The raised edges on the table is a crayon saver for sure.  I really appreciated that most items do not end up on the floor due to this feature.  It is very easily cleaned whether it is marker or crayon mess, food (they love to eat at "their" table), or just day to day dust and dirt.  I'd have given it 5 stars but the set is a bit small for two toddlers and the chairs easily tip over.
