I bought this for my 21 month old daughter base on all the great reviews it has. After we put the set together, we are all very disappointed! It was very easy to put together without any tool, however, it is very flimsy and way to light. Below are the few things that make this product NO GOOD:
The surface of the chair is way too small even for my daughter. and of course, Adults or older kids won't be able to sit on it if they wish to play or sit next to her.
The chair is so light weight when my daughter try to sit on it, it would keep sliding backward so she fall down a few times trying to sit on it. We have hardwood floor and it DOES NOT work at all. We tried putting the chair on the foam play mat, but it still would slide around.
The table also is so light weight it does not stay in one place. It kept moving around just like the chair. It does not work for an active toddler.
The table is a single piece of thin plastic instead of a block of plastic that warp the air in. We own the Step 2 lookout tree house and I thought the table would be same good quality as the tree house. NOT SO! Very disappointing.
I got the set for under $50. With the same price, we went to IKEA and got a nice set of wooden table with 2 wooden chairs. The IKEA set is heavy and very durable. No more sliding chairs and table! (That really piss me off!) I am returning this, even tho it would cost about $13 to ship! I really dislike this set and am surprised there are only good reviews for this product.
Okay, so I am giving this to my daughter as one of her MANY presents at Christmas. I opened up the box just to see the quality of the product and im not surprised with it being a step 2 product. It is made from solid plastic and I can tell its going to hold up beautifully!! For only paying $35.00 this is a GREAT product. One of the step 2 chairs costs 25 new! I couldn't believe how resonable the price was. Also. there is NO ASSEMBLY!!!!!! Thats right!! NoNe!! I was dreading having to screw in and hold together pieces. But the table legs snap into the table top and the chairs slide together then snap too. Its a great buy and I am sure she will love it! Get it before the price goes up to the normal 50-75 dollar range! :)
Buy Step2 Table and Chairs Set (Tan) Now
We purchased this Step 2 table and chairs set to go with our 20 month old twins new Step 2 kitchen.We love the size, seat height (10") and colors.Also, liked that it was plastic for easy cleaning.We are, however, disappointed with this set and would not recommend it to anyone. We do not feel that it safe.1.Chairs are too light weight.The chairs move out from under the twins as they sit down.This happens on tile floors and some on the carpet.Putting felt under the legs does not help.The chairs still move on the tile floors.
2.The table is too light weight and moves around.If the twins do make it sitting in a chair, the table moves away from them as they brace themselves to sit down.
3.The table top has split on one side and I had to call Step 2 for a replacement top.Step 2 customer service was awesome and I received it in 3 days.
We will be getting ready of this table sit and be getting a heavier weighted table set with low height seats.I have seen one at my twins daycare that came from One Step Ahead.It is about 5 times as much in cost which I am not happy about but the set is heavy to works on tile floors and the height is low. We have a nice wood table and chairs set but the seat height is too tall and it will be a couple of years before they will be able to use.I really expected more from Step2, this table is flimsy and not at all meant for children, I bought this for my 5 year old who is very good with her things. She leaned over to grab a crayon and the leg bent in. JUNK!!! Don't buy this.I bought this table and chairs for my 4 & 2 year old girls for Christmas.I debated between it and another Step 2 table, but ultimately I chose this one because the price on the other table kept going higher and higher.I wish I had just waited and found the other table at a yard sale or something.It wasn't more than a month before one of the legs had bent and was difficult to keep on.We found a way around that...not pretty, but it stayed on.Then the table developed a small crack in the top, it the oddest place.I realize that the girls put it through some wear and tear, but I just don't think it was durable enough for 'real' use.Just to clarify, by real use I mean a 2 & 4 year old having a tea party, or coloring, or playing with Littlest Pet Shop on it.Those types of activities are too much for this table.
