My 4-yr-old loves his table. The images make it look like it might be a bit to short for an older toddler, but my little guy is right at 3' and the table is at a natural level for him to stand and play. Assembly was very easy. Only one detail to be mindful of, when attaching the legs, it's very important to make sure that the rubber gaskets at the top of the legs are very firmly seated in the table, particularly on the side that holds water. If the gaskets are misaligned or not fully inserted, water will slowly leak (realized this when water slowly drained overnight).
