This is the epitome of train tables. It has a huge train set with lots of extra accessories like little people, trees, and road signs. There are also storage bins underneath. This table is great quality and could be interesting for a younger preschooler or older child who likes to build. The table is bigger than I had envisioned (I didn't really measure using the dimensions before buying). It's also pretty complicated to set up the train using all of the pieces. My three year old only uses about 1/3 of the train pieces at a time which is much more manageable for his level. Also, it's too large for him to reach all the way across while playing, so he needs access to all sides of the table. The printed road top of the table turns over and could be used as a plain play table as well. Assembly wasn't too difficult - pretty average difficulty for the general run of the mill DIY furniture.

One of the Best Purchases We've Made for Our Twins!

We purchased this train table for our three-year-old son for Christmas because, like all little boys, he loves trains and cars. We searched on here for something he could use for a long time and thought this would be worth purchasing since he's a very busy boy and there are quite a few activities to do with this table alone. When he opened this table set and my husband started putting it together, our son could barely contain his excitement! He absolutely couldn't wait to get his little hands on this set and it's a good thing my husband is very handy and was able to put the table and all of the little pieces and structures together within a couple hours so our son could start playing with it right away. This set comes with a lot of pieces and I've included a couple pictures of the table so you can see what it looks like. The table itself measures 48 3/4" by 32 1/2" by 15" and is made out of sturdy wood. The board included is two pieces and has colorful pictures of grass, rocks, roads, and water. It comes with a lot of wooden track pieces and some are arched so the track isn't just flat. This set also comes with a helipad, helicopter, small airport runway that consists of four puzzle pieces, a plane, a plastic mountain with a waterfall, a bridge, a turntable that really works, a crane, and small wooden pieces made to look like a hospital, police station, fire station, and gas station. The hospital, police station, fire station, and gas station are small pieces of wood painted to look like the buildings rather than actual three-dimensional buildings. This set also comes with little wooden people, wooden trees, street signs, a boat, and a couple cars and trains. It does not come with many trains though so you will probably want to purchase some. We bought Orbrium Toys 12 Pcs Wooden Engines & Train Cars Collection Compatible with Thomas Wooden Railway, Brio, Chuggington which work perfectly with this set. We also have a number of the Thomas and Friends wooden trains such as Fisher-Price Thomas the Train Wooden Railway Thomas and Fisher-Price Thomas the Train Wooden Railway James Engine which are compatible with the wooden tracks in this set. We've also purchased some of the trains from local stores that cost a couple dollars each and they work with this set. There are also wooden beams you put underneath the table that hold three plastic bins for storing all of these pieces. We have had this set for almost five months now and my son continues to use it every day. It's one of his favorite toys and it has been such a good investment for us! Even his twin sister uses it and it's a lot of fun to watch them play together with it (when they are actually getting along which is rare). My kids are both about 37 inches tall and this table is a great size for them. They can stand or sit and use it. As they get taller, they can either sit on the floor or pull up chairs to use the table. I've even sat down on the floor and played with the table with them so kids of all ages can definitely benefit from this table set. The only issue I've come across is that sometimes the tracks and roads don't match up nicely. For instance, because of the way the track pieces are shaped they run across the roads and there aren't a lot of configurations but, for the most part, the tracks work nicely with the pictures on the board. My twins don't really care at this point but they may in the future and perhaps we can remove pieces of the track so it looks a bit more realistic. It works great for us right now and as long as our kids are happy, we are happy! If you have a little one who loves trains and cars, this table set will provide them HOURS of entertainment (plus it will give you a few minutes of peace and quiet, or at least no screaming)! My kids love this set and I'm glad they are able to both enjoy it. I know they will use it for years to come which is good considering the price. It is a more expensive toy but it has been extremely well-worth it for us and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. It has a lot of pieces but was fairly easy to put together and is still standing strong even after my three-year-old twins' daily playing, which is saying something! If anything happens that changes my opinion of this product, I will update this review. I highly recommend this table set for young children because it will keep them so busy and even adults will have fun playing with their kids with it!

Stands up to Child Abuse

Who knew looking for train tables would include so many variables. At Christmas time my husband and I wanted to get our son a big gift as we do every year. So, this year we decided that we would get him a train table for our MIL home daycare. I needed to find something that was: 1. Affordable (train tables aren't cheap!). 2. Would be safe around some children at a daycare. 3. Sturdy, and would hold up to child abuse. 4. Needed storage. 5. Includes the tracks, and trains. The KidKraft Waterfall table meet all of our criteria. We even chose this one over a Melissa and Doug due to the fact that it includes the trains, tracks, and other aspects of the track. Which is a huge plus. As a track set alone can set you back 30 to 50 bucks. Melissa and Dougs tables don't include that. Another selling point for us was more of the personal nature. We live in San Francisco so how neat is it our son can not only go over the Golden Gate bridge in real life, but also play like is with his trains. It has now been 3 months since the table has been used on a daily basis, in a daycare, with multiple kids playing with it. It has held up really, really well. It still looks new, it is sturdy, and we're able to keep all of the pieces together. We are so very happy with out purchase and recommend it to any daycare workers. doctor offices, libraries, and toy rooms :D

Well-made, sturdy, and fun

My kids LOVE this. One nice thing are the bins that fit below the table, which can hold not only the stuff ON the table, but possibly trains and other toys. My kids use it for everything, including their matchbox cars, and call it "Trainland". Very well made and durable. The waterfall and the bridge are the only parts that feel plastic-y and cheap. Floor is painted with the pathways and some detail, so taking the tracks off and using it for virtually any type of play is easy and accommodable. The tracks are the same as the Lillabo tracks sold by Ikea, so if you already have some it gives you even more possibilities, on and off the table. Good purchase. Be sure to pay attention to the measurements before you buy to make sure you have enough room for it - this takes up a lot of space!

Great deal

I had this on a list for a while and a few days ago noticed it was on sale for 45% off. To beat that, there was also a warehouse item available for 60% off. At the orignal price, I was willing to say we didn't need it as we're already cramped for space in our narrow townhouse. But at the discounted price, even my husband was like "heck yeah!" So this is like an early Christmas gift for our 2.5 year old boy. He always gravitates towards the train sets at other people's houses so this was a win. He is already using the pieces for imaginative play and adding his other toys to the mix. Assembly was super easy. There's only 8 pieces to the table plus 3 plastic bins. Less then 30 min with two of us. The train set assembly took another 30. Its really eaten up a lot of floor room so be prepared to sacrafice some space for it if your real estate is scarce. There were some very minor cosmetic flaws to our table but once assembled, you don't even notice it. Also one minor section that was pre-screwed and glued on to support the surface was cracked during assembly from over-tightening of screws, but it didn't effect the overall integrity so we gave that a pass. The surface is flippable- from picture to plain wood laminate surface. I can see this being an excellent lego or hobby table when he outgrows the train. Our public library has a similar table (smaller) and they used a protective plexiglass to cover the surface. Yes- like some other reviewers have commented- the wood toy structures need to be assembled and some fit rather loose. However a little wood glue will take care of the issue. My boy also requested I add sirens and a star logo to the police car and firetruck which I happily obliged with some adhesive paper. Overall, The quality is as expected and we are satisfied. Its no Pottery Barn, but if you are looking for quality, I think you should be looking at a train set sold separately from table. I should point out that my son is fairly gentle with his toys and I absolutely do not allow table climbing in the house. While the table is fairly sturdy for what its meant for, I wouldn't trust it to hold up a child jumping or standing on it. I've bought a few Amazon warehouse deals now, and honestly if you are just buying for yourself, it really is worth taking a chance on. Most of the time it is just the outer packaging that has been damaged.

Great quality for a fraction of the price of the ...

I was worried my son would play with this table for a week and be done with it. We've had it for 6 months and he plays with it every day! Great quality for a fraction of the price of the "Thomas and friends" table. He loves to race his hot wheels cars on the tracks too.. hours and hours of entertainment! My husband & I love to help our son build new routes. We bought an expansion pack (it was "Thomas & friends" brand and fits perfectly with this set) to have more route options. It's been a fun family toy. If you have a child who loves trains- you will love this set!

Great table for my 2 year old twins and 9 year old!

I bought this last week for my twin boys 2nd birthday. It wasn't too hard to set up. Everything came perfectly in tact. My boys LOVE playing with it so much. I was going to glue the pieces down until I read an article on wooden train sets and it pretty much said that when they get to like 4-9 years old they will want to move it around and change it, build onto it. They will be more interested in it for years instead of it being the same old boring track that they had since they were 2. So far it hasn't been a problem not having it glued down, if they start taking it apart, I let them know we leave it together and I put it back. I've only had to do that twice! They play with it so well. One thing I did do is glue rubber pads under the waterfall, it was wearing the top of the table. My 9 year old loves playing with this train set too!

Great product so far and kids love it

Great product so far and kids love it. Not hard to put together...about 40 min for table and 1.5-2 hours for train set. The only thing is table is big so make sure you plan a spot for it to go as not easy move around due to size. It is not heavy, just big. The 3 storage bins a nice touch under it except kids always take them out and I have to put them back away so not sitting on floor . I think this purchase was worth the money.

Great variety of things to play with

It was difficult picking out which train table would be best based on so many options with positive reviews but I decided to go with this one because I felt it offered a good variety. The train table was a birthday gift for my 2 year old boy but my 4 year old girl loves playing with it as well. Note that a lot of the Thomas the Train collections will not fit on these tracks. However, it comes with a good amount of pieces and things to play with so in my opinion it's not a big deal.
