Nice!

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2019

Great table! Good size and nice height. Easy to put together (4 legs and 2 screws in each). The umbrella was larger than I thought which was a nice surprise. The lid is handy and attaches with 2 bungy type bands. I filled it with 12 lbs of knetic sand and it's a hit! Pictured are my 2 and 5 year old.

Okay. Leaks a lot.

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2021

Step 2 normally has amazing products so I didn’t think twice about this purchase. However, it leaks a lot. The water somehow manages to work its way inside the table making it incredibly heavy and difficult to move. Them it leaks from a seam on the bottom side of the table. We store it in the garage so it doesn’t blow away during storms, and our floor is now always wet from the mystery leaking despite draining the water side.

The umbrella is not as stable as I would like. Any amount of wind causes it wiggle, so if a larger kid or adult is standing too close they get hit with the umbrella’s movement.

My 2 year old loves this table. Even with the annoying leaking and wobble with the umbrella, it has been great to have outside for playing. We pull the drain on each side to get the water out, and snap the lid on to keep bugs/animals out of it when not in use. If you’re on the fence between this one and a different one, I’d suggest the different one. Maybe it won’t leak all over the place for days after you empty it.

Got this for indoors 💜

I have a 10 year old and a 2 year old now I talked about getting this my 10-year-old wasn't super excited about it but then when she saw it and I filled it up she loves it and played with it for a good hour the first day we got it and my 2-year-old when she got home and saw it was so excited. I love that it covers the whole thing I don't know why this isn't a thing for all water tables and sand tables there should be a complete cover so that when Mom say no you can't play with it right now that there's a top also when it goes outside you don't want animals getting into it and cats peeing in the sand and stuff so it's really important that it has a cover plus it's easier to keep the water cleaner. We like to do a lot of sensory Play we like to do slime orbeez playing shaving cream bubbly water we want to try kinetic sand oobleck we just do a lot of sensory stuff in the buckets were great but they made such a huge mess when I used the buckets plus it's hard to find a place to store all those buckets. this is absolutely perfect it doesn't really show it in the picture but there's a little bit of a slope around the sides with a tiny little bit of an edge and it makes a whole lot less of a mess! When I was using buckets on the floor and played with orbeez there was literally orbeez everywhere within minutes but my girls happily played with this with a mat underneath it for a while and of course they don't try and be careful either and there were some orbeez on the floor but nothing like before. I literally have no complaints about this water table I'm very happy with it I'm very glad that we got it and that I chose this one. also love that it has two slots right now we currently have one slot filled with orbeez in another slot filled with water. if I had to complain about something the only thing I would complain about is the little bridge that goes on it is made to be moved easily so that if kids didn't want to play with it they didn't have to but the problem is that when they do want to play with it it just falls off so easily that it's almost impossible to play with and that was frustrating my 2-year-old quite a bit so she just uses it as a slide now thanks to her big sissy who came up with the idea. And also I can't stand it when you go to put something together and find out there's no pre-drilled holes I'm one of those people that can't stand putting furniture together or any of thing of the sort and I just can't stand it when they do not pre-drill holes LOL like I bought this water table I did not buy a Dyi project 😩🤦😅
But still absolutely love it I have it in my kitchen with an absorbent mat underneath it. every couple of weeks I plan on putting a new sensory thing in there and I love that the cap is on and that the cover has it there so that the times that I'm cleaning and we're all done playing they can't get into it when I'm not looking LOL. It's not just placed on top it has little loops that tightly go around these two soft knobs that stick out of the sides so that it sticks on tight. Easy for an adult to take off but would be challenging for a little kid to take off. I can't even decide if I want to put this outside in the summertime or not because it's so great having it right there in the kitchen so that I can cook two laundry clean dishes will they have something to do without making a giant enormous mess! well depending on what's in it lol they might get a little messy themselves but at least it's not all over the floor and everywhere 😅😅 and ask for fun well obviously it's fun cuz even my 10-year-old didn't think it would be fun but yet she's loving it! Of course she has to sit on her knees or sit on a chair to play with it but she doesn't seem to mind it beats sitting completely on the floor to play in a bucket.

Fun for a kid and dog

Color: BlueDesign: TableVerified Purchase

I got this for my 18-month old this summer and she loves it. We just filled both sides with water, and it's worked great. I haven't really bothered to use the lid that much since it's just for water, I just drain and refill it every day. The dog loves it too! He thinks it's his outside water bowl. The only downside is the umbrella is super flimsy, but I really was buying this for the table not the umbrella. It cleans really easy, I just use some disinfecting wipes whenever it gets too dirty and wipe it down. All in all, really pleased with this purchase!

I bought this for my 2 year old daughter. We use it with sand and with water, but they all sort of end up mixed together. She loves it. She can play independently for as much as 45 minutes! For a 2 year old, that's a huge endorsement. Of course, it's sort of messy and you end up changing clothes after play time and tracking some sand in the house, but that's no big deal and worth it for the length of time she plays. It's well made and sturdy. I think I put maybe 25 lbs of the play sand you buy at Home Depot. The lid is helpful and there are drain plugs on both sides, so you can drain it each time they play. Definitely worth the price.

I bought this for my 11 year old. I know I know but hear me out. My daughter loves playing outside with her dinosaurs in water and sand. We live i a rural area and I wanted her to have something she could close and not worry about snakes and critters being in. This is absolutely perfect!!! It’s got two sides you can do water on one sand in the other it has a lid that seals pretty dang well aaaaannnndddd the cute little umbrella is a huge bonus!

drains on both sides is key!

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2018

Color: BlueDesign: TableVerified Purchase

I debated which one of these to purchase and am glad we went with this one. It was easy to assemble and there are no leaks. My kids love playing with it and the umbrella is a really cool addition. It's super messy. They don't keep the sand and water separate so the whole things is pretty muddy. I am very happy that both sides have a plug for draining. My only complaint is that it dumps out a good bit of the sand when you drain the water down. I'm not sure how this could be avoided. Sand is very cheap so no big deal. I really like how snugly and simply the top fits on.

I saw a few of these with more neutral/natural colors which was appealing but this one is really nice in person.

I bought this because of the reviews

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2015

Color: BlueDesign: Table

I spent three days reading reviews, checking different sites and hunting in local stores for the table that would work best for my soon to be 3 year old. I am so pleased we picked this table. We are currently using both sides for water only and this winter we plan on bringing it inside and using it as a sensory table. The height is perfect because she doesn't have to bend over but can still reach all sides. It is large enough that when her two cousins age 3 and 6 come over they can all play and not bump into eachother. I wasn't sure we would use the umbrella because we have a large tree in our back yard but it has come in handy the few times we've moved the table to different locations without shade. The table is extremely sturdy and has given us no concern so far. I like that the legs screwed in instead of simply popping in like other tables. The lid is very tight once attached and even during strong winds doesn't come loose. I highly recommend this table for anyone looking for a table that can be used for any season, inside or outside.

Daughter loves it

My 18-month-old is always playing in the bathroom sink, so I thought this would keep her busy outside. She loves it! She doesn't play with anything for more than a few minutes at a time, but she played with this table for over 30 minutes today. I used a power drill to screw the legs in - seemed easier than using a hand screwdriver.

Great for the grandkids

Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2021

Color: GreenDesign: TableVerified Purchase

We have 3 grandkids, an almost 3 year old boy and twins (boy and girl) that just turned one. I bought a Step 2 outdoor house last year and was looking for something else for them to play with when they visit. The Step 2 water/sand table is rectangular and there is plenty of room for the 3 of them to find space. It has two separate spaces for the sand or water and it has a "road" around it with hills and a couple of bridges connecting a little island. It was a little chilly for water one day, so the 3 yr old had a great time with it and his cars. The Wee Ones are on the small side, so they are just able to splash in the water and scoop it up, so the height is good for them and fine for the older brother. The lid fits nicely and has a sort of bungee cord that holds it on tightly that is easy to secure. The only assembly was putting the legs in the holes and firmly pressing down. We have not used sand yet, so no comment on that. It came with a couple of little boats, a cup, and an oddly shaped shovel, as well, but I put in more cups and little pitchers, too. It is a hit with my grandkids and I am happy with the quality and durability of the table.
