I bought this table for my four grandchildren, ages 1 - 4, after completing a lot of research. For the purchase price, I think that the product is durable and large enough so my grandkids will enjoy it for years to come. When it arrived at their home, my son-in-law was able to just put it together rather quickly. Although I have not yet seen it, my daughter said the product is well made and sturdy. My 4 grandkids can sit on one side and their two much older neighbor kids can sit on the other side. They all just love it! Plus, my husband and I got all the wonderful I love you's and thank you's.

Bought if for my granddaughter when she was 3. She is now a tall 6, and still plays with it daily. Unlike the furniture-type vanities there are no sharp edges or corners for a pre-schooler to run into. It can easily be moved out of the way when cleaning; requires minimal care; and is sturdy enough that I have on occasion sat on the stool for her to give me a makeover. Biggest surprise of all is that the stickers have held up through the years!

What a great investment this is, grandparents! I bought one for my own yard and then ended up purchasing two more for both sets of grandkids to have at their own house. It is strong (I can sit with them) and can be used both inside and out, even as extra seating for large gatherings.

I bought another kitchen at my local supercenter, and took it back when I saw how flimsy it was. This is for an upcoming visit from my 4 young grandchildren, and I remembered Little Tikes was good when their parents were young, it still seems to be! This kitchen is compact, easy to store, very easy to assemble and made of the thick, quality plastic that Little Tikes is known for. It's perfect for our needs. Perhaps a more complex model would be better for everyday use, but for visiting kids, it's perfect.
