This table is perfect for my two girls ages 2 and 4. It's not built to last a decade but I am very pleased with it. It's pretty and practical.

Received this table and chair set today as a gift for our 2 year old daughter who loves anything Dora. I put it together myself in less than 5-10 minutes.

The only screws you have are the ones for the chair back to the chair seat! (2 for each chair, that's it!) The screw holes didn't line up perfectly, which makes it a little more difficult, but not impossible. I beat up the back/bottom of the chair trying to get the stupid screw in - couldn't get it in so I'm waiting for my mechanically inclined husband to finish that chair. The other chair went together without a problem, though the screw holes were still just a little off.

The chair legs and chair table are peg-like that you just twist the whole leg to thread it in, which I loved. Seems fairly sturdy.

Paint job on a few of the pink legs is awful, but being fairly obsessive about things like that, I'm sure I'm the only one who will ever notice. It's just going to get colored on, pushed around, glued, etc, so it's not a big deal. I managed to arrange the uglier table/chair legs to a part of the chair/table that won't be showing all the time so it looks fine.

The chair backs, seats and table top is shiny (I'm thinking easy to clean) and the colors are very cute.

The storage area is bigger than I thought it would be - you can actually fit many coloring books in it, plus crayons! Which is exactly what I wanted!

The stickers it came with are very cute, but my 2 year old just isn't very interested in stickers, so I'm going to save them for when she is old enough to use them the correct way on the dora table top (playground scene, bridge scene, beach scene, and paths scene that you can put the stickers on and play that way). It says they are re-stickable, but I can't attest to that yet. maybe I'll test one out and edit this review eventually.

Like the other reviewer said, it's not meant to last a lifetime, but it'll do for toddlerhood and I think it could easily last 10 years, maybe longer, with a fairly gentle girl like mine, so I'm hoping it can be passed down to any children we may have in the future.

The two rope loops that you use to pull up to access the storage area were quite long and I think would get in the way of coloring and other projects, and be way too enticing for my string-loving daughter, so I just tightened them and tied another knot underneath so they are flat against it - still easy to get the storage lid off.

Overall, I would recommend it, wish it was a little less expensive - you can get the Little Tykes classic table and chairs set for the same price and that one WILL last a lifetime!

But if your kid is a fan of Dora and you are looking for a table with storage, this one serves its purpose well!
