Kidkraft Metropolis Train Table and Set

My two year old loves this toy! He loves trains of all kinds and this was the perfect Christmas gift. He plays wit it every day AMD loves taking it apart and putting it back together. I love the trundle. The toys fit perfectly and there is enough room for more toys. I have never been happier with a toy.

We've had this table for six months and it is great. It is durable, made of nice wood (only the top and bottom are pressed wood) and the height and size of it is perfect for our living room / playroom. The drawer is easy for our 2.5 year old to open on his own; when he was a few months younger, it wasn't as easy for him to open, fyi. For our son, he loves the minature vehicles (police car, school bus, helicopter, plane, etc.). The mountain region, bridges and tracks didn't last long ON the table and we finally stored them for future use. Kids at this age love to take things apart, move them, etc. so you might find that they'll grow into aspects of the set.

As parents we LOVE the drawer storage. It's tall enough to store the larger ambulance, truck and race car our son has, as well as bags of legos, etc. My husband also puts our 5-mos old in her Bumbo seat (monitored, of course) on the top of the table b/c it is so short to the grown so then our son can play with his sister more easily. BOTH of our kids actually sit up on it, that is how durable and strong it is.

One thing I will mention, as with all wood products you buy, you might find a nick on the wood here and there when assembling. As perfectionists, that sort of thing can bother us, but the nicks were in places where no one sees them, once assembled.

This table is the center of most of our son's hours of play.

I read Amazon reviews of all the kidkraft train/table sets before settling on this one, and walked away with an overall impression that kids love them even despite the problems, which seemed to be difficulty in setting up and a variety of technical problems like tracks that don't stay together, trains that don't stay on track when they go down and around curves, and drawers that don't fit their tracks and consequently fall out. Set up difficulties do apply to this model, but, properly warned by earlier reviews, the first thing I did when I opened the boxwas to label each piece of track, using the list of contents (which labels them S, SB, E2, E3, etc). That helped a lot, because it made it easy to use the map that came with the instructions to put the track together. Other than that, this model doesn't seem to have any of the technical problems mentioned in other interviews. The tracks do stay together relatively well; some parents reported having to glue them down, but although the track set as a whole does slide around on the top of the table when my son plays, it stays in one piece (my son of course routinely pulls the tracks apart himself, but that's another issue). This model has sides or walls on the curved track pieces that come after hills, which I'm guessing is why we aren't having trouble with the trains falling off. A quick look at the pictures from versions I didn't buy suggests that they don't have those walls, though not all the walls in our train set are clearly marked in this picture either. Finally, this model has a drawer that doesn't attach to the table at all; it rather has its own set of wheels, so there is no problem with it falling off. It's huge, and great storage, and my son has become fond of standing in and even jumping in it, and so far no breakage (34 pound son, one week of use). And this part repeats what other parents have said he just loves the set. He got it for his birthday (3) and has been playing pretty much nonstop since. The set is very clever, conducive to creating stories, and also to playing with a few children at once. There are lots of little people, with lots of buildings for them to go into, a street, a track, a construction site with a crane, and a boat. The table is large, and the various potential activities are set up far enough away from each other that several children can have different stories going on at once. Overall, I would highly recommend.
