This is a great little table for little ones. The quality is outstanding - both the table and umbrella. It was a challenge to put together, though. It definitely takes two people because some parts take one person to hold it in place and a second person to screw it together. As far as capacity goes - yes, you might be able to squeeze eight little ones around the table but they would be elbow to elbow. I bought it so my three grandkids could color, paint, play games and eat dinner on it. I think one child per bench is the max if you want them to have any space to do any activities. I like that it is square instead of oblong so you can put items in the center where all kids can reach them. The way this table was built to collapse (after removing the safety “joints”) is genius. It collapses flat to about a 6 inch depth so it’s easy to store in the garage either way on the wall or up in our ceiling platforms. The table isn’t inexpensive (I was lucky to get it on sale at $133) but the quality is outstanding, the product very sturdy and I love the fact that it came with a quality umbrella to give the kids shade while they are eating or crafting. And finally, you can’t beat the free shipping from Amazon!

Nice table. Well constructed. Purchased this larger table based on previous experience with the smaller picnic style table.

I bought this for my poolside for my toddler grandchildren. It’s wonderful. It’s sturdy & 5-6 kids can easily sit around it. It cleans up nicely & great for crafts. The umbrella provides shade. I recommend this for small children ages 1 1/2 (or older who can sit sturdily & won’t fall backwards) to abt age -6. It’s low to the ground for little ones to climb on unassisted. Great gift!

We love the table for our grandkids!

Perfect size for small children. Not too heavy and folds flat for storage. Assembly procedure is clumsy because the included machine screws are cross-head instead of socket head. Also, a socket wrench to hold the nuts is not included. This means you have to push down on the screws with a screwdriver while holding up the leg and keeping the nut in the right place in its recess with your third hand. To tighten it up you definitely need a socket wrench which many people don't have. A cheap hex key and socket would solve this problem.

this is the second table that I have bought. I have nine grandchildren and the younger ones often come to visit. This table can hold six toddlers and young children. It’s great for meals and also great as a craft table. It’s fairly easy to close up and store and the kids love it!

Easy to put together. Good strength for children. Size is larger for more kiddos to use.

good item for my smaller grandkids keeps them outof the N.C. sun while they re eating lunch
