This table is simply AMAZING!! (And it arrived 2-3 days early, which was an unexpected bonus on our end.)

I bought this table for my son (age 3) so he would have his own table (just his size!) to do his arts and crafts, but we've also discovered that it's the perfect size to put together puzzles, play with play dough, or drive his toy cars around. Even his sisters (ages 9 & 10) are not too big to sit down and color or draw with him.

The stools are also the perfect size - not only can he get up and down without assistance, but they're also comfortable enough that I can sit down beside him when he's playing and not have any trouble getting back up again. (Disclaimer: My knees don't fit under the table, though, unless I stretch out my legs. When I sit down, I usually sit slightly back from the table, or sideways - but it's still comfortable.)

I also love the little "lip" on the back of the stools. I worry less that my son is going to fall backwards (we have hard-surface floors throughout our house, so this is a big concern for me), because the lip keeps him from scooting too far back in his seat and losing his balance. It even makes me feel more secure when I sit down and can feel the lip there.

PROS:
- High-Quality
- Very Sturdy
- Looks Great
- TONS of Storage
- Easy to Clean
- It's Kid- AND Parent-Friendly
- Multi-Functional (can be used for arts & crafts, puzzles, play dough, etc)
- Comes with Easy-to-Follow Instructions

CONS:
- Time-Consuming Assembly
- Two Mislabeled Parts

Overall, I did not think that this table was particularly difficult to assemble. The instructions are very straight-forward and easy to understand - even for me, and I am not any sort of handywoman when it comes to putting furniture together.

However, keep in mind that this table will take a bit of time to assemble. Working slowly, it took us roughly 2 hours to completely put everything together (table AND stools).

It is also MUCH easier to put this thing together with someone else than to do it all by yourself. A single person CAN put it together, but I would suggest tag-teaming it to save yourself some potential frustration.

Two of the pieces to the table we received were mislabeled. I listed this as a con - BUT we were able to spot the mistake immediately (before we even put the wrong piece in the wrong place) thanks to the detailed picture diagrams in the instructions, so it was a quick and easy fix. No stress, no drama.

Overall, I think we'll be getting quite a bit of of mileage out of this table. :)

My 2 1/2 year old son loves to draw, paint and play with his wooden train sets. This table will be used for a lot more in the future as he grows and so does his imagination. He loves this table!

This table arrived a day sooner than quoted. Which was awesome! Everything came in two boxes. However, the setup was horrible (and my husband is VERY handy at building). My daughters (ages 4 and 2) love this table because it has everything at an arms reach and I love it because it looks nice in our home. Great art table for kids.
