be in place - especially something for a child. So, we head to Richmond tomorrow morning - with a new broken birthday present for our grandson. This is not acceptable - and will be last item I purchase from Little Tikes. I've called Little Tikes and left a message for them, but this won't fix the face that I will see in the morning when I tell him his birthday present isn't ready yet and he can't play with it. Come on people - if you have a job - at least do it right!

Great toy--even secondhand!!
I bought this easel used and it was still in perfect shape after being played with at a daycare. We are using it outdoors and plan to use it inside all winter. My 2 year-old loves to hide inbetween the easel for fun, paint, and use the chalkboard. I love the removeable trays. I do wish it was height-adjustable--or at least the paper clip was, but that's ok. We just use clothespins to pin 2 pieces of paper together to "lower" the paper.

BEWARE of chalkboard
I have brought home 4 different easels, and ALL of them have had broken chalkboards. As another review said, it is a very sharp plastic material and can be very dangerous for young children. I'm going back again today to see if I can find another one that is not broken. The manufacturer needs to be aware of this defect!!!! ... Read more

My son loves it, but its a little wobbly
My son just loves this toy. He is 13 months old, and he returns to it several times per day. That said, his interest is almost entirely in the piano portion, which is detachable. So far, he has no interest in the "lego-like" things. He does play with the other half (little creatures which move and make noise), and enjoys them, but not as much as the piano. Of course, he has many music toys, and comes to this more often because it is raised, and as a pre-walker, he prefers to stand.

Problem: he loves to climb, and tries to climb ONTO this table all the time. It is way to wobbly (spelling?) for that, so I'm constantly telling him not to do that. He does seem to be learning, but I still have to keep an eye on him. However, I wouldn't trade this toy for any other he has right now. Not a day has gone by that he hasn't spent 30-60 minutes at it throughout the day since it arrived. ... Read more

Expensive, but great quality
I was really torn over whether this table justified it's price; especially since it doesn't include the play top, which you have to buy seperately. Despite the price, I do have to say, I'm very happy with the quality of the product.

When the table arrived the box was dinged, but thankfully the contents inside were well packed with styrofoam and cardboard protecting each piece.

The wood is high quality with easy to connect fastners. Very stable. The train images on the side of the table and on the legs are great. They weren't stickers, but actually some kind of high quality painted image that has a very durable finish on it. Some of the train images even have a full plastic face piece for Thomas and each of his friends.

The table is well designed for a toddler's height and the allows them to reach to the center.

Needless to say my 2 year old son loves it! He wakes up in the morning, says choo choo and runs out to go play at the table.

Not a sturdy table
My sister in law bought this table for her 2 yr old son for Xmas....it is way overpriced for what it is....i wanted to buy one for our sons but could not see spending that much money on such a cheap table. So my husband ended up buying plans to build your own train table and built our sons their own with built in drawers and (...) and it is way nicer and sturdier than the Thomas one. Yes they can all stand on it...! We painted it in Thomas colors and decorated it and it is the nicest looking table i have ever seen and all the kids love it!!!! you can build one in about 8 hrs or so....worth it!!! this will be handed down to the next generations...

Substitute for the table/frame/
We admired the table for really long time and saw that it's worth spending money but decided to figure out smth cheaper. So we painted our old coffee table almost the same Thomas blue color and attached the board to it. Our 2year son loves it and doesn't really care if it's the same table/frame/or not. We spray painted the table and hope it will work for a long while.

AWESOME TABLE!
Toys r us had a super deal where you buy the table and get the top free. With the price being so high, we feel we got a GREAT deal. My son loves this table. We got for him for his 2nd birthday. It was simple to put together and is so durable. Not like the other cheap pine/particle board tables you see. The graphics are so bright and my son is always pointing to the sides and saying choo choo. Great investment.

Expensive - but worth the money for it's durability
I umm and aahh about spending this sort of money on a train table for my children but after doing my homework I decided this is the one I would buy.

Other train tables I have seen in stores are often wonky and seem quite unstable - and this is after they've been played on in the stores. So after seeing poorer quality tables for similar prices I decided to save up for the Thomas branded one (also bought the one-sided play table board to go with it).

Yes, it's expensive, but as with all any "brand", it's the name you are paying for. If you want a Thomas collection of trains and accessories you are going to have to pay. I'm just starting our collection and am buying the "Thomas" trains and buildings, but found a compatible generic track for less than half the price. I was lucky enough to get this table at almost half price at a after Christmas sale. It's worth waiting for sales and price comparing.

Having said all that - we have found the table to be excellent. It's at the right height for all our children (4, 3 and 1 year old) and me when I'm sitting on the floor playing with them. There is also plenty of room underneath to have some good sized storage containers for all your pieces of train track and other accessories.

The table frame is packed very well to protect the 3D train faces that are on two sides of the table. It's beautifully painted and when it's put together is extremely strong (although I wouldn't recommend standing on it).

Now that we have this table I no longer have to nag the kids about getting their train tracks off the lounge room floor, they can leave their "town" up for days until they want to change it. We also have a great table for their other car/train sets, or Little People towns or Duplo Creations.

It's up to you to spend to decide if you want to spend this sort of money but I see this as something I won't ever have to replace and it's something my son can keep for his children. Toys like this will last! ... Read more

What a Great Bed
I bought this bed because they didnt have the train toddler bed which i prefer. It was a nightmare to put together and if you dont do it right the screws do not seem long enough. It took me 6 tries to secure the screws. i had to smush it together and screw it in at the same time. It holds my weight jumping on it. so im completely satisfied with safety. my son loves the red light and he likes jumping on it. we are still adjusting to him having a bed. its not to big that it looks horrible in his room...
io can definitely see where you would have problems putting it together and not having long enough screws. You might need a drill to get the little decorations on the side to go on though.

I also had big problems with this bed's construction
Like the previous reviewer. I noted that the screws that were supplied to hold the frame of the bed together were not nearly long enough to secure it. In fact, they did not even penetrate the plastic, and when we lifted the side wall it completely fell apart. I wonder if there was an incorrect shipment. We even used a power drill. The bed is adorable, however, and I am hoping that with some new screws it can be made safe. If not, we will be returning it.

A mom
I think this is a great bed!! When my son was old enough to move into a toddler bed this was the best choise. He never complained about getting into his bed - now 2 years later he still loves it and as much as he did when we first got it. I dont know how I am going to get him to move into a bigger bed when the time is ready. This bed is VERY durable, and I have never had any problems. The light is perfect because if my son gets scared at night he turns the light on without getting out of bed. I reccomend this product to every parent who does not want to spend a lot of money, but wants their child to remember there first bed when they get older!

Not so safe
I purchased this bed last December as a Christmas present for my 2 year old son. He loves to play in it but still prefers to sleep in his crib. Yesterday while playing in it, the bed completely fell apart and when I attempted to put it back together I realized that the necessary screws that hold the bed together weren't even long enough to attach the bed properly. I am extremely disappointed in this product and I have e-mailed Step2 and am waiting for a response. Parents be careful, and make sure if you do already own this bed that everything fits correctly. I thought my bed did, luckily my son was unharmed.

Great bed!!!
My son absolutely adores this bed, especially the little red light on top! We initially had problems with the light going through too many batteries, but I e-mailed the company (Step2) and they immediately sent me a new one at no charge, no questions asked. This is a great little bed. Safe, durable, cute - I really recommend it. My little boy is pretty spirited, and I have all the confidence in the world that this bed can handle anything he can dish out! ... Read more

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

Your child will love climbing into this Roadster Toddler Bed with its sleek styling and authentic wheel and hubcap details, downshifting into "low" gear, and gently cruising into a long night of restful sleep. Made of sturdy, double-wall plastic, the bed frame is modeled after the body of a sports car and is sized for a standard crib mattress that can be mounted on a mattress support or a sheet of pre-cut plywood (not included). Adult assembly requires pliers and slotted and Phillips head screwdrivers. Measures 68 inches by 40.5 and 20 inches. Assembly instructions included.--Chris Burns ... Read more

Durable enough for "hand-me-downs", also comes in 2 sizes!
We just bought a 2nd-hand Roadster Toddler Bed from a family who owned it for 5 years and it STILL looks brand new! Little Tikes makes very durable toys and furniture that allow "hand-me-downs" to last. I also like the fact that LT makes this Roadster bed in two sizes: toddler bed size and standard twin size. If your little guy is so attached to his toddler bed now, there can be less fuss when he outgrows it...just move up to the next size! The only negative thing about the toddler bed is that there is no mattress support included with the bed (new or used beds). Springs or coils are usually built into the crib mattress so there is no separate box spring to use. You have to buy separate slats or plywood to hold the mattress up.

My son and I loooooove this bed.
We purchased this bed for my son a few months ago, we have another baby on the way and this bed looked fun and durable. We had no trouble putting it together, then we bought plywood for the bottom support, works great. My son loves it and it seems really comfy to him (17 months old now). We are expecting another boy so I think when he gets old enough for the toddler bed, we will get our first son the twin size one. I love little tykes products and will continue to purchase them, they always are great quality.

Found a snug mattress
I am currently living in Australia and it was time for our boy to have a new bed. We were about to purchase a new bed from the USA and have it shipped, but where my husband works someone was selling one as their child had grown out of it. We bought it, it was in GREAT condition and brought it home. It had a mattress in it that was purchased with the bed from the USA and it didn't fit very snug, so we pulled out his Australian crib bed mattress and it fits perfect, absolutely no room on the sides, and a cm or two down the bottom. You have to pull the mattress up to put the fitted sheet on, like you do with most small beds, but it fits so much better than the toddler mattresses back home in the USA.

HOW CUUUTE!!!!!!
WELL I NEEDED A BED FOR MY ONE YEAR OLD SON.IT WAS SO HARD FOR ME TO PICK THE PERFECT BED FOR MY SON.AT FIRST I WAS GOING TO BUY HIM A TWIN SIZE BED.EVERYONE WOULD TELL ME HOW IF I BUY HIM A TODDLER BED HE'D GROW OUT OF IT SO QUICK, THEN I REMEMBERED MY LITTLE BROTHER HAD THE EXACT SAME BED WHEN HE WAS SMALL AND IT LASTED HIM FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS.WHY SHOULD I NOT GET MY SON A COOL BED FOR HIM RIGHT NOW AND LATER ON BUY HIM A NICE TWIN SIZE BED THAT WILL SUIT HIS AGE GROUP?FINALLY I STOPPED LISTENING TO EVERYONE AND DECIDED TO BUY IT. IT'S GREAT.HE LOOKS SO CUTE IN IT.HE LOVES TO CLIMB UP ON IT, HUG HIS BLANKY, AND GO TO SLEEP.WE THEN GOT A BUNKIE BOARD FOR THE SUPPORT(THAT WAS OUR ONLY DOWNSIDE).OTHER THAN THAT IT IS A GREAT BED TO PURCHASE YOUR LITTLE ANGEL.

happy with car bed
We purchased this bed for our 16 month old. He loves it! I want to thank the reviewer who recommended the "bunkie board." I was nervous about purchasing this item when I read the other reviews about the problems with the space around the matress and using cardboard as support. The description of this bed should bodly state thst it doesn't come with a support and recommend the "bunkie board" (it was $14.95- I bought it through kidrus.com. I want to thank other reviewrs for pointing out this problem, and I want to thank the reviewer who wrote about the "bunkie board." Both made our purchase very easy, and our son is enjoying his new bed! ... Read more

Meager value
I bought this bed...and had to call in reinforcements to help me put it together. It was very difficult to assemble, the pieces did not fit together well. My daughter has been using this bed for about a year now and it is beginning to splinter (she is only 3 years old). It will hold up for a couple of more years by what I can tell of it, but I wouldn't highly recommend this bed for someone who intends to reuse it for more than on child.

Can't put it together
I made the mistake of taking apart my daughter's crib before putting this toddler bed together. Big mistake!! The bed came with the missing pieces and could not be assembled. I could not get in touch with the company because it was a Saturday. So my daughter has been sleeping on her mattress on the floor!! ... Don't waste your time!

A GOOD BUY ...
This bed was a good buy for our 3 year old! She loved getting into her big girl bed! Although it's getting smaller, and soon we'll have to get a twin size bed. But this is in excellent condition and was very easy to assemble. As for the weight limit, it can handle my 190 lb. husband sitting on the bed with my daughter!

Damage boxes, dent, cracks you name it
This is the first time we ever order furniture from Amazon, boy am I sorry!!, The quality of the bed is so so, the bars & rails are alot skinnier than I though, the paint were not even, the legs are rather skinny.we didnt expect much quality for this price but this is lower than we imagin. The boxes looked damage, previoulsly opened & taped, the heaboard has several dents & paints chip off, the worse part is the legs of heaboard is completly split from bottom....we are waiting for a replacemnt now, if the new one is still like this, I am asking for my refund,,,& never buy any furniture from them.. ...

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

I love this set!
After searching for a long time for the perfect table and chairs for my daughter, I decided this one is it!! As soon as I assembled it, she was sitting at the table eating her dinner! Now she only wants to eat at the table, like a big girl. This set has been colored on, stood on, sat on and is still in great shape. The chairs have been knocked over, stood on, dragged around the house and arent even dented! My daughter eats at this table, plays here, and colors at the table. She loves it, and I love it too. The colors are fantastic for a boy or a girl, and its so pretty! The details in the chairs and table legs make it a lovely set. My parents have a little tikes set from my "baby" (20 year old) brother that is still in the backyard for the grandchildren to play with, so I know this set will last and last. My only issue with this set is that I had a really hard time getting crayon off of the table surface, and that the chair seat is pretty small. I know Im not exactly supposed to fit, but I can on the other little tikes sets. (big primary etc) Otherwise, its easy to assemble, inexpensive, good looking, a great deal!

Great set for the price!
After looking at several table and chair sets for our 18 month old daughter, we chose this set for it's price and appearance. We wanted something that our child would have fun with while not having to worry about her ruining a good piece of furniture. We made the right choice! This set is so adorable and very durable. Our daughter loves to have tea parties and color at this table. Crayon just wipes right off. Although she is still a little short to sit on the chairs by herself, she is able to sit comfortably and we know she will get much use out of this table for years! I would definitely recommend this table to parents who are looking for a cute and sturdy table for a reasonable price!

Great table for your little one!
We bought this toy for Emma for xmas and she loves it. It's very sturdy and durable. She gets hours of enjoyment out of out. She even eats her own meals at it. Highly recommended~

Great furniture for great kids
Last Christmas Santa brought our very special grand daughter this table, chairs and matching pink toy box.

This is an excellent set of furnishings for a toddler. They love having meals, color and art time, anytime on a table their own size table. The colors are pretty and the pieces are very durable. (Plastic doesn't get termites, worm wood or chipped!!!)

Another thing to consider, as I was first big on getting our little princess "painted heirloom wooden furniture". A toddler doesn't usually appreciate expensive stuff. These pieces are durable, cheap and if your little prince or princess "marks it up a bit" you're not going to have a stroke because it's affordable. Save the big buck furniture for when their older and will appreciate the finer things in life. For a toddler it doesn't get much better then Little Tikes!!!!!!!!!

Sturdy chairs, Easy to assemble, Additional chairs available
I bought this table and chair set today at my local TRU. Before I opened the box, I called Little Tikes to make sure I could buy more chairs. I have three daughters and watch a little boy, so two chairs just won't do. However, TRU didn't have anything with more than two, and Little Tikes has rarely failed me in the past so I chose this set. ...

When I assembled the table, it was a snap...or should I say screw? Literally all I had to do was screw the pink legs into the table top. I think it took me longer to open the box than it did to set up the table. The chairs are all one piece plastic.

The table is a tad wobbly, which is why I gave it a 4 on durability. I have no doubt that one of my kids will attempt to stand on it the instant my back is turned. I don't feel that it will collapse, but it will wobble enough, in my opinion, to set them off balance. My youngest daughter is 18 months old and a little on the short side, but she has no problems sitting in the chairs.

This purchase was a long time coming for me. I considered for a time a nice wooden set, but in the end decided that the durability and fun appeal of a Little Tikes product outweighed the cutsie-sophisticated idea of a wooden set. Plus there will inevitably be crayon and marker scribbles, jelly and yogurt spills, and toy hammer misses...I would rather my kids learn and enjoy themselves on a plastic set that can take it than worry and protect a wooden set and hinder them.

NOTE: The extra chairs arrived today, one week after I called and ordered them from LT. My experience with their Customer Service department was excellent and highly efficient. Most importantly, there's no more fights over who's turn it is to sit in the chairs! ... Read more

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

Perfect size for toddlers
I purchased this bed along with Flower Fields 4 Piece Toddler Set for my 15 month old daughter. And she loves it ! She hasn't even fell out once. The ajustment from crib to toddler bed has been so easy. Definetly worth the money.

Nice, inexpensive toddler bed, but...
This "starter" bed arrived very quickly (two days to Alaska) and was very simple to assemble--we hardly even had to read the instructions. Our only complaint was that the headboard and footboard were not wrapped in the box (other parts were) and therefore had some significant scratches from bouncing against each other. I will be calling the company to request either a discount or replacement. Overall, however, this bed seems to be pretty well made and sturdy, especially considering the cost. My son, 17 months, took to it right away. We recommend this bed and feel it is worth the price, even with shipping costs.

2 Year Old Twins Fall Out Several Times A Night!!
We purchased these beds for our 2 year old toddlers because they were able to climb our of their cribs and we were concerned for their safety. Well, the side rails are way too short and both my twins fall out several times a night scaring the life out of them! They are now terrified to even go to sleep in them at all.
Before purchasing these beds please consider whether your children move around alot while sleeping, like ours do, and remember it's VERY easy to fall out.

The best buy ever!
I was apprehensive about buying this bed after reading reviews that it was so difficult to put together. I couldn't believe it! I had the bed together in less than a half hour (and I'm not that good at assembly). It was very easy to do and the instructions are simple and straightforward. My son loves the bed as well as his new independence. I would definitely recommend this toddler bed. It's inexpensive and a good purchase. It's sturdy and looks good. My son loves it!

Great Toddler Bed
Had planned on using the toddler conversion of my daughter's bed, but it was still too tall for her at 12 months so we purchased this bed for her. She felt like a "big girl" immediately and it really gave her a sense of independence to get in and out of bed alone. Well worth the money because you can use the crib mattress for this bed as well!!!! ... Read more

Editorial Review

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

best gift ever!
My family loves this table. We use it in our kitchen for crafts and snacks/meals. When company comes over, it's the "kiddie table". It's sooo much better than having the kids destroy our wood table. If you have a smaller kitchen, like me, it's fabulous b/c you can fold it down and store it in your garage, or another room!

THe middle cracks ARE annoying, but I just clean them out with a sponge. For me, the worst part is the hole. My kids put food down it, which falls on the floor. I WILL be taping that up soon!

Excellent for toddlers & preschoolers
I bought this table as a birthday present for our 2 year old son. I decided to get this larger one since we also have a very tall 4 1/2 year old. They abosolutely LOVE this table. They play at it with a picinic set outside, playdoh, water, sand, eat lunch at it, etc. It's big enough to accomodate them both plus friends with plenty of leg room. If it gets really grubby, you can spray it off with a hose, or make it a game of clean-up with the kids equipped with a bucket of water & paper towels! The cup holders in the middle are pretty pointless, but very easy to clean out. I can already see that I'm going to have to set this up inside this winter, because it's used daily. We have even brought it into the dining room to use as childrens seating when we have lots of friends over. I can't reccommend this table enough! Well worth the money & super durable!!

Great Table-Indoors and Out!
My son got this table for his 2nd birthday and it's used frequently. I do agree that setting it up and folding it for storage can be difficult. The little support "brackets" are pretty flimsy but careful finessing on our part has proven beneficial in that nothing has broken (yet!). This table stays outside all summer and we bring it inside for the winter so the kids can use it downstairs for playing house and crafts/coloring projects. It cleans up easy with soap and water and they love the cupholders. I can see where 3 or more at the table at a time would fight over only 2 cupholders though. All around, we're very happy with this table.

Great Table but HARD HARD HARD to get locked into place
I agree with other posters that I was fairly certain I would snap the plastic pieces that you are supposed to pull up to lock for support. It was equally as hard to take down but I did it first day so I could return it if it broke. I have kept the receipt and plan to test that opening and closing a good bit in the next 30 days to be sure it is O.K. I can't leave it outdoors so I really need the fold away option. If I did not need to fold it away, I would go with another brand that stays up all the time. :)

Nice table but not what it is advertised as
Easy store insinuates that it is easy to fold up and store. In fact it says that right on the sticker attached to the table when new. It is anything but. It is extremely difficult to snap the flimsy plastic stays under the table into place. I can't believe I got them in there without breaking them. We have to leave the table up though, therefore we cannot fold it up and store it because it is absolutely, unequivocally IMPOSSIBLE to get the plastic stays back out once they are snapped in place without breaking them. This is a very poorly designed table. The dirt and kool aid collector in the center of the table wasn't such a smooth move either. For basic funtion and durability, the table is really great. Too bad the engineering flaws ruin what is otherwise a pretty good product. ... Read more

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

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.

We LOVE This Bed!!
My 2 year old daughter started wanting to sleep in "mommies bed" every night, and at nap times, and not in her crib. So I knew it was time for her own "big-girl bed." When I ordered this bed, I also ordered the Sesame Street bedding set, because she's crazy about Elmo, and the Sealy Mattress. I put the picture of the bed that shows the Sesame Street bedding on it, on the wall of her bedroom, and said, "Look, there is your new "Big-girl bed!" She loved it, and referred to it as "her bed" when showing the picture to family and friends that came over. The bed came quickly, was EASY TO ASSEMBLE, was good quality, and looked beautiful. What a great value! Within a couple of days, my daughter was completely comfortable climbing in her new bed, and going right to sleep. And everyone who sees her bed has a fit over how adorable it is! We love this bed!!! Thanks so much!!

very happy
I put this bed together with the help of my 2 1/4 year old son, it went together smoothly and I thought the quality was very good. He was very excited from the get-go, and helped change over the crib mattress and set up the sheets, blankets, his stuffed animals and pillows. Putting him to bed in it took a little longer the first night, as he was very excited, but he slept well. I'm happy with it and glad that I did not have to go through the higher expense of a twin bed, mattress, sheets, etc. I also like that it's low to the ground vs. a twin bed.

Difficult to put together
We bought this because of the price and we have a crib from the same company that we like very much. This bed was VERY difficult to put together. the rails that hold the headboard and footboard together were bowed so it made it that much more difficult to put the slats in to hold the mattress and we still couldnt get it tight enough at the head of the bed so one slat is still wobbly. They also dont tell you exactly what screws to use when you put the guardrails on they say you can use any that are left in what ever hole and thats not the case. It looks very nice for 'put together' furniture but its incredibly difficult to put together.

I'm so impressed!
I was so impressed with the quality of this bed for the price. The picture on this website does not do the bed justice. I thought the bed was easy to put together, even with my 15 month old trying to help :) The bed is so sturdy, and my son loves it. When he gets older, the gaurdrails can come off as easy as they went on. As far as furniture from a box goes, this has been the easiest by far to put together, and the shipping was really quick! Overall, I couldn't be happier. You can feel confident about ordering this product if you want great quality for a low price. ... Read more

Editorial Review

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

what a score!!
I bought this table based on the positive reviews it received and its very reasonable price. I am so pleased with it. It folds into a very flat space, and it takes a little muscle to pop the latches into place when unfolding--but that it what makes it so safe, sturdy and durable. The table is a PERFECT size for babies ready to leave the high chair. The attached bench seat prevents falls. The letter prior complaining of the lack of durability needs to realize this table is not made for 40 lb children to use as a trampoline, rather for young toddlers to eat, do activities, and climb on. It's only a ... table, and very, very well worth it. Best of all, my daughter LOVES this table!! Because of this the table earns a 4 star educational rating--she uses it enthusiastically for her educational activities, and to learn how to behave at her own little dinner table.

I have several of these for home and daycare
With 5 kids too little to sit at the table and now too big for their highchairs, this is a great thing! I can put 4 kids at each one and they have a place to eat (especially outside where I don't want them sitting in the dirt)

I've also got some of these at the daycare I own. With the preschoolers and older toddlers, they put use these for the kids to eat on

Get the larger version
Buy the larger version of this table. It has so much more leg room for when the kids get bigger and is SO worth the extra money!! Durability is excellent! Super easy to clean.

very handy little table, esp. if you have no room!!!!!!
We love this table, It gets used every day for many purposes. My son who was 2 when he got it for a gift, because we couldn't get him to sit in his highchair or a booster to eat. It was very frustrating. This table solved my problem. Our son now eats all his food at this table, colors, and races his cars on it. It folds down to next to nothing and can slide right under a couch. ( which we never do! ) Yes, it is also handy for the road. You can take it anywhere it fits right into a trunk of a compact car. We use it every holiday at my moms un-kid friendly house, to keep the kids busy for food and fun. I think it cleans up easy, I read a review that thought that the crayons stained it. Well no problems like that have occured for me. It has been marked with, pasta sauce, crayons, markers and even pens. It still looks like new. It cleans up with any kitchen cleaner such as 409 or fantastic. Just let it sit for a minute. If it still is stained, then use a softer scrubbing sponge. That should take care of the problem. Top sum it up I love this product and gets a ton of use. I will be buying one for my niece's 2nd birthday in a few weeks. Thank You!

PERFECT table!
We saw this table and had to run out and get it! Our son became very interested in coloring and puzzles and truly loves his own table. It's perfect for him and he is 1 1/2. He climbs right in it and sits. He just loves it! We appreciate it being one piece as my husband was afraid my son would be falling out of a small chair all the time. The little benches are very nice and the table area is nice for any type of activity...and it is easily cleaned. Just PERFECT....and so cute! ... Read more

Perfect for a busy toddler
My daughter loves this flip sofa. At one she could sit on it and cross her little legs. The best part is its second use. When she is napping down stairs we just flip it open and let her relax on the comfy foam. It is much nicer than having a play pen in the living room.

Disney Princess Flip Open Sofa
My daughter love this sofa. My only complaint is that I did not receive the color on the pictures and it will have match my daughter's room. Instead of a light pink and receive a dark pink almost magenta color. Disappoint only on that.

Naptime for 15-month-old
We bought this for our 15-month-old daughter to nap in, and so far so good. She also likes to flop around on it, since it's 100% foam rubber with no frame or anything hard to hurt her. It's small and really for just one child, even though the description says two (they'd have to be really small kids) The length when folded out is perfect for her to take a nap or just jump around on, but a taller or older child might not fit. It's small and light and depending on my daughter's mood, goes from room to room as needed. It will probably also go with us in the car to grandma's. All in all, this was a good investment--under 30 bucks-- and looks like it will last a while.

TODDLERS LOVE THE FLIP-OUT SOFA!
MY FIFTEEN MONTH OLD DAUGHTER RECEIVED THE PRINCESS SOFA AS A CHRISTMAS PRESENT FROM HER AUNT. SHE BARELY GOT OFF THE SOFA ALL DAY. SHE COLLECTED ALL HER DOLLS AND HAD THEM CUDDLE WITH HER. SHE ABSOLUTELY LOVES THIS SOFA! IT WAS SUCH A BIG HIT THAT HER AUNT HAS GIVEN ONE TO HER TWO YEAR OLD NIECE AND ONE TO HER SEVENTEEN MONTH OLD NEPHEW TOO. THEY ALL LOVE THEM! I PLAN TO PURCHASE ONE FOR MY FRIENDS 12 MONTH OLD. THIS IS A GREAT GIFT FOR THIS AGE GROUP.

small
We bought this for our 4 year old daughter for christmas. She doesn't even fit in it in the flipped open position. I'm sure it's great for naps for very young kids. But, I really thought it would be bigger. They really are cute thought!!!! ... Read more
