My son loves this table.  He has a sandbox so we just fill both sides with water and it helps keep him cool on hot days.  The umbrella is helpful for shade - its nice that they thought to include it.  He is really into cars and trucks so he mainly uses the "track" and bridges to drive his cars around.  The only thing that would make this product better (and give it 5 stars) is more tracks.  Oh-and I like the color...it is a pretty shade of green.  Even nicer looking than the forest green you see more often.    Finally, they are making more toys that are NOT all primary colors.  Who wants everything bright red, yellow and blue anyway??
