My 20-month-old loves this table. When the weather's bad, we bring it into the basement and she sits and colors. When the weather's nice, it's out on our deck so she has someplace to sit with friends when we entertain. The umbrella is a little flimsy so definitely bring it indoors when you're not outside. Also, we needed a drill for assembly as some of the holes for the screws were not where they were supposed to be. But once my husband got the drill, it was pretty easy to put together.
