I bought this table after reading the reviews for both the Little Tykes and Step 2 table. The Step 2 had better reviews and a better price. My three year old girl &amp; 10 year old boy love it. The sand &amp; water do mix but what can one expect with kids? The only complaint is the slow leakage of the water but that has been addressed. All in all a great product that keeps kids busy for hours.
