Beck Children's Wooden Table with Two Chairs

Customer Reviews

Pretty good buy

I had to have a second set shipped since the first one arrived damaged. That went very smooth--Amazon was great. The table and chairs were a little of a disappointment since the description said wood. I thought that meant solid wood. The chairs are but the table top is not. Even the second shipment had a little damage on the corners of the table. I decided not to bother with a second return. Wasn't really packed very well. For the money though all in all it was a pretty good buy and the grandkids will get a lot of use out of it

Very nice for the price

I love the look of the table, its gorgeous. However, some of the legs are uneven, so we are having to be creative with spacers to even it out. If I paid more than $40 I would be upset at this, but for free shipping and $35 bucks - its beautiful and worth the extra effort.

Colorful, but you better add additional support

The first thing a kid probably thinks when seeing this product is jumping into the seats and going right to work. The colors make it look like fun. We've had several young children over and none of them could resist parking themselves in and enjoying themselves.

However, my first thought was a concern for any child's safety who sits in it. These are not the most stable table out there, but you get what you pay for. While putting these together I've added some additional supports to make sure they don't topple over and hurt a kid. I would advise you to do the same. One of the tables wouldn't even come together properly without two trips to Home Depot for some extra support.

Kids love this, but be aware of its quality. I'm surprised products like this are sold in the condition they come in.

Amazon, I liked the style/colors/size of the Children's Wooden Table with Two Chairs. However, the shipping & handling was not up to satisfaction, the box containing the Table/chairs was damaged. The Table has 2 side wooden boards that connect the legs, with a split in it (I fixed it the best I could.
Secondly, the hex head/top (10x21/2") on the screws stripped easily. I went out and purchased phillips'head screws and used them, worked better. The wooden pegs that connected the backs of the chairs to the upper chair frame, one was broke off. I drilled a hole & screw hole insert (drexel tool), that worked.
That's why I rated it 3 stars. For when I had it all together with my additional repairs/screws, it was pretty solid.
Respectfully submitted, Jim Killoren

Major Flaws

Not to impressed with this company. 3rd item I have bought and the table top had to be reglued and screwed. Also the table top had major horizontal cracks. I don't believe they check their quality of their products.

Good value

It was easy to assemble. And lightweight. The quality of ply is poor but the price is also low. The paint quality is decent. The quality of screws were not so great. So, be careful when you are tightening.

Overall, a decent kid's table for a decent price.

Wooden chairs & table.

	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!!!!
