From the Manufacturer

Get your summer plans off the ground with this raised and shaded sandbox. Six sides encourage multiple children to gather for group play, while the sand crane can keep a solitary child occupied for hours. When they're done for the day, the umbrella fastens down to keep out neighborhood pets and inclement weather.

4.0 out of 5 stars NICE SAND TABLE, March 8, 2006

I just bought this sandtable today for my 4yr old son. It went together pretty easy, you do have to push really hard on the legs to get them to lock, I did use a rubber mallet to help me lock in place. The umbrella is nice and I like the idea that it also becomes the lid with 3 straps to hold in place. I cant say how water proof the umbrella is yet since I just got it. Since my son is 4 I thought it could be a little taller and it says it holds 200lbs of sand, well I bought 4 bags of sand and 2 bags practically filled it, so I will use the 2 bags as backup! We all know the sand doesnt stay in the box for long! Overall I like it and I like the fact that the kids can stand up and play instead of being in the sandbox itself. Oh the little shovel attachment is easy to use also. It needs to be removed when you put the cover on but comes off easily and a piece of the umbrella needs to be removed also, but can store in the sandbox when being covered.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of fun, be prepared to have sand everywhere., April 18, 2006

This review is from: Naturally Playful Up & Away Sand Table (Toy)

This table went together in no time (more time was spent opening and dumping the 4 50-pound bags of play sand). My daughter got this for her birthday and loves it. The only improvement I would suggest is to have a drain hole in the center leg or a cap to cover the opening for the umbrella. We had the umbrella out for less than an hour and the center leg was COMPLETELY filled with sand so we had to move the table (and what was left of the 200lbs of sand)to let the leg empty and put the umbrella back in. Otherwise a great table!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great sand table but VERY short!, February 25, 2007

This review is from: Naturally Playful Up & Away Sand Table (Toy)

This is our 2nd Naturally Playful sand table. The previous one lasted for more than 2 years and was well used. I decided it was time for a new one when the other one wobbled on it's legs too much to be comfortable with. Not great support for a sand and water table. This one is constructed much better with 5 legs and a center support. The table is huge and is quite a bit deeper allowing for more kinds of playing and more area for kids to play. My only complaint is that it is 12 inches shorter! I can't find any mention of that in the literature or other reviews but it's a huge hassle. My 2 year old towers over it and my 4 year old has to sit down to use it. I wish they had longer legs I could substitute for the short ones! Otherwise it's a great table and think we'll get another few years out of this one!
