Kidkraft Star Table and Chair Set

I ordered this set for my son's 4th birthday and he loves it. He eats, colors and plays at this table. The assembly was very easy. There was only one peice missing for the bins, but I called Kid Kraft and they sent me the missing peice without any problem.

This table is adorable.It has 4 storage bins included with it.It only took about 1/2 hour to put together.It is very sturdy as well.

I bought this last year for . I thought the bins would be helpful but they are not. What is means is that there is no room for legs so your child can only sit on the short ends of the table when what my daughter really wants to do is spread out her crayons etc on the long end. If she puts too much weight on the short end of the table, the only place where she can sit becasue the bins are in the way, the table will tip because the rectangle shape sets it off balance. Plus, you can't really fit as much as you might think in small bins angled in this way. In the end we scored a hand-me-down table from a friends which my 3 year-old uses for her art projects and she got a doll house for Xmas this year which now sits on top of this kidkraft table. Kind of a bummer to use atable as a doll house stand when you can pick up a table at Ikea for . This set is attractive but not very practical, especially for the price.

This table was a christmas gift in 2010. Here we are almost a year later, and this table has held up fairly well. However, I'm currently in the market for a new one...

I'll start with the pros first.

Pros:

Durable. My son just turned 3 when we gave this to him and since then he has really put this table through its paces. Toys have been banged on it, crayons and pens have made their mark, and I can't tell you how many times the table and chairs have been dragged around the house by my budding little home redecorator. My husband and I have even sat in the chairs with him on occasion and were surprised at how well they held us up given our weight compared to his.

I loved the idea of the different colored bins underneath. Originally we were sent only red and blue bins...BORING!! When I read the description, it said this table came with one red, blue, yellow, and green bin so I was kinda disappointed. I called Kidkraft (a bit anal...I know) and asked how I could get a yellow and green bin sent to me. The extra bins were sent my way free of charge. With all the small toys he had laying around the house I thought this was a great way to get things organized.

Size/Design. This table is perfect for kids ages 2-5. The backs on the chairs are high enough to comfortably support small children and the overall design of this set is just cute.

The reason I am looking for new table and chair set at this point is this whole allan wrench assembly. This may be better explained through the cons...

Cons:

Assembly!! This table took forever to assemble. We ran into problems when we realized that not all the pre-cut holes were aligned correctly. A few were about 2-3 millimeters off which doesn't seem like much but it made trying to fit the darn screws through the holes a pain in the butt!! Be prepared to argue with your spouse (should he/she help) for no reason at all other than frustration...

Constantly having to re-tighten screws that have come loose with an allen wrench that nobody can find!!

There are 4 weird looking screws? that go underneath the table to help bolt it down to the legs. It doesn't matter how many times we tighten it...they are forever falling out. So much so that my husband had to put two L brackets underneath instead to keep the table from coming off the legs when leaning against one end of the table.

The bins that come with this table broke with a few months. While cheap, I was expecting them to hold up a bit longer then they did. My child is also rough with toys so it was probably his fault versus kidkraft's quality.

While this is a nice table to look at, I am just sick and tired of tightening screws. I shouldn't have to be concerned about my child's safety, however at this point I am. I have come in his room many times to find him playing with loose screws that came from his chair. I am surprised he hasn't collasped while sitting in one yet. I personally wouldn't recommend this table and am hoping my new search will result in a table that has done away with allen wrenches because I have yet to find a piece of furniture that has any longevity when allen wrench assembly is used.
