I'm a childcare giver for 2-3 yr olds and they love it. It is the first thing they want when we go out to play and someone is at the table the whole time. It is great for 3-4 children to play at a time. I put sand on both sides and they use the bridges and roadways for their trucks. The big legs make it sturdy and the lid has kept it dry and clean inside. The only thing is I wish it was deeper to hold more sand.
