This set was easy to put together. It's plywood, but solid and sturdy. It's a great size. My 2.5 year old is smaller, but can get up on the chairs. There's lot of space for him to grow. The edge of the table legs and chairs is kind of rough where the layers of ply are exposed. I might put some varnosh on them to make sure it's wipeable  My only concern is the white part chipping and getting digs on the edges.
