"We were looking for a modern table that looked as good in adult land as kid land and this one fit the bill. We will most likely always use it in the down position as it is now our new coffee table in the family room. It has proven sturdy and we love the rolling, completely discreet toy box underneath. I doubt we would have been ok shelling out so much for just a playtable, but with double duty as a coffee table, we feel it is a great value.
NOTE: the playmat has to be cut to fit and does not fit the entire width of the table. Hopefully land of nod will correct this in the future. In the meantime, we think a slightly ill fitting playmat is better than no playmat and it still protects the table."
