I was looking for templates to make my own kids' picnic table from lumber when i stumbled on this table. I do love to build, but i couldn't pass up a kids table that folds for storage, comes with an umbrella and seats 6 or more kids... for under $100! We did have a little trouble fitting the umbrella pole into the center hole in the table, but with a little advice from the little tikes customer service line (lubed it up with dish soap) it fit fine. I happen to be one of those crazy people who enjoy assembling things such as this, but this particular thing wasn't that fun. The directions weren't difficult to follow, but it was a little awkward at times. Take the advice in the directions and assemble this product on top of a work bench or table. All in all, a really great purchase.

I put this together in about 20 min, I have not screwed in the additional pieces yet but the main structure went up smoothly. It is super cute too. I do wish there was a little more attention to detail inside, everything is one color, not alot of stickers etc... I may paint some of the inside parts so it looks more like a house but all in all it is a good product.

Our 19-month-old absolutely loves this thing!! It focuses his climbing off the coffee table. It's low enough to the ground that I feel safe about it. He can slide all by himself and that makes him very happy. This is a great living room toy and it doesn't take up a ton of space.

sturdy, wellmade furniture. written directions difficult and not complete. other than finding some cuts in seats (knife?) which I had to file/trim so children would not scratch legs, it is a typical, solid, Little Tykes product.
