Multi-Activity Table Multi-Activity Table

We got this for our son's 2nd birthday after doing quite alot of research on all the avaliable tables. It arrived 2 days after we ordered it and it took my self and my 10 year old 20 mins to put together. The instructions are extremely clear (wish all assembly instructions were written by them) and the supplied fittings were all there. My son has climbed onto it to look out of the window and it did not move at all and he is a big lad for his age and has plenty of space for all his trains. Alot of people have mentioned the drawer sticks but we have found no issues with it at all and my son manages easily. All in all a fantastic buy and the quality is what you would expect from Melissa and Doug.

This table was genuinely easy to put together. We were missing a bolt and the seller send us one in the post straight away, no questions asked. Great service! The table itself is not beautiful; heavy, basic, draw hard to pull out for the under 2 year olds. Having said that, these features make it a good buy for 5 years and under. I've had three 18 month olds crawling over it at the same time, plus a roudy crowd of 4 year old scootering into it. No paint chips or collapse so far. The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is its quite low. If your children are tall or 5 years and over, you might find this limited.

I've had my share of bad experiences and disappointments with other activity table brands and after being let down a few good times, I was determined to find the perfect table. It took a couple of months, but I soon realized that the perfect activity table does not exist. Human error is real, factory defects happen, and nobody gets it right 100% of the time, but I will tell you that Melissa and Doug come pretty close with this table. We love it! My husband and I had a blast putting it together; it was so easy and came with step-by-step instructions! It's a mixture of real wood and very sturdy particle board which makes for a great quality, durable activity table. We couldn't be happier! It still looks as good as the day we bought it and my son loves it! Everything about this table is a win! Great size for and even greater price and an overall great product! I would buy this table all over again! I read that some people had parts with manufacturing defects. I know it's a pain, but contact the company ... they'll send you the part or a new table if needed. This table is worth the trouble!

The main intentions for this table are for my toddlers to be able to use the same space at the same time for use of sensory bins and learning activities, play with toys together, and conspicuous toy storage. I can attest that this table serves the purpose of all of the above mentioned and more!! The box arrived quick and in perfect condition and it was HUGE! I thought it would take forever to set up but I managed to get it done in 30 minutes on Christmas eve. The instructions were super easy to follow but also, there are not that many pieces. This table takes up significant space but it also allows for storage underneath the green boards. Some of the things I did not like were that the toys end up in the floor as the only storage the table contains is a small drawer, the drawer is operated through a wooden stick and thus it makes it hard to open/close it, and the sides are open and expose the items underneath the table. Overall, I am sooooo happy with my table and so are my kids. I'm actually working toward creating additional storage underneath the green boards. Nonetheless, I recommend for anyone with toddlers as it serves so many purposes (not just to play with and store legos).

My husband and I got this for our 2-year-old son for Christmas, and it has been wonderful! He was always playing with his Cars race track on the floor, and either an animal or a person would wind up stepping on it, so we decided to get an activity table. Also, he was getting a Thomas train set for Christmas, so we wanted to be able to set up his track on the table and not the floor. I researched a lot of different tables and I am extremely happy with this one! It was very easy to put together, and has held up great. It only took me about 20 minutes to put together, and is easy for one person to do until you need to turn the table over. The only damage to the table so far was caused by my son running into the corners of the legs with his push wagon, but considering how fast he runs, I am very impressed at how little damage he caused. There are only some minor chips in the paint, which could easily be fixed with some white paint. As stated in some other reviews, the table is rather large, so make sure you have room for it. We have it out in the middle of his bedroom floor so that he can walk all the way around it, but luckily his room is pretty big. If the room you are going to put this in is on the smaller side, then it will more than likely take up most of the floor space. For the money, this is the best table you can get! You really can't go wrong with Melissa and Doug products.

I almost did not buy this due to some of the comments in the reviews but I went ahead and purchased it and I'm glad I did. I have a playroom set up for our 3 grandkids under 3 and wanted a place for them to be able to play with their wooden train set and start to play with legos. The box was heavy which was the 1st indicator that this was going to have some weight and strength. We were very happy with the simplicity to put this together. All of the pieces were labeled appropriately which is very helpful. 1 person could do it but for the longer boards it was a little awkward. My husband came down to help and we had the whole thing together in about 50 minutes - would have been quicker but we made a few errors. Directions were good - our mistakes for not looking closer. Many of the similar items have tracks on the table top but I felt that limited the creativity of the kids. The blank slate of just 2 green boards opens up their imagination for that to be anything they want it to be. Very happy with the purchase and the cost. If anything changes once the kids begin playing hard I'll update but I think it looks good for how.

I almost didn't buy this table after reading some of the reviews, but we have a lot of Melissa & Doug items and they've always been great quality, and the price is great! When we got the table, my husband had a lot going on, so I decided to try and put it together myself. Anyone who says that it is hard to put together is just not good at that sort of stuff. I thought it was a breeze - the instructions are dummy proof, and it only took me 1 hour, 15 minutes at assemble! By the time my husband got off his conference call, I was putting the last few steps together. It's sturdy, the drawer moves smoothly, and we even use under the table for concealing other toys of hers. It's the perfect height for our 3 year old, and it's nice and big, so her train fits on it nicely. We especially like that it's just white and plain green - this way, when she outgrows her train stage, we can use it for crafts or dolls or whatever. LOVE LOVE LOVE this product - would buy it as a gift any time!
