Perfect size for our patio and love that there are two compartments, we use one for sand and one for water. Our 18 month old daughter adores playing with this table. Having a top that secures tightly is great to protect the sand from rain. I think we will get many years of play out of it- our friends have the same one and their children, ages 4 and 6, still play with it for hours! This is one of our best toy purchases yet and well worth the money.
