    We have been on the hunt for table and chairs for DS. I have decided on getting a wooden one from ikea, and staining the legs of the table and the chairs, but painting the table top with blackboard paint, figure it would allow hours of fun for DS and also DD when she is bigger.

    So ladies, Does that sound like it would work??

    The ikea set was $59.95 I think from memory for 2 chairs and table. There is a similar one in our local baby store but with the blackboard top already, and it is $120
    I am sure I can do it way cheaper than that! It has a hole in the middle of the table for a plastic tub to sit, to put the chalk in.

    What a great idea Mich! If DD didn't eat so messily at her table I would borrow the idea! Not sure how easy blackboard is to clean food off of without ruining it though... maybe when she is a bit older... But I love the idea!

    we have a wooden table and chairs.. its the Dora onefrom toys r us (we also had the toddler bed, and shelving thingy) while its very cute & sturdy, the table top is terribly scratched, so now when i wipe it, i worry there is yuck stuck in the cracks...

    im thinking of getting the mammut set as well... trying to decide if we should get the whole bedroom set up as well....
