My son (3 yrs) loves this table. We had some friends over the other night and the 3 boys had a blast sitting at their own table. The umbrella is easy enough for an adult to remove with a tug, but difficult for the kiddos (just the way I want it). But, if they do get it out or pick it up if I leave it laying on the ground, there isn't really anything inherently dangerous about it. (Sidenote: anything in the hands of a 3-year-old boy can we dangerous. I'm just saying there aren't sharp edges, point ends, etc that present immediate dangers).

Assembly was easy and straightforward. I love that it can collapse to flat. We leave it out all the time in the yard, but once collapsed, it should fit in our car which will be great for long days at the park.
