How does this Espresso table compare with the lighter wood Kidkraft 2-in-1 Activity table, which is $7 less? Is this Espresso one sturdier?

I ordered the Expresso table because it went with the decor in the room that it's in. I think it looked much "richer" compared to the lighter wood. These are the only reasons I purchased that color. This table is pretty sturdy though, not sure how it compares to the other one. Hope this helps.

I bought the espresso because it matched my grandson's furniture. It would depend on your tastes. The table is very stable and perfect height for a 2 year old. My son also thinks it is quite strong as my grandson has stood on it (leave it to a boy)�. Hope that helps..

I know nothing about the lighter one! But this one is awesome! VERY sturdy! My grandson plays with it for hours!! Very solid! Sorry I could not help more, I know nothing about the other one!

It's closer to espresso. It matches my other espresso furniture perfectly. Hope this helps.

I got this same one for my dining room table. As far as I know its tempered and mine slides a little I need to get the clear rubber feet to put under it.Other than that I'm very happy with my purchase. If they're older kids I suggest the rubber feet if it's on a metal frame like mine it will slide if leaned on.

It is similar, but because it is thin it is softer in my opinion. You may want to look into the toddler one if you are looking for something a little more dense. I have both. I will submit a picture of the two in the reviews so you can see the difference.

Definitely pressboard and weighs a ton but for the price you can't beat it. It's a really dark Espresso so unless you get right up to it you don't realize it isn't wood. We have it in our kids playroom so it blends in well with all of their toys. I looked for one made of solid wood but couldn't find one.

I would contact Woodcraft as recommended by K. Mclemore. I got absolutely no where with Vika and ended up returning the table to Amazon. I picked the same one up at Costco for less than $100.00, free shipping.

Hi Natasha! The wood is a beautiful Espresso. Hope that helps and you decide to order this heirloom bassinet.

Did you happen to buy/ try this one? Or have you found any available anywhere? Sounds like we are both on the hunt for the black espresso toddler rail!

Lizzie, we couldn't have purchased a more appropriate table for our needs, a tight little rental that we own. Kitchen is so tiny no regular dining table would fit. The family drops the "leaves" after the meal, and it sits tidily under a window at only 10-12" wide. The two chairs are sturdy enough, fit okay at the side of the folded table. Mom opens only one leaf when she is fixing lunches, handing out snacks as kids rush by to the door. Big enough surface with both sides folded to serve as "drop off" place that we all have to put up with in a kitchen: lunch bags, mail, grocery bag. A table and 2 matching chairs for $200 + a little bit? We thought we did well. bbj Lizzie, we couldn't have purchased a more appropriate table for our needs, a tight little rental that we own.

I think it looks espresso, but there are definitely reddish tones in it. Mine is in a room with a lot of sunshine streaming in. In the sunlight you can see the red more, but at night it appears darker. I think it can be used with other woods that are dark, but I also think it's fine to mix woods. By the way ... I really love the table! Very functional, beautiful, and compact!

Anyone who takes the time to carefully choose espresso beans...+grinds them finely...+spends $$ getting an espresso maker, would know this is served in intentionally tiny espresso cups w/little saucers! (get the little silver spoons when purchasing the espresso set. U+ your guests will be glad.This does make the perfect amount for 4-6 espresso cup servings w/frothed milk. I serve it for after dinner parties w/biscotti !fabulous!

it may not be sturdy enough for a very active child but it is really a great table for a couple or a single person. I really like it, the base is very solid, the glass is not as thick as my other dining room table but it works for me

This is used as the kids table when I need the space. Ages 2-10. Plenty of room for them. I have also used it as a craft table and havent had any leg issues. I have 2 of these tables and they have been very handy.

Daniel's response below is accurate. I really like mine... I was looking for something for the kids and I to enjoy. We all enjoy the table and I wanted the table to be able to easily get out of the doorway and into another room if needed... I have it in a room that is multifunctional and I didn't want the size or weight to require a dedicated room.

I would say it best suits kids under 5 'comfortably'. However, all 4 of my kids (ages 10 yr boy, 6 yr boy, 4 yr girl and 2 yr girl) all play with it just fine. The table stands appx 2ft tall and the chairs are appx 12" tall (from floor to where the seat is, not counting back support) and seem to be pretty sturdy for their small sz! My 10 year old boy weighs about 100 lbs and sits on it problem free and it seems to accommodate me as well! (I'm 5"9 and about 200lbs) So, depending on your preference, it seems to be an all around table! :)

I think that's crazy someone would say "it's not sturdy enough". These are $300 worth of equipment when bought all together. These machines are made very well and are not some $30 espresso machine you'd buy in a pinch at K-Mart. They are the real deal and made to be used every day if not more than once a day.
