Naturally Playful Picnic Table with Umbrella

Customer Reviews

Love the Umbrella

2008-06-13
My 2 year old granddaughter loves this table. She eats on it and plays playdoh on it all while enjoying being outside. It's very durable and fits in well with the environment. The umbrella is the best part so she doesn't get sunburned or overly warm. Great product.

Love it!

I have a daycare and the kids love the new picnic table. They can all comfortably get on and off of it - ages 18 mo and up. It was really easy to set up and is very sturdy. It easily seats six toddlers.

Best kids table!

This is the best kids table on the market. It is made of durable and sturdy plastic. It easily fits 6 toddlers. My son loves that he has his very own table and enjoys having lunch on it with his buddies.

Great picnic table for kids!

My 18 month old daughter received this as a gift and has been using it for the last two months. We love it. The "natural" look and colors are pleasing. We keep this in her playroom and she can easily get on and off of the bench by herself and play with her toys on the table. The size of the table is small enough not to take up too much room, and it would easily hold 6 kids as advertised. It was quick to put together with a drill.
This table is made for kids only, adults cannot easily sit at this table and it is not strong enough to hold an adult's weight.

Great Product!!

This product is very well made, and will last a lifetime! I bought a toy box from Step2 for my first granddaughter 13 years ago and we are using it for my second granddaughter now who is 2 1/2 years old. I expect this picnic table to last just as long.The design is very unique from other tables, that is what caught my eye.They are a great company!

I am more than satisfied with [...]! They are a great company to work with. Items ship out quickly and are never damaged. The price is usually better than everyone else, also. I have never had a problem with them.

Great table...flimsy umbrella

2008-07-12
We love this table but we've already had to replace the umbrella after only 2 short weeks. I wish they would have a tie for the umbrella as the slightest gust of wind turns this inside out. I ordered a new one (another $[...]...ugh) and use my own tying mechanism to make sure the wind doesn't get this one.

Otherwise...it's a GREAT table...very durable and my son LOVES it.

Nice table for the $$$$

This table is sturdy, easy to assemble, and can fit 6 kids easily. The umbrella is a nice feature and the colors blend well in the yard. I would recommend this table.

Great picnic table!

My husband and I are very happy with this table. We purchased it for our son's 2nd birthday party. Six toddlers fit comfortably at the table. As with any plastic sitting in the sun, it does get a bit hot. Overall, I would recommend this picnic table!

Flimsy and tough to assemble

2008-06-21
This table is adorable and less expensive than the competition, so overall it's a good buy. However, it required 2 people to assemble because the large legs must be folded and held tight while screws are inserted. There were no pilot holes for the screws, and the plastic got extremely hot in the time it took to assemble the table outdoors. Furthermore, the bench noticeably sags when my 2 year old sits in the middle seat. I don't think it will support his weight by next summer (and he is an average weight for his age).

WONDERFUL & DURABLE

2008-06-16
I have had this table for 3 years now and it looks just as good as the first day we set it up outside. It accommodates children of all ages and is very study. I have, however, replaced the umbrella twice (in the three years.) Once due to us forgetting to bring it inside during a bad storm and the other time because our children decided to make a boat out of it! The replacement was easy to find on the STEP 2 website and under 20 bucks. And we have learned to bring down the umbrella after each use :) Overall, this has been a wonderful picnic table. It sits next to ours and the kids (now 5 &6) enjoy juice and hotdogs on a sunny day!

	Dora the Explorer Mr. Face Plush Backpack Review: My daughter is a big Dora fan and uses this backpack to carry around her favorite toys and books, which is why I gave it 5 stars for educational value. My friend's daughter has it as well, and love hers too. We've had it 6 months now and it's holding up just fine. The map opens up for an added bonus. My daughter likes to wear it and sing the backpack song from the show.
	Star Wars Episode III: Darth Vader Voice Changer Helmet Wow, do I ever wish they had this out when I was a kid! I bought it, and my wife, kids and I have all been playing with it. It has a chest box with several buttons that plays about 5 of Darth's quotes from the movies, or you can switch it to voice changer. The voice changer is fun! It has 3 different levels of depth for changing the voice. ... A must for Star Wars Geeks!!!!
