We purchased this for my 2 year old son. He absolutely loves this table. He had gotten some wooden tracks and everytime someone would set them up for him he would tear them all apart and we would spend the next 1/2 hour searching for them all just a nightmare! The best thing about this is everything is connected no mess to clean up. My son has some wooden Thomas trains and some Play Along Thomas trains (metal ones) the problem with having the two different kinds of trains is none of the tracks would be compatible for both sets however this table really has no tracks only roads with stickers that look like tracks making it virtually possible to fit any small vehicle including hot wheels. My son has spent numerous hours everyday playing with this. The only time the lid goes on is after he goes to bed when I pick up his toys. I like that now I can store all his 50 some Thomas trains inside. Harold the Helicopter even has his own sticker landing pad. This was very easy to put together took at the most 10 minutes. The hardest part was my 2 year old son was standing next to me and when I was trying to put the decals on and was having the trains race at the same time. This table set has one bad thing and that is the little train and cars that came with my table were very cheap and arrived with wheels broken off one and a little windshield broken off of another this could create a choking hazard for little ones. I threw them all away! I did get a pamphlet to register my product with Step 2 and when I went to their website I found that this toy was rated one of the top 5 pre-school toys of 2005 by the Today Show! One more thing I want to mention is I did purchase it through this website it says on product info that it usually ships within 2-3 days well it took over a week to ship! It took 2 weeks from date of purchase until it arrived so if you are buying this for an event where you will need it by a certain date I would recommend purchasing it ahead of time.

For the price the value is EXCELLENT. You are getting a table with the tracks attached so no pieces to lose! You can put the cover on and instant art table. Hot wheels and the smaller Thomas trains fit on it too. My son loves it and so do all the kids who come over to play. My son climbs on it and he is large for his age - so I know it is extremely durable (as are most Step 2 items. I highly recommend this table.

I dont usually write reviews but this toy is so great that i thought i would. i know that buying a train table is a big purchase and i just wanted to let everyone know that this one is perfect. We just bought ours yesterday and my little guy hasnt stopped playing with it! I love that the tracks are in place. We bought wooden track at first and he just took it apart. Also, it comes with great little cars and a 3 piece train. Another good thing is that if you already have wooden track or want to eventually buy some you can just put the top on the table and set up your wooden track there. Overall this is 5 stars by far-great value, grows with your child, sturdy and fun!

We got this table for our 2 boys (4.5 and 18 mos) for the holidays and they still play with it everyday! We have it in our basement family room and use it as a snack / play-doh table with the top on. All their little trucks, trains and cars store right inside and the little one even climbs right in to play.

The only minor downfall is that the bridges come off pretty easily, as our older one discovered when he decided to do a "bridge is out -- spiderman to the rescue!" play scenario one day. Since then, he takes them off consistantly, which caused me to worry that we would lose a bridge permanantly one day soon.

To remedy this minor flaw, I simply glued the bridges in place with craft glue made for plastics. Now the table is perfect and spiderman instead rescues trains and cars that fall over the sides of the canyon walls and bridges and land in the water. :)

Spiderman -- you're our hero!

My son who just turned two loves thomas the train and all of the little train table at the toy store. However most of them come apart, pieces will get lost and if the tracks are not in place it sort of defeats the purpose of the table. This table is wonderful for that. The pieces are all together so that it is perfect for the little ones. The table says for 3 and up. I am not sure why. This table is perfect for my two year old. I guess they think a younger child might try to swallow pieces of the little cars/trains that come with it. But my child has been over putting things in his mouth that are not edible for over a year. So I would recommend this table to anyone whos child loves trains and doesn eat small things! The only downfall to this table is putting all the stickers on. It is a PAIN. I am not a perfectionist though so I dont really mind a few bubbles and ripples here and there. (Neither does my son Aiden) Buf if you do, it will drive you nuts. It is impossible to get the stickers to fit perfectly. Overall great, durable, fun table!

Let my 2 yr old son open a present early this year and it was this one. I'm glad it was early because it was missing the bridges, vehicles and screws for the legs. I should be receiving them from Step 2 in a week or so. The stickers are a little hard to put on and they don't seem like they will stay on long because they seem to be coming off already...after 2 days. I do like this item because my so gets frustrated with interlocking roadways and train tracks when they fall apart. I think all in all this is a great item for toddlers. Even my 7 yr old daughter plays with it.

This was the "toast" of the Christmas tree for our three year old. It was easy to assemble and came with all components needed. It's bright and sturdy - something we were looking for since our tot is tough on toys he enjoys. His hot wheels and thomas train (wooden version) fit on the tracks as well. The lid is a great feature that pops on the set when not in use and turns into a table for art or building. The most priceless thing about it was watching my father, husband, thirty-something brother, and twelve year old son play with this set. My little one has had hours of fun with it. It didn't get a five star rating because you have to embellish the track and roads with stickers. My husband likes to do that kinda thing, so it wasn't a hardship for us. This was a great buy!

My son is a train fanatic and loves this table. He has a large wooden table also, but this is by far his favorite toy! He even loves the cars and trains that came with it. Super easy to assembly. Even bigger than I thought it would be. I didn't find the stickers too tedious. Easy enough to bring from room to room. A terrific table and a super value!

I think this table is great. My son 2 1/2 adores it, and it not a mess to clean of small parts.
So why did I only give it 4 stars? I expected the top to be made of plastic as well, unfortunatly it is made of particle board with a laminated top. All it takes is a few spill and the top is destroyed. I have moved the top to storage and will not be using it for an art station. I am also a little disappointed that the legs are only held together each with a single screw.
But other than those complaints.... I LOVE THE TABLE, and would definately recommend to any car or train crasy kid.

My husband and I bought this for my son for his second birthday. The day it came in the mail we put it together, which took about 15 minutes with a drill, and prepared to surprise our son with it when he awoke from his nap. That was five days ago, and my son has hardly played with any of his other toys at all. He's a real Thomas the Tank Engine enthusiast and loves to push them all around the table. We learned that the table can accomadate Thomas and Friends wooden cars as well as Take Along Thomas cars, which are cheaper. He also pushes hotwheels and matchbox cars around on it. The only thing that hasn't worked real well has been the Thomas cars that are motorized. This is because the table doesn't have train track for the gear to grab, if it did all the other cars and trains wouldn't work on it so well. The added bonus is we can put the lid on the table and use it for doing puzzles, coloring, and playing with Little People play sets. I can't say enough about this toy. We ALL play with it, and everytime we've had company since we bought it, they always comment on how cute it is. Buy it, it's worth it.
