When my son was almost 3 we go this for him to set up his trains/tracks on. There is plenty of room for a larger set of tracks and few buildings. It has been primarily used as a train table, but it has seen the LPS figures and playsets, blocks, and not to forget Legos/mega bloks. The only downfall for me is the one storage drawer. We have many tracks and trains and the drawer just wont hold them all. It would be ideal for me if there was a drawer on each end instead of the middle, where they can be a little deeper and longer and wider. I plan to make some rolling drawers to house all the tracks and trains and use the drawer in the middle for just the accessory pieces. Overall this table has lasted the tough abuse my two kids have put it through so far.
Pros: Durable, Easy Assembly, Great Value
I would recommend this to a friend!

We bought the train table for my two sons, they love to play with their Thomas the train set on it. They love art, painting and drawing with their tabletop easel on it. It is just the best all around play table in my opinion.
Pros: Easy Assembly, Entertaining, Fun, Great Value

I have been looking at play tables for the kids for a while, for play and for therapy activites. I do not believe in coffee tables because they just become one more clutter spot for me , and they really needed a higher level than the floor to play on! Decided on the Melissa & Doug Multi-Activity Play Table. Anyways, having used A LOT of Melissa & Doug products, but never one I had to put together, I was excited and nervous at the same time. I have to say, it was the easiest put together I have ever done (and I've done ALL the ones in my house...not hubby's thing!). I was a little overwhelmed at first when I saw the instruction booklet was FIFTEEN pages long, but then when I looked at it, realized that each page was ONE STEP, with clear illustrations, and actual sized pictures of the hardware to be used on that step. Was super easy to put together, really sturdy, and MADE IN THE USA! Just thought I'd share incase anyone else was wondering about a play table for their kids. LOVE THIS ONE!!!!
Pros: Best instructions EVER, Durable, Easy Assembly, Entertaining, Fun, Great Value, Interactive, Realistic

Nice size. Easy assembly. Also purchased the wooden railway, and my 3=yr-old grandson loves it! Would have liked the storage drawer to have been larger, but my grandson doesn't put the pieces away anyway.
