This table is great. The assembly was pretty easy. It does require you to drill the nails into the plastic which was a little strange but not hard to do. The table can adjust to have an angle for kids to draw more easily but so far I have never put it on that setting for him (he's a little over 2 years old) because it's not as easy as they make it seem. And when my son wants to draw, there's just no time to mess with the setting. One more thing I want to mention is that we have the table on wood floor, and the bottom is slippery on the wood floor so it slides all over the place. So I had to put some non-skid padding on the feet to make the table stay in place.

This is such a cute picnic table for a boy or girl -you can't beat the price too! The table top swivels so that it becomes an art desk which is great for the artist in the family -if you have one, which we do! Not extremely easy to put together, but it doesn't take a genius or a mechanic, either. Also, don't plan on seating four little ones, only two, but for us, that's great!

I just got the order yesterday, the table is smaller than it looks in the picture. I wish the table is rounder or bigger.

This is a great table for your little one(s)! We got it for our 20 month old son for Christmas and he loves to sit and color or eat at it. It's nice and compact and fits perfectly in our small den without taking up too much space. The colors are nice too and look good in our house.

We love that this table is 1 piece so we don't have to worry about him tipping backwards in a chair. (We have carpeting.) We also don't have to worry about him carrying the chairs all over the house, which I am sure he would do with a table with separate chairs.

Crayon wipes easily off the tabletop with a wet scouring pad, which was a big concern of mine. My girlfriend has the Ikea Mammut table and they can't get the crayon off.

This table can easily fit 2 toddlers - one on each side. I'm not sure how well 3 or 4 would fit. The table part isn't too big. It can hold one coloring book opened up on it. If 2 kids are coloring, they would have to fold the coloring books under, or each just use 1 sheet of paper.

The edges of the table have a lip so crayons can't roll off, which is a nice feature.

The tabletop also can turn into an easel which is cool! We haven't tried it yet but I am looking fwd to trying it one of these days.

Down the road, should we want to upgrade to a bigger or different table, I think this one would also be great for outside!

I would definitely recommend this table.

Good quality table with safe rounded edges, but small. It's good for a 1-2 year old; just watch out for him/her falling backwards.

The building of the table was horrible. I'm left with raw knuckles and a partially stripped screwdriver. The problem stems from driving screws into the plastic at very very difficult angles. As a result, you will end up applying force on the screw (while driving it in) at an angle that isn't 90' perpendicular to the surface. The screws don't go in straight and you end up scrapping your knuckle as you twist.

In summary, good product after it's assembled, but little thought put into how it will be assembled.

My 20 month old daughter received this as a Christmas gift, and she was VERY excited by it - so much so that she was already sitting at the table before I had even finished assembling it!

Here's what everyone really wants to know: How easy is it to assemble? The answer is: Pretty easy, but something of a pain. The table comes out of the box in five main pieces (two sides, to seats, and the table top) plus a small bag containing eight coarse-threaded screws (four long, four short), two plastic knobs (for tightening the table top), and two plastic clips. The clips are shown in the assembly instructions but no mention is made of their function, and it took me a few minutes to realize that they're for holding pieces of paper onto the table top when it's in "easel mode". (EDIT: A couple of days later I noticed that this bit of information was printed on the outside of the box.) The screws are used to hold the seats to the sides. The plastic isn't tapped for the screws; you use an awl or a hammer and small nail to create a starter hole, then drive the screws in. The short screws are easy to drive in; the longer screws are more difficult due to the angle that you need to drive them in. Forget about a power screwdriver; there's just not enough room to do it. Using a ratcheting screwdriver it took me about ten minutes to put all eight screws in, after which it seemed to be reasonably secure. (If I had to do it over again, I probably would have simply filled the joint with epoxy and let it set overnight.)

Once the screws are all tightened down, the table top basically slips into place and are held securely by the knobs. The table is keyed so that it locks into position; it's virtually impossible to have the table top slide down at an inopportune moment. My little girl stood on the table without any problems. The table itself can be set to any of three heights; the lowest position puts the table top level with the seats to make a larger overall space, perhaps as a small stage. The highest position is reasonable for small children to use (it's just a tiny bit too tall for my daughter to comfortably use but I suspect in a couple of months this won't be the case). The middle position is just slightly lower than the highest position and would be suitable for even smaller children. The highest position allows you tilt the table into an easel position. The table tilts about 45 degrees fore or aft. Setting the table height/position is a job for adults; you need to remove both knobs, gently pull the sides apart so you can release the table top, reposition the table, then replace the knobs. All in all, this takes a single adult about two minutes to complete.

I have only two complaints about the table. Complaint #1 is the clumsy-seeming use of screws to hold the table together. I find it difficult to believe that a screwless assembly system couldn't be conceived, and the fact that they don't even provide pilot holes for the screws makes it seem like it was a clumsy attempt at covering up an engineering error.

Complaint #2 is that its functionality as an easel is limited because, as an easel, it doesn't provide any storage space for art supplies. This forces your child to leave their crayons, paints, etc on the floor, or needing a second table, or using the seat bench as storage while he/she draws and paints. It seems like an obvious oversight that could have been addressed with a simple redesign of the table top, or perhaps a snap-on piece that could be stored under the table top when not in use.

ASSEMBLY WAS VERY EASY. I LIKE THE ADJUSTABLE TABLE SO THAT IT CAN GROW WITH MY CHILD. ITS A PERFECT SIZE FOR HIM. IT DOESN'T TAKE UP ALOT OF SPACE AND ITS EASY TO CLEAN.

My nephew loves it! It was a pain to put together because there were screws that needed to be inserted but there were NO SCREW HOLES! It is a little slippery for little people, so you might want to scuff it with some sandpaper.

We use this table for so many things. It was fairly easy to put together, but is a little wobbly - perhaps I wasn't as careful as I should have been. Not for climbing on, but it is hard to keep a 2 year old off.

Easy to build, very sturdy.. we've been using for 2 years now.. my oldest daughter is now 4 and the youngest is 2.. they use it to eat, draw, play..
