Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My three year old is a rambunctious water bug. He loves to splash in his pool, run in the sprinklers, and play outside. All of those things end up expending a lot of energy in the long run but also creating a very hyper boy that requires winding down after those activities. This water table gives him the freedom to be outdoors and play with water but he doesn't get nearly as wild with it. He takes his time to play with the boats and brings some of his other water toys to play with it. I like that it isn't round because it tucks away nicely in the corner of the patio when it's not in use. It has enough space for two kids to play together with it. Perhaps three if they share nicely. The materials the legs are made with are not solid pieces of plastic and so it can be a bit flimsier than some of the other water tables on the market. However, I don't feel it is in danger of tipping over (although I wouldn't recommend allowing your child to climb up on it.) I like that it is made in America and is for an affordable price. Cheapest water table on the market and quality doesn't suffer. I also love that there isn't a plug on this table (to drain the water) some might find this to be a negative, but I often find that those plugs simply cause the water to leak out before anyone wants it to. The table has a deep enough section that when summer and warm weather are over I'll be able to convert this to an indoor table and use it for a 'sensory box' and put rice in it and bury items for my kids to sift through. It's a great little table and activity center. Could it be bigger? Sure. Could it be more solid? Yes. Is it worth the price point. Absolutely! Is it safe? Yes. Does my son love it? YES! Would I recommend it? Indeed I would. **UPDATED 04/2013** We have now owned this product for nearly 2 years. It has held up to outdoor weather, sun, and two toddlers and all components are still in equally as good of quality as when originally purchased.
