KidKraft Waterfall Mountain Train Set and Table

We bought this table for our 2 year old for his birthday, and he loves it.A big plus is that it is compatible with wooden Thomas and Friends trains, just be aware that it is "mostly compatible" the magnets for the Thomas cars/engines are stronger, and they don't handle the hills with as much ease.This can lead to tragic derailments with large trains going down hills, but I suppose that can teach future railroad engineers a lesson about loading beyond capacity.Also, there is no way to line up the parts that involve water (bridge and waterfall) with the water printed on the table you have to decide whether the waterfall or the bridge goes over the main body of water, but not both.These are minor gripes though, and overall it's a fun toy that our son loves.

OK, I was very hesitant about ordering this item as it seemed too good to be true.We had been to the big box stores and they have all the brand name Thomas sets and if you enjoy nice packaging and the idea of spending big bucks for tiny sets, read no further and waste your money at the local retailer.However, if you want a great train set and a table to keep everything elevated and organized, this deal is too good to pass up.Package came via UPS free shipping; no tax (depends where you live); box was in tact and in good shape.Table was easy to assemble less than 30 minutes.Instructions are clear and easy to understand and illustrate every step.I was so pleased with the table, I figured the train set would be lacking in some way just the opposite.All the track pieces are uniform and fit together well.Some of the town pieces (helipad & crane) require assembly, but are easy as well.The whole time I was putting this together and setting it up, I was thinking how much our little boy will love this set.He is only 2 but he is very careful with his toys.Set says ages 3 and up you will have to use your own judgement.I will most likely scale down the number of pieces I let him play with and give him more as time passes.This will keep his interest peaked and also help to avoid lost pieces.

We really like this table. The train portion of the table has a good picture. You can flip the boards to plain wood--we've done that to convert to a lego/art table. The drawers underneath, when full of trains etc., are too heavy for the slats and will fall. Then again, we have a lot of train track. The track and trains/toys that come with this set were not up to par. The mountain is cheap and some real Thomas trains have trouble going through. Our airport didn't come with screws (and I'm sure KidKraft would have sent new ones, but we didn't take the time). The bridge, gas station, helicopter, and crane broke within six months. We didn't mind too much since we had other stuff to replace it with, but if this were my only set, I would have been disappointed. The trains were really cheap.

So, the table/is still great. The track works. We like it overall, but then there's all that other stuff to consider.

This train table is fantastic. I was looking to purchase a train table for my son that was sturdy, included the wooden tracks and had underneath storage and this has all three. It also includes trains, cars, boats, buildings, trees etc. I was originally planning to later purchase trundles but there is no need since the bins slightly neatly on an underneath rack. The only improvement kidkraft could make on this table is to change the wood but it's still sturdy and obviously my three year old doesn't care if it's not made out of pine.
