racheal

we have got a step 2 table it cost us around $150 from toy's r us around 7yrs ago and it still looks like new it has been used and used and used. basically it is the plastic (heavy duty) molded and the seats are attached sort of like bench seats - fantastic cause you don't have the possibility of them leaning back and tipping off little seats with backs. this table is used for eating on, doing craft, drawing, playdoh you name it, used every single day and so easy to clean. even my ds who is quite tall and nearly 7 still sits at it every morning to eat his breaky with his sister.

i know that you can get them on ebay to and i wouldn't have a problem buying a 2nd hand one as the quality is brilliant - don't think they would ever break lol. it has a green top and red seats etc.

sorry don't know much about the ikea ones tho.
