Awesome Easel

A must buy for the 3 year olds

First, let me say that we got this for Christmas for our 2.5 year old boy. Our boy is very active and can be aggressive at times. This easel is made very sturdy and looks attractive as well.
I would strongly recommend this to anyone looking for an easel. Friends of ours have the crayola easel and have found it to be weaker than ours. A plus is that this easel is adjustable, meaning as your kids grow so does the easel's height. And I like that the paper is hidden in the middle of the A frame, it keeps it out of the way.

The chalk board is not a problem. I simply followed the directions that come in the box and "seasoned" our board. By coloring/rubbing chalk all over it and wipping it off.

I can't believe someone went the length of using a power sander on this easel... Really? I guess I'm skeptical and not sure why? Yes, that would certainly ruin this chalk board.

Good quality easel!

I like this easel a lot and would recommend it to encourage creativity in your tot. There's no metal hinges that can pinch or rust, and it's adjustable as they grow. It took about an hour to put together, but pretty easy overall. My 2 year old loves it. The chalk board works fine with real white teacher's chalk, but not so well with sidewalk chalk.

Great & Entertaining!

My three yr old and 15 mth old LOVE this! I would recommend this to anyone! I haven't had the chalkboard problems like everyone else. Chalk goes on smooth!

Great Bargain!

Great bargain. I was concerned with the chalk board because some reviews mentioned it needed to be sanded. I did not find that problem at all. My 4 year old son loves the dry erase board and practicing writing his name over and over. Soon enough, my 9 month old girl will be practicing her name as well. Great investment, gift and product overall.

1. Wide receptacle funnels water over spinning wheel, into inner and outer harbors
2. Molded-in sections create moats, lakes, canals, and harbors
3. Elevated design makes play accessible while keeping children out of the dirt and mud
4. 4-piece accessory set with boats, cup, and water wheel tower

Editorial Review :

The falling water action from this Waterwheel Play Table encourages creative exploration with cause and effect learning. This imaginative water play center encourages hours of outdoor fun. Pour water into the wide funnel, and activate the water wheel which then spills into the inner and outer harbors. Two molded-in sections function as canals, boats, lakes, harbors and more. An elevated design keeps water at toddler level and also keeps ground dirt clear of water and mud from forming on children's feet. It accommodates up to three children to encourage group play. Two built-in drain plugs allow for easy water removal. The four piece accessory set includes: one cup, two sailboats, and one water wheel tower. Features decorative molded-in fish designs on legs. It can holds up to four gallons of water.

Wonderful & Fun

We got this for our son when he was 20-months. He loves it. He plays with it every day. Be aware that he has figured out how to climb inside. Also be aware that it would be impossible for a young child to play with this and not get quite wet. I also change the water every day because it's impossible to keep him from drinking out of it!

Better than I expected

Since I just bought it (7/18/2008), you can trust me that some of the previous flaws have been corrected. For example, the leaking problem was gone since I can see two sealed holes at the bottom. Now we have to pour the water into a basin first but this is better than having leaks.

It's VERY sturdy! I don't understand why someone said not. My 20 lb baby sits inside all the time and it seems to have no problem holding another 20 lb. The legs are wide and strong.

It's huge!

And last, we agree that it would have been better if the tower had been mounted.

My 16 month old loves it!

I bought this for my 16 month old daughter, it's a nice alternative to her kiddie pool. She absolutely loves the water table and will spend hours playing with the toy boats and cups it came with.
I like that it is durable but not heavy. It's easy to dump the water, clean and refill.

Waterwheel Play Table

I got one of these at a yard sale for my grandchild and she loved it as well as the little children who came over to play with her. It was fabulous, but after a winter outside, the plastic did crack, and I had to throw it out. But then again, I don't know how many winters it spent outside before me.

I bought this one on Amazon for my sister's little toddlers, and they too love it. It is nice because you don't have to put a ton of water in it, they can splash about in it, keeping cool, and floating their boats, and watching how the water wheel works.

If my grandchildren come back east again, I would consider buying another one for them! (but find somewhere to store it in winter!)

A simple, wonderful little activity table ...

My toddler son loves his WaterWheel! I put this together in (literally) 5 minutes, and whenever we go outside he always asks to play with it. A great, inexpensive toy that provides a LOT of entertainment.

Great picnic table!

My husband and I are very happy with this table. We purchased it for our son's 2nd birthday party. Six toddlers fit comfortably at the table. As with any plastic sitting in the sun, it does get a bit hot. Overall, I would recommend this picnic table!

Nice table for the $$$$

This table is sturdy, easy to assemble, and can fit 6 kids easily. The umbrella is a nice feature and the colors blend well in the yard. I would recommend this table.

Rating :

Flimsy and tough to assemble

This table is adorable and less expensive than the competition, so overall it's a good buy. However, it required 2 people to assemble because the large legs must be folded and held tight while screws are inserted. There were no pilot holes for the screws, and the plastic got extremely hot in the time it took to assemble the table outdoors. Furthermore, the bench noticeably sags when my 2 year old sits in the middle seat. I don't think it will support his weight by next summer (and he is an average weight for his age).

Great table...flimsy umbrella

We love this table but we've already had to replace the umbrella after only 2 short weeks. I wish they would have a tie for the umbrella as the slightest gust of wind turns this inside out. I ordered a new one (another $[...]...ugh) and use my own tying mechanism to make sure the wind doesn't get this one.

Otherwise...it's a GREAT table...very durable and my son LOVES it.

Rating :

great!

this is a great table for small ones, and easy to put together. i just wish it were a little bit sturdier/heavy. other than that i have no complaints. i just ensure we take the umbrella down every night/or when it's windy. great for what it is though!

Good Bookshelf

This is a durable bookshelf and it should last a long time. It was very easy to assemble. My only problem with it is that it doesn't hold as many books as I thought it would.

white wooden bookshelf with canvas shelves

The bookshelf is easy to put together. It's a very handsome bookcase for little tots and very orderly. It's small but the right size for a small space. Looks very nice in the playroom.

Good bins, but needs to be anchored to wall

This was a great buy, especially for the price. We decided to mix and match the bin colors to give it a nicer look, but it really fits in nicely with my daughter's playroom motif of primary colors. The bins are light and easy for her to pull out. The only downside is that the entire piece is very light and not as sturdy as a heavier piece of furniture would be. I am afraid that, before I know it, my daughter will be standing on the lower bar or pulling on the top bar and end up tipping in over on herself. To solve this problem, we are anchoring it to the wall behind it for safety. It is a nice way to organize a bunch of toys. (It held more than I thought it would with it's very wide bins.) But you should be prepared to anchor it to the wall for your child's safety.

Function, Fashion, aFfordable

I purchased this for my daughter. We already own a similar product from target that comes with plastic bins. We *just* got it today but my impressions so far are good. I like the fabric bins and the handles are helpful to get them in and out. I'd say it's a bit shorter than the one from Target, however the bins are good-sized. The larger bin seems to hold more than the big bins from our similar product.

One note -- the sides/bars are WHITE. For some reason I thought they were a light wood color. This works great for me, since it complements her decor but please take note of this in case it wouldn't work for you.

Overall, worth the less than $[...] with free shipping to bring some order to a very busy 2 year olds room.
