    What Do You Think Of This Table

    I was just about to order this table for my little guys, but wanted your valuable input. I only have 4 children ages 18-21 months old and i have a small space so I can't fit in anything too huge.
    I found this table on ETSY it is a bit pricey but it is in the budget at the same time.
    My playroom is mainly white, blue, green and gray. I was thinking of getting the white finish-but again am unsure if it will last as well as the darker stain.
    feedback much apprecitated

          If that ever happens you can right click the red x, and go to properties. it tells you the web address there. Here is it and its really cute!

          This is a fun, modern, and functional furniture set for your child. Price includes table and four chairs made from birch plywood with edges rounded off so there are no sharp corners. Finished with your choice of color and stain. The wood on the colored top, seat, and back are given a paint treatment

            Very cute table... though personally for my eating space I have a small plastic picnic table in my kitchen... and even my 15 month old sits on it just fine... what I like about is that there are no chairs to push around or sit sideways on... and there is always enough room on the table.. and when they are done eating I just flip it up and sweep underneth...

            So make easier then using the table and chair idea... but that is just what works for me and my space..

                Thank you so much for taking the time to post the link you rock!
                I like the picnic table idea too, just flipping it up makes so much sense in a busy day- maybe I will get the table for my own little one- I just love
                It

                  Well the other thing I love about the picnic table is that it really saves the space in my kitchen when it is not daycare time... flip it up and forget it..

                    I posted the picture for you. Here is the info on how to do it.

                    How to Place Pictures in your Post

                    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                    From a URL link
                    1) First find the picture on the webpage and right click your mouse over it. Click on "Properties" at the bottom of the dropdown window.
                    2) Copy the entire address (URL) of the picture. It will look like this: https://www.daycare.com/premiumpages/00138466/6.jpg
                    3) In your reply to this post you will see an icon that looks like a mountain.
                    Click on it and post the address that you copied for your picture.

                    Attached Thumbnails

                    The Second way is to upload a picture as an attachment:

                    1) After writing your post look below your comment area and you will see a button called Manage Attachments.
                    2) Click on the button and you will see 4 areas to upload load files.
                    3) Once you choose the image from your computer, click on the "Upload Image button".
                    4) Once the image is uploaded you will see the image name under "Current Attachments"
                    5) Click on the Close Window button and the bottom and post your image. I will include one at the bottom:

                      Okay. I went back and looked at the dimensions on the table and I don't think it is big enough for four children to use simultaneously. It's 24"X24"....a peice of construction paper or drawing paper is 9"X12" so they would be covering each other's work....for eating it MIGHT work, with little plates and cups. But for any type of activity it would be good for 1-2 children.

                      SO, as much as I LOVE it.....it probably isn't worth the expense of it....not practical for daycare, KWIM?

                      Get it for your little one instead!

                        It's very cute! I use booster seats at my daycare and those work great. I wish I had the space though to have something like thisl

                          Thanks Micheal
                          Also, I hear you about the size- I emailed the lady who makes them and she is able to do custom orders so I can increase the size of the table top. What dimension would you suggest? 32x32

                            Super cute!! I've been looking to find a nice cute table for the kids here too, but that one is way over my budget!!


                            Looks like that seller is only about 2 hours from me too!

                              Before I read the responses I will say 'DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' OMG, I am about to pull my hair out over these chairs and table set I have. In fact, I am giving mine away to one of my DC mom's before I go nuts! I am so so so so so sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tired of telling these kids 1 THOUSAND times a day to leave the chairs A-L-O-N-E. To put them B-A-C-K at the table.........they think they are musical chairs.....moving them all over the playroom.....tipping them over, sitting on the bottom while the chairs are upside down......over and over and over.......they don't give it a second thought that I've told them to leave them at the table......... in fact, just about 5 minutes ago, I removed the chairs from the playroom and put them in the kitchen. One of my 3 yr old girls asked why I took them away. I told her 'because, I told all of you to stop moving them and since no one is listening to me, I am taking them away until lunch time'.............I'm heading to Toys R Us this weekend to replace it with a picnic table!
