Comments about Little Tikes Sand&Sea™ Play Table:

We are extrememly happy with the product itself, but were very unhappy with the way it arrived. The box was completely beat up and open. We believe everything was accounted for though.

Comments about Little Tikes Sand&Sea™ Play Table:

My daughter loves water and sand, so this is perfect. The water area is a little boring for her but she'll still spend 10-15 mins playing. We just purchased, so I'm not sure how I'll clean the water table w/o dumping the sand...I'm sure the 2 tables disconnect and I just haven't figured it out.

Comments about Little Tikes Sand&Sea™ Play Table:

We found this VERY difficult to assemble. The screws provided stripped almost immediately. My husband had to purchase new ones and use an electric drill to get them started. They had to go in at a difficult angle. There must be an easier way to put this toy (which our grandson loves) together.

Comments about Little Tikes Sand&Sea™ Play Table:

I purchased this as a gift for a friend, I thought the assembly would be simple. The directions had no written steps, the screwdriver didn't work because there were no starter holes in the sturdy plastic and a drill was difficult to fit between the groves in the bottom, they could redesign that for next year. I felt so bad not bringing it to the party assembled, it required 4 men, two drills and a lot of time. We were frustrated.

 
Great toy, but assembly nightmare

Comments about Little Tikes Sand&Sea™ Play Table:

This is a great toy and my 2 1/2 and 10 month old sons LOVE it, but it is an assembly nightmare. The directions are worthless and the legs are impossible to assemble without a drill. How easy it would have been to manufacture this with legs that turn and lock into place? I am so frustrated trying to put it together I'm thinking about packing it up and taking it back. Otherwise, I'm going to just have to put it together and never move it - otherwise the legs fall off. Really a shame. Would've given it 5 stars if not for the legs.
The other issue, as others have said, is the drain leaks, but that isn't such a big deal since it's outside.
Would not recommend this product until this major assembly issue is resolved.

Comments about Little Tikes Sand&Sea™ Play Table:

This is a very nice table BUT the legs were absolutely horrible to assemble and the directions were useless!!!! The screws really had no place to be placed and there were no holes! The dirctions said that all you needed was a screwdriver and this is a JOKE! Putting them in by hand is almost not possible. I had to use a drill in the end. The lids do not stay on in wind and rain gets into the sand area easily. The plug that holds the water leaks so badly and it is nearly impossible to pull it grom the bottom to tighten it. All of this said my 18 month old son LOVES the table overall and spends most of his time using it. My two oldest ones even join him. Hopefully they will fix these kinks and then you will be purchasing a good product. If these items were fixed i would rate this item superior!

Comments about Little Tikes Sand&Sea™ Play Table:

My two boys have lots of fun playing with this toy! The legs, however, were very difficult to assemble and still look crooked. The design should have snap in legs instead of very long screws that do not fit into the spaces. Overall, I would say this is not worth the amount they are charging.

Comments about Little Tikes Sand&Sea™ Play Table:

We've had this table for over a year, and it is still holding on strong. I run an in home daycare, and all of the kids LOVE this. It's really nice that you can get replacement parts easily. The only thing that I don't like is that after a few months the water table won't hold water, even with a new plug. It slowly drips out, but not so fast to keep kids from playing with it.

 
Major issues

Comments about Little Tikes Sand&Sea™ Play Table:

I bought this because the one I wanted was not available. I liked the bright colors and the umbrella. I like that there are two holes for the umbrella placement. The table is a perfect hight for my 16 month old boy.
The water drain leaks/drips.
The instructions came with photos ONLY. There are 5 legs that attach to the bottom with all these screws in a bag. The PHOTO shows that the screws are to be screwed in the legs or somewhere, but THERE ARE NO HOLES FOR THE SCREWS TO GO IN. I thought I was going crazy. I guess no big deal if you don't have to move it. We have to move it and whenever we pick it up all the legs fall out.
The lids do not fit tight. You have to add the knots to the elastic ties to fit and the photo shows to leave an inch tail. Well, that did not work, it was way too loose. I would suggest tying one know first to see if it works before doing them all.
The water toys are lame. One of the boats does not fit under the bridge. Too tall and it falls over.

My son loves this toy, but the top blew off never to be found in the first month, and the water leaks out of the water side. It was challenging to assemble.

 
An OK fit

Pros:
Attractive Design, Easy To Assemble, Lots of Fun
Best Uses:

Comments about Little Tikes Sand&Sea™ Play Table:

I looked at every other sand and water table and picked this one because the sand and water parts were completely seperate. Fun for both my 7 year and 18 month old boys. But the lids do not fit right, and the water side drips till empty. Still playing with the drain part, but we don't leave the water in for too long anyways because it gets gross. I'm due again in June and hope that it will last for this baby to enjoy!

Comments about Little Tikes Sand&Sea™ Play Table:

My daughter, (as well and my husband and I) love this product!!! She has gotten so much use out of it! It's the first thing she asks to do when we go outside to play. During the summer, she would ask to play with it as soon as she would get up in the morning. Living in a warm area, we are able to do that in the morning, which is nice. One thing, though, is that we could not keep water in the water side. You have to empty it each time you are done. If you do keep water in it, and keep the cover on, the water gets slimey. And the drain stopper is a little testy---you have to make sure that nothing is blocking it (like sand). But, those are the only things. Because my daughter would just dump sand in the water side, anyway, we filled both sides with sand. Now it is just a sand table, but, she loves it! Both she and my husband are always buildng sand castles and tunnels and the like. We love it! Worth every penny!

I purchased this sand & sea, and water has leaked in to the inside of the table. Also the covers did fit very well so every time it rained the sand box got wet.
