CargilperCargilper: The main intentions for this table are for my toddlers to be able to use the same space at the same time for use of sensory bins and learning activities, play with toys together, and conspicuous toy storage. I can attest that this table serves the purpose of all of the above mentioned and more!!

The box arrived quick and in perfect condition and it was HUGE! I thought it would take forever to set up but I managed to get it done in 30 minutes on Christmas eve. The instructions were super easy to follow but also, there are not that many pieces.

This table takes up significant space but it also allows for storage underneath the green boards.

Some of the things I did not like were that the toys end up in the floor as the only storage the table contains is a small drawer, the drawer is operated through a wooden stick and thus it makes it hard to open/close it, and the sides are open and expose the items underneath the table.

Overall, I am sooooo happy with my table and so are my kids. I'm actually working toward creating additional storage underneath the green boards. Nonetheless, I recommend for anyone with toddlers as it serves so many...

KDKD: This table is a great large size with the ability to grow with your child. My 3 year old can easily reach things that are in the middle of the table. It surprisingly feels very sturdy! The directions are very easy to follow and took almost an hour and a half to put together. Just a heads up: the box it comes in is VERY heavy.

Unfortunately, I can't say I'm totally happy with the purchase. I was disappointed to see the lack of quality control coming from a Melissa & Doug product. A side board was not painted on all four sides (looks unfinished), holes were not centered together so I had to drill in my own and the top two pieces seem to be too small for the table. The top pieces have me most concerned. The gaps on the sides are big enough for little fingers to fit through and lift up the board. If I knew this is what I would be receiving I would've ordered from a store so I could return or I would look more into other options.

UPDATE:
After writing this review, Barbara from Melissa and Doug left a message (below) to get in touch with her. I called in and spoke to a very friendly receptionist who got me in touch with Barbara. Barbara assured me...

J. Westrup: I wanted to get my son a table for his train sets that he received for Christmas, but didn't want something that was specifically just for trains. I wanted he, and my daughter, to be able to use the table for Legos, coloring, etc. I loved the look of this table online and I have lots of respect for the Melissa & Doug line of products as we own several of them due to their great construction. This table leaves a little to be desired with it's construction, but overall I am pleased with it.

I do have a few complaints however, which is why I only gave it a 4 star rating. First off, the table top, once the entire table is put together, is wobbly and doesn't sit very flush, which creates some issues when building train tracks on top of the table, as well as Lego structures. In addition to this, the drawer is not flush with the side of the table. The left side of the drawer sticks out about 3/4" from the face of the side of the table, which you can hit with your knees while trying to build train tracks. It's not a deal breaker, but I definitely would have preferred the drawer to be flush. In the other M&D toys that I have purchased and had to put...

EC W: 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.
