Bought this for one of my son's children. Very nice that it folds up for storage. the 1 yo and 3yo fit on it nicely. They love it.
This table was perfect for my kids to sit and color or do crafts. My kids are 5 and 8 and this table works perfect for them. I also love that the seats just slide under the table.
my 1 year old, 5 year old, and 9 year old love these! we keep them on the window sill and it makes it fun to look through. My 1 year old realized right away that they nest together and practiced this process over and over again. It's fun to see what different types of objects look like through it.
My daughter loves having her dress up choices easily accessible and I love having them organized!
Great present for the triplets! Well made great size. Negatives are the rod had to be drilled for additional screw to secure as the rod kept falling out, but not a big deal. Also purchased canvas bins to hold accessories but they only fit under the rod and on top shelf .overall a big hit with the girls!
I contemplated buying a similar table and chairs from pottery barn but wasn't so sure about the price. I'm glad I checked Amazon first. This is great quality and looks just as good, if not better, than kids tables from pottery barn.
This dress up play set is fantastic. It was easy to assemble, holds all of my granddaughter's dresses and costumes with 2 bins for accessories (belts, tiara's, wings, etc...). We put all of her dress up shoes in the bottom and bags and purses on top. My only suggestion would be to replace the yellow bin as it looks out of place with the pastel pink and the purple but it's minor and probably just my preference. We will look for something the right size that may look better but this works fine. My granddaughter and the girls in the neighborhood love to dress up and the mirror is perfect for them. I read several reviews about the mirror getting scratched or just negative comments in general, not sure if they upgraded since then but this one is perfect, no issues at all.
I was initially going to purchase the guidecraft treasure blocks but because these were being sold at a 30 percent discount I chose to buy these instead. They are a surprising hit with my 2 year old son and the fact that he can open the tubes easily and access their contents is a huge plus. This would not have been possible with the treasure blocks with have to be unscrewed in order to open them. They've also included cards with beautiful photos that provide different concepts that can be explored using the treasure tubes. The only issues I've encountered have been with the glass. It smudges easily and attracts lots of lint and hair. It has also scratched at the top when my son pulls it unevenly to open it. Given the fact that rough objects will be placed inside (rocks, sticks, etc.) and will probably scratch them anyway I chose to over look these issues. If all goes well, I plan on also buying the treasure blocks.
It's a great desk, sturdy and well built. the color is gorgeous. my 9year old daughter loves it! it's very practical and functional. Easy to assemble.
Perfect sized blocks for a younger child. Lots of different items they can use their young minds to create.Happy with this item. Thank You
We used these blocks with our toddler to display found items (leaves, nuts, etc). The boxes are attractive and easy to open/close with a phillips screwdriver. They also seem to be (so far) durable and don't easily scuff.
I bought this for my 2 year old daughter so she can help see while we are working in the kitchen. It is a good product overall. Seems like it could be a bit safer if there was only one open side. Somehow she bumped her head on the top bar of one of the open sides as she was climbing out of it. I chose this product over others because it folds up. However, we rarely have folded it since we started using it. We usually leave it out next to the counter. Also, the feet stick out a couple inches so even when folded the bottom doesn't fit in as small of a space as I thought. Sometimes we trip on the feet, too. Despite the cons I mentioned, I'm glad we have the stool and my daughter seems to like it.
My daughter... is too active. She is only 1 and wants to help with EVERYTHING. So this is nice. I put her up in it and give her one of her toy knive things and a squishy banana and shes good the whole time I'm cooking. On the expensive side of what I wanted to spend, but the fact I cant fold it up and put it away, or take it with to the grandparents house... makes it sort of worth it!
One of the screws was not long enough to use the net with the device. I called guidecraft and they sent me a longer screw saying that this was a thing and we were covered! Recived the new screw within the week. My son loves being able to reach everything steadily now and I'm happy to know he won't be climbing on the dog food container to get up there anyway!
My grandchildren love having their own wardrobe, one that they can reach and it holds there dresser costumes on both sides. This is a piece of furniture. Well worth the money and gender neutral
This is THE ONE to buy!! It folds up easily and you can open it back up with one hand! (A necessity in Mom life!) It is incredibly sturdy, includes a net to prevent slips off the back and the bottom has a non-slip mat. It is also adjustable so it can grow with us. This one is worth the money! We use it everyday now!
