I love this table and chair set for my 18 month old. The chairs are shorter than any of the other sets we tried and he is able to sit down on them by himself. I wish it was solid wood but I guess that is asking much for the price. I also wish it was a slightly darker color. The rest of my house is furnished in Mission style furniture (from a variety of manufacturers) and they are all a similiar color but this doesn't quite match. It was easy to put together and seems really sturdy. We did need to buy a set of no-skid rubber pads to stick to the bottoms of all the legs because we have hardwood floors.

I purchased this set about one year ago. Since then I have had to replace the legs 3 times. The wood is of very poor quality and the screws in the set keeps coming loose. I am very dissapointed about the overall quality. It is not an expensive set, but spend more money to get something better - and avoid TOT TUTORS products, they are in general of poor quality it seems. Look at reviews at Target also. It seems that everyone is unhappy with this set.

We were excited to get this set for my 20 month old as the decor matched nicely in with our living room. We were quickly disappointed after 3 weeks when one of the chairs begain to wobble and we were unable to tighten the bolt as it wobbled in a location without a bolt. Wood glue helped temporarily, so we removed the chair and were down to 1 chair. At 8 weeks the table leg snapped and splintered while my son was leaning against it. My son is active but was not rough with it. We would not recommend.

I have been looking for a good table and chairs for my two children for over a year and really loved the idea of having some style... alas what this table & chair set has in style, it lacks in decent proportions. The chairs are TINY, better for toy bears than small children, and the table is really quite tall for such small chairs. The wood is also not as 'woody' as I would have preferred, more 'plastic' looking and the chair colour does not match the table colour at all. If I read this (my own) review, I'd think what a picky old housewife, but honestly I'm not all that picky... just disappointed.

Assembly was easy. The items appear to be pretty strong and not wobbly at all.

This table has been through alot with two kids using it every day for almost three years. It is durable, has maintained a solid finish look and is easy to clean....everything has been spilled on it!

While setting up the product tonight, one of the screws was set wrong and loose, the glue came apart on the two chairs, and as my husband gently placed a chair down for the first time, a chunk of wood split off the chair. We were stunned at the shoddy manufacturing. Will be returning and wishing we'd read these reviews first.

We have had this table for almost 2 years now. On the pro side, I will say that it is a nice looking table. Unfortunately there are more cons. The screws are constantly loose, and the chairs often feel "rickety" because of it. Even when all the screws are tightened the chairs still feel unstable. The table is the same way. The major con for me though is how small this table is. There is enough room for two children at it to eat and that is all. Forget about trying to color at the table with two children. There is not enough room for a box of crayons and two coloring books. When we first got this I actually thought it would be better as a desk with only one chair. If you are looking for a table for use by more than one child, I do not recommend this table at all. We will be purchasing a new table and chairs set this year.

I bought this product for my two little boys expecting that a childrens table and chairs could take a little bit of abuse, especially since the reviews I read on it said that it was sturdy and durable. This is not the case. This product is not great from the beginning. The back of the chair and the seat are connected by no more than wooden dowels which come apart whenever my 2 year old tries to sit in the chair. Also the screws used to not tighten all the way so the chairs are constantly loose and only get looser as time goes by and the product gets used. You can tighten it but they are never FULLY tight... same thing with the table. Today I was trying to move the table simply to clean underneath it and one of the legs splintered and snapped off. The whole set is, unfortunately, not of good quality! Don't waste your money. The boys liked to sit at it and color but it is not worth the money for the quality!!

You get what you pay for. Basically, all the parts are pre-made and you have to assemble them with the alan wrench provided and the bolts included. It's all real wood so that's nice, but I strongly suggest that you put it together both with all the hardware and by gluing it up with wood glue.

Once that's done they're fine.
