As a "seasoned" kindergarten teacher I knew I was going to be very picky about a table and chair set I would purchase as a Christmas gift for my 2 year old granddaughter. I looked at dozens of sets and chose 3 to have my son and daughter-in-law choose from. I added a list of pros and cons with each set and they agreed that this was the best choice. A new little sister is due in May and we all felt that a circular table would prevent possible dangers of a little one getting hurt on the corners of a rectangle design. The stools are perfect to allow comfort and safety. The ladder back chairs are beautiful, but kids tip back on them (I know!) and a little one learning to pull up to standing would certainly find this design irresistible, but a potential danger. The design of the legs on this table and stools provide great stability with no tipping. The real seal of approval was when our granddaughter was delighted seeing it and a bonus we did not think of was how she sat down sideways on a stool and easily swirled around to the table, a definite safety feature. She is petite, but still able to play and eat comfortably with lots of room for growth. There is also plenty of room for cousins and friends to join her. Another unexpected pro is that all the stools fit under the table separately or stacked. This is a sturdy set, easily assembled, and a hit with kids and adults!"..." Read more
