Multi-Activity Table Multi-Activity Table

We got this for our son's 2nd birthday after doing quite alot of research on all the avaliable tables. It arrived 2 days after we ordered it and it took my self and my 10 year old 20 mins to put together. The instructions are extremely clear (wish all assembly instructions were written by them) and the supplied fittings were all there. My son has climbed onto it to look out of the window and it did not move at all and he is a big lad for his age and has plenty of space for all his trains. Alot of people have mentioned the drawer sticks but we have found no issues with it at all and my son manages easily. All in all a fantastic buy and the quality is what you would expect from Melissa and Doug.

This table was genuinely easy to put together. We were missing a bolt and the seller send us one in the post straight away, no questions asked. Great service! The table itself is not beautiful; heavy, basic, draw hard to pull out for the under 2 year olds. Having said that, these features make it a good buy for 5 years and under. I've had three 18 month olds crawling over it at the same time, plus a roudy crowd of 4 year old scootering into it. No paint chips or collapse so far. The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is its quite low. If your children are tall or 5 years and over, you might find this limited.

We used this activity table for a train set up with the Melissa and Doug Train Set. This is a great quality table that we will use for YEARS! The table was pretty easy to put together. Took my husband and I roughly 45 minutes to put it together with minimal tools. Due to size - definitely recommended having 2 people for assembly. I was worried about the storage drawer being too small, but it has plenty of room for spare train parts (maybe even the full set if my toddler actually ever wants it put away). The table is very sturdy and is holding up to the 3 yo durability test after a month.

I almost didn't buy this table after reading some of the reviews, but we have a lot of Melissa & Doug items and they've always been great quality, and the price is great! When we got the table, my husband had a lot going on, so I decided to try and put it together myself. Anyone who says that it is hard to put together is just not good at that sort of stuff. I thought it was a breeze - the instructions are dummy proof, and it only took me 1 hour, 15 minutes at assemble! By the time my husband got off his conference call, I was putting the last few steps together. It's sturdy, the drawer moves smoothly, and we even use under the table for concealing other toys of hers. It's the perfect height for our 3 year old, and it's nice and big, so her train fits on it nicely. We especially like that it's just white and plain green - this way, when she outgrows her train stage, we can use it for crafts or dolls or whatever. LOVE LOVE LOVE this product - would buy it as a gift any time!

After reading what seemed like a thousand reviews, I put this table together for my daughter who did buy this from Amazon. I was a little leery as some of the reviews were not very comforting. Putting it Together: Let me start by saying that this table was very easy to put together. If this old Granny can do it all by herself, anyone can do it. It took me about two hours from dragging the pieces upstairs, piece by piece, (they are heavy together) to putting on the final touches. The instructions were well written and easy to follow. If you have a helper, all the better. The Table Top: I had no trouble with the table top. The two pieces fell right into place with no lop-sidedness and is smooth and sturdy. The rest of the structure also seems to be pretty sturdy as well. The Drawer: Some complained that their children had a hard time pulling out the drawer. That was a simple fix. I used petroleum jelly on the bottom rails of the drawer and the top dowel. Just rub a little on those areas. I'm sure baby oil would also work amongst other lubricants. Drawer goes in and out with ease and, by the way, it's quite roomy. So far, so good. The pieces were heavier and sturdier than I anticipated what with what I read and the hardware included gave me no problems at all.. The reason I only gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that the 3 1/2-year-old hasn't played with it very much yet. He is the final piece to the puzzle. I will update this once the boy has tested it out for all of us. But one thing is sure, he loves it!!

I've had my share of bad experiences and disappointments with other activity table brands and after being let down a few good times, I was determined to find the perfect table. It took a couple of months, but I soon realized that the perfect activity table does not exist. Human error is real, factory defects happen, and nobody gets it right 100% of the time, but I will tell you that Melissa and Doug come pretty close with this table. We love it! My husband and I had a blast putting it together; it was so easy and came with step-by-step instructions! It's a mixture of real wood and very sturdy particle board which makes for a great quality, durable activity table. We couldn't be happier! It still looks as good as the day we bought it and my son loves it! Everything about this table is a win! Great size for and even greater price and an overall great product! I would buy this table all over again! I read that some people had parts with manufacturing defects. I know it's a pain, but contact the company ... they'll send you the part or a new table if needed. This table is worth the trouble!

This table comes unassembled in a large, flat, heavy box. Keep in mind that I have three kids who are all interested in what I'm doing as I put this table together, so it took about 3 hours or so to assemble this table (over two days). The pieces and parts are well marked and the instructions are easy to read, understand and follow. One thing to consider.... there are the installation holes in the pieces and on the support pieces, pay SPECIAL attention to the smaller screw holes. Make sure that the screw holes are pointing/facing the bottom of the table. You will need to use the screw holes when assembling the support brackets. This note is from experience, as I had to re-assemble two of the boards. VERY sturdy and large enough for the three toddlers (2, 3, 5 years) to play without crowding each other out. I selected this table because it didn't have legs and was lower to the floor, in the event that the kids sit on the table (which undoubtedly they will). I would recommend this play table to anyone! As a plus, the drawer is also very sturdy and is supported by a dowel - dowel is supported by the table. It's perfect! Absolutely perfect!
