Little Tikes Builder's Bay Sand & Water Table

I bought this a year ago.It is expensive and i expected better quaility for the price.Ties are not holding the lids on so it fills with water and it gets funky sand.The crain broke (the coolest part) last year about 4 months after purchase.There is also not a whole lot you can do with the way its set up. No room for sand castles but more room for a nasty sand mote which happends every time it rains.I would not recommend this product.

My boys ages 3 1/2 years and 17 months love the table. We've put sand on both sides of the table. They like to haul the sand from one side to the other. The digger will dump a little bit of sand outside the table but it's not too bad. The boys end up dumping it on their own anyway with the digger. It is a little shallower than I had expected but it doesn't seem to bother them. I am happy with my purchase. If your kids are into hauling loads of sand they will love this table. It is not really big enough for other types of sand play beacuse of the roads and ramps.

We bought this 2 years ago. The base is very sturdy and has taken two years of abuse, including being left outside all winter. However, within a few months of purchase the ties were completely stretched out and the plug that held the water in stopped working. I called Little Tykes which said it would take 8 weeks! to send me free replacements. Well that was the end of the summer, so that wasn't a grand solution, but I took it. They sent a complete set of all accessories (ties, plugs, crane, truck, etc.) The new ties were just as bad as was the plug. The kids definitely mix the sand and water since the two sides are connected but they don't seem to care. There is no place for a sand castle, as another reviewer mentioned, but the road part is cool. The umbrella lasted well over a year of being left out all the time and then my kids started taking it out and playing with it around the yard and it bit the dust. We didn't leave it up in the wind, but I didn't really expect it to be wind-proof so I was pleased with this. We used another standard beach umbrella to replace it and I was glad that it fit in the hole. the only complaint on the umbrella is that it was pretty low so as an adult it was hard to get under it and play with the kids. I like the way the base is curved which makes it easy to keep the kids separate. Also, with the raised bottom of the sand table, you can store buckets and shovels underneath, since not much fits inside.

overall, I give this a bad review because you can't keep the rain out unless you literally cover it with a tarp. After the ties wore out, we tried just putting small logs on top to weigh down the tops but they would not stay waterproof. The ties were elastic that went underneath and pressed into place, so there was no way to jerryrig another solution. Given that the covers were a big reason why I bought it, this was a big issue. If you plan to use this somewhere covered, the rest of the toy is pretty good, but given the high price, I would look to another one before this.

I purchased this sand and water table for my 21 month old son.

He loved his regular sandbox but was always getting so dirty.Now this table allows him to get up and move around the table and haul lots of sand.The crane is really fun.However, sand does get into the turning mechanism but that is to be expected.The umbrella is nice to have on it too so it can save him from some sun.Though we needed to anchor it down because it kept blowing away.My son runs outside everyday to play with it and loves it.It is pretty easy to put together if you have a magnet on the end of your screwdriver to hold the screws.Great price for tons of fun.

My son loves trucks, excavators, sand and water.This seemed like the perfect product to keep him busy for hours.Needless to say it does.He uses it most every day and loves all the toy trucks that came with it.He likes to make the boat go around the water canal and endlessly scoops and dumps the sand.

We like the umbrella as it helps to keep the sun off of him while he is playing outside.It has plastic covers to keep the cats and other critters out while not in use and the water area is easy to drain.

The product was very easy to assemble, but I used a power screwdriver with the long leg screws.Made in the USA at a reasonable price, really sold me on it.
