Review of Beck Children's Wooden Table with Two Chairs

I thought it was made of wood but it's more pressed particle board.The screws end up breaking the "wood" if you screw them in too tight.Part of the chair was broken when it got it.I had already started to put the other stuff together when I found it so I glued it together and moved on.Two of the screws did not go in all theway because the slot for the screwdriver got stripped.One screw was molded incorrectly so bad that it was just a flat piece of metal.I had to find a screw of my own.I essentially have to build this thing myself.I liked the colors for the table and the chairs would have been fine if all had worked accordingly.Wouldn't get this again though.

Review of KidKraft Heart Table and Chair Set

I bought this for my 18 month old daughter. She is able to get in and out of the chairs all by herself and loves sitting at the table and coloring. The chairs are very sturdy - enough for an adult to sit on - and the table cleans really easily. A Mr. Clean magic eraser wipes crayons off the table top without much effort. This was well worth the money and I think we will have it for years to come.

Review of Beck Children's Wooden Table with Four Chairs

The photo isn't correct, the table is jet black (looks brown in the photo) and the gray chair is actually pastel blue.Three screws and a washer were missing and one of the chair legs was broken off.All the screws were loose inside the box and scratched some of the furniture pieces.I can't believe the manufacturer would just throw the screws in the box but I didn't find an empty screw bag inside the package.Most of the preinstalled screws for the table top were either loose or stripped and one had fallen out and was floating around inside the box.If you buy this product I strongly recommend you retighten all the screws already installed on the table top to make sure the product is safe for your children.

Despite all the problems I can't say I'm totally disappointed.The table and chairs are a nice height for my two-year-old.They are stable on carpet and don't rock back and forth.I guess you get what you pay for and at this price I was expecting to find some blemishes.However, there's no excuse for a broken chair leg and missing parts.I contacted Amazon Customer Service and they were great.They're sending me a replacement unit and I'll send back the broken one.Hopefully, this busted up unit is a fluke.I'll have to wait and see if I have the same problems with the replacement unit.I'll try to update this review after I get the replacement.

-----UPDATE-----
The new unit was better but it still had problems.All the parts were there, no chair legs were broken off, and the screws were in a sealed bag rather than floating around inside the box.However, this product isn't packaged very well and the table top had a large gouge on the side and some chair pieces were scratched or chipped. Fortunately, we had two sets of table and chairs so we were able to pick out the best pieces before sending one back to Amazon.I agree with the other reviewer about the screws and pre-drilled screw holes not matching up well.I had to make some new holes on some parts.Overall I think for the price this product serves its purpose.If it cost any more I wouldn't buy it.I think we'll be able to get 1-3 years use out of it.Between two small kids I assume it will be in shambles by then :-)

Review of Table and Chairs Set

I really like this table and chairs set.It's durable, easy to clean.My only con would be that the plastic legs slide too easily on my hardwood floors.The chair legs once even slid out from under my son.I had to put non-skid rubber pads on the bottom of both the table and chairs... and they fall off sometimes.Other than that, it's great.I had considered other expensive wooden sets ($100-$200+), but for the money this is so worth it. As a place for my son to sit and draw and paint, it works just fine.

Review of Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Table & Chairs Set

I recently bought this table and chair set and put it together for my two year old.It's excellent quality, heavy solid construction.The main reason I'm writing a review though, is about Melissa and Doug's customer service.I had trouble threading a screw through one of the table legs, and found a number for the company on the underside of the table.I called, a real person answered, and they sent a table leg right out to replace the faulty one.No drama, the call was finished within 5 minutes.Hooray for a company that values their customer's time and doesn't give them the run around!I would definitely buy this set again.

Review of KidKraft Nantucket Table & 4 Pastel Chairs

Like the other two reviewers, I loved this table and chairs when it first arrived. It is so lovely, with the cute pastel chairs. Unfortunately, after 6 months it's not so lovely anymore because the paint is chipping off all the edges. I'm very sad because what did look like a charming table and chair set for a reasonable price now looks tattered after half a year. Compare that to the pine set from IKEA that we've had 3 years that still looks brand new for a third of the price. If you do decide to buy this set, I would recommend applying a protective coat of polyurethane or similar to minimize paint chipping. Also, my husband used an electric screwdriver to assemble the set and the chair backs split in several places when the screws went in because of cheap wood. I would recommend using a hand tool and a light touch. I can't say I wouldn't recommend the set but I would recommend taking the above steps to avoid trouble ahead. It is super cute and the kids love having the four chairs for more kids, dolls, imaginary friends, etc.

Product Description
