   This is the best play table around. I would not suggest buying any other table unless it is lego. It is very well made and will not cave in on the kids. It will be around for a long time and the price is well worth it. Don’t waste your money on anything else because it want last. LEGO is number one.

   There is no point spending a lot on this table and paying for shipping because we purchased this table set from a nearby Toys R Us for $40 (reg price). It does not work with Duplos, regular Legos or Mega Bloks. As one reviewer said, if you can get the big Duplo blocks to sit on the plates, they will pop off. We tried them with the smaller Legos and with effort, you can get them to fit, but even us adults had a hard time removing them. My daughter played on it for 5 minutes and gave up because the pieces just don’t fit and keep popping off. We even tried with Mega Bloks and they simply do not work. We are returning ours. Comparing the plates with original Lego plates, the size of the studs are slightly off and that makes all the difference.

   I had this in my children’s room for a couple of years. The chairs were surprisingly durable but the table legs eventully got wobbly. I’d pop them back in but finally it just didn’t hold up. Could be that my children are pretty rough. It should be perfectly suitable for one not too wild child but for multiple kids, daycare, church nursery or . . . you get the picture . .. go for the wood! When this table was no longer servicable, I replaced it with a wooden one. It is much sturdier and hasn’t given us any problems. I researched the wooden tables on Amazon and they are pricey (more than $200) but I was fortunate and found mine at a yard sale. If you have the money or the patience (yardsales, craigslist, etc.), I highly recommend the wooden tables over the plastic. They also have a larger worksurface. I did find the net in the middle of the wooden table a little annoying until I removed the mesh bag and just put a plastic container beneath. It makes pickup easy because they can just toss all the pieces they aren’t using in the middle and it drops into their storage. One final note on the plastic - it is easier to clean as it’s so light and you can just take it outside to spray off. You have to be a little more careful with the wood as you don’t want that to get sopping wet!

   I purchased this table and chair set for my 4 yr old son for christmas. It is a great table it is very sturdy and believe me I know, my son who weighs 42 pounds have stood on the table and chair and did not fall off, not that I recommend that but it gives you an idea how sturdy it is. It doesn’t take mega bloks or the themed duplo sets but the seller clearly states that in the description, so to the reviewer who gave it 1 star because of that should had read the profile before purchasing it. If the legs are inserted properly the table or the chairs won’t wobble. I purchased the classic legos for my son and it works perfect with the table just as the description states. I recommend this table to anyone looking for a childs table and the seller abracadabroo is really good I purchased the table even though it was a back order and when it came in stock it was delivered in 2 days I couldn’t have asked for better service. All I have to say is GREAT PRODUCT.

   My son is 19 months old and loves this table. He eats at it (and makes us sit down with him as well… yes, it holds grown ups easily (!), my husband weighs 180). It’s easy to clean, and functions as a regular table which makes my son feel like a big boy! And it’s a wonderful lego/ duplo table. We also purchased a lego/ duplo building block set that works perfectly with the table. The fact that it has a lid that makes it a regular table makes this the perfect table for any child. I did a lot of research before purchasing this one and I believe that this one exceeds any other one by far; in price, in usage. It’s easy to put together, and once my son outgrows it, it will be very easy to take it apart again as well.
   The only thing that you might like to know is that since it’s plastic it’s very light, so when my son tries to sit down (and since we have wood floors) the chair will easily slide away or get knocked over. He’s figured that out already though so now he comes and gets us to hold the chair while he sits down
   Everyone that has seen his table so far has commented on how great they think it is.

   My son’s 3 and 6 yrs, each have on of these tables and they work great with Duplo and Lego (not Mega Bloks). We love the solid surface for artwork and puzzles too. Great priced kid furniture and lead free too!

   We have 4 of these tables around our house. One for arts and crafts, one for play doh, 1 for my 4 yr old’s duplo and 1 for my 6 yr olds Lego. Newer blocks are not as flexible and are shiny and slippery and tend to pop off the brand new table. Let the kids play for a while and “break in the blocks and table grid”.
   Best and most used, most loved item we’ve ever had. Great for kids at parties too. We get all 4 out, put on the solid tops and enjoy our party crafts then our cupcakes.
   Oodles of fun.

   The box arrived in very good condition from the supplier (Fat Brain Toys) and was very easy to put together. I am very impressed by the drawer design, which includes a dowel on the inside to keep is running smoothly. The drawer was a little tight at first, but loosened up enough after 5-6 openings that our 2-year old had no problem opening it. If would be nice if there was two drawers (side by side) to provide more storage. However it is still very nice the way it is.

   This table was shipped from the retailer. It went to my grandson’s house and it was easy for his parent’s to put together. It is attractive and sturdy and he uses it for a variety of games and toys. The toughest thing is to keep him off of the table, for some reason he thinks he must climb on it (his 2 year old sister also) but the table has withstood the wear and tear.

   The table was very easy to assemble with two people. The drawer was the only problem. It did not fit in the space cut out for it very well. Other than that a great buy and perfect for trains, projects, and imaginary play.

    We use this table as s train table for our 4 year old, and he loves it. It is big enough in size to handle many tracks, and it has one drawer for extra track pieces or trains. We used a combination of Melissa & Doug tracks and Thomas tracks, and all work great together. We are very satisfied with our purchase of this table. The table is also very durable and well put together.

    We recently got this table for our sons (ages 4 and 2) for their trains and they love it. It can be a little difficult to set up the train bridges because they don’t fit across the table very well, and we thought it would fit more track on it, but it is wonderful to be able to have the trains set up all of the time for them to play with easily.

    If this table was not perfect for my kids, I would not sell them.

    the blocks are NOT compatible. Kids loved the gift until they realized the blocks don’t fit at all. Now they don’t even play with it. the advertising is FALSE !! This product is a shame.

14. Obremski on May 22nd, 2009 10:37 pm

    We bought this table for my 18 month old son since he loves to play and build with Duplo blocks. I went out and bought him a set of Duplos blocks and couldnt wait to get this table that advertises DUPLO compatiable….Well we got the table my husband put it together we got his DUPLO’s out and much to our surprise it does not fit the Duplo blocks….So now we have to go and buy the lego/duplo plates and try to replace the ones on the table. UGH! I hate when ppl advertise things that are false. I dont even know what brand blocks fit on this table…I havent tried the small legos as my son is to young for them yet.

    Only works with the square and rectangle duplos, not any of the odd shaped ones or themed sets, which is very frustrating. By the time they are old enough for little legos, they will have outgrown the table.
