 The little ones love their own table but this one is not durable. May 07, 2007
By Value Mommy
Like the other two reviewers, I loved this table and chairs when it first arrived. It is so lovely, with the cute pastel chairs. Unfortunately, after 6 months it's not so lovely anymore because the paint is chipping off all the edges. I'm very sad because what did look like a charming table and chair set for a reasonable price now looks tattered after half a year. Compare that to the pine set from IKEA that we've had 3 years that still looks brand new for a third of the price. If you do decide to buy this set, I would recommend applying a protective coat of polyurethane or similar to minimize paint chipping. Also, my husband used an electric screwdriver to assemble the set and the chair backs split in several places when the screws went in because of cheap wood. I would recommend using a hand tool and a light touch. I can't say I wouldn't recommend the set but I would recommend taking the above steps to avoid trouble ahead. It is super cute and the kids love having the four chairs for more kids, dolls, imaginary friends, etc.

 Good for the price Oct 21, 2009
By K. Lam
My wife wanted to spend a lot more on a kiddie table/chairs than I wanted (hundreds of dollars), but I finally convinced her that this set (~$100) would be good enough, particularly since it'll be abused with crayons, markers, rough play, etc. It was straightforward to put together, though (as another reviewer has noted) screwing the screws too much from the bottle of the table surface can result in puncturing the table surface. It bother much much, however (it's a kiddie table, after all). My wife called the manufacturer, and without any fuss, a new table surface was mailed to us quite prompty. After about 10 months of use, the paint has held up well, but the chairs are showing signs of wear. The chairs are slowly starting to come apart at the seams (the dowels are coming loose), though I just force them back together, and they'll be fine for another week. Our kid eats, draws, and plays at/on the table. And often, both my wife and I are both sitting at on these chairs at the table, which may explain why the chairs are coming apart. For the price, I'm still happy with the purchase.

 Nursery School Dec 05, 2009
By Augustus McCrae
We have two of the Nantcucket tabl;e and chair sets in each color in our nursery school.
We have been very happy with them all. We also have a couple play kitchens from the same brand, Kidkraft and they have lasted 4 years!

Beautiful set sized just right for a toddler Jan 10, 2012
By Deanna Quinn
I bought this set to compliment my daughter's vintage pink kitchen and they match beautifully (in size and color). The table is used all the time for breakfast and snack time as well as for the "kid's table" when we have company. She also uses it to color and play with playdough while I'm working in the kitchen. It's pretty small so I imagine she will outgrow it by age 5 or so but it has been well worth the money. Easy to assemble but be careful to not over tighten the screws on the chair backs because they are made with mdf board, not wood.

 Received two damaged ones May 13, 2011
By M. Athar
I purchased this table because of the cost compared to other tables of this style and also because I own another kidkraft product (easel) that we love! We have not had any problems with it and both my daughters (3.5 & 18mo) climb through it. Unfortunately we have received two table sets that are damaged. I haven't been able to put it together, the first one had a completely damaged box so I expected it to be damaged. The 2nd one arrived in an undamaged box so I had high hopes. Unfortunately both are damaged on the table top siding. The first table top was pulled away from the siding, the 2nd one had a crack through the siding where a screw would go. I think the packaging is flimsy compared to the product weight so it just doesn't have the support it needs. But, of course, I also now question the quality of the table. We haven't decided whether to just move on or get one more replacement. If I get another replacement I'll update this review. To be honest with you, I don't know if anything else was damaged because I didn't pull anything else out after I saw the damage - I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get it all back in and seal the box for return.
