Is this table big enough for older kids?

It depends on how big you are talking about. It is a good size set, and sturdy.

I think 9-10 could use it. Older than that would probably not work as well.

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! :)

My three year old loves it and I can see him playing with this for 6-7 more years. If there is enough room around the table, 6 kids can use it, three sitting and three standing.

I agree with Suzie! They are really sturdy but I would double check the dimensions -- particularly height of table -- given that they are four years old. My granddaughters use them at 14 months and they're just right. I hope this helps.

I bought this table for my 2 and 4 year old to play with their train station. My 4 year old is a little over 3 feet tall and this table is perfect size for her. Hope this helps.

I'd think of it less as an age issue as a weight issue. Every use should probably consider the size of the child and the table to which you are attaching it. Our child is 13 mos and 16 lbs and it works fine for almost every occasion. Not a direct answer, but I hope it helps.

No, I wouldn't buy it for a 6 year old. I would say it's meant for kids under 5. The chairs themselves are very sturdy/solid and can definitely hold the weight of a bigger child or even an adult (I've sat on them a few times to help my little ones with something) but due to the height of the table and chairs I think most kids over 5 would be too tall to sit comfortably at the table. Hope that helps.

I would say no! It's a dining/bar table so it sits higher than a regular dining table. If they are smaller kids it wouldn't be safe. Teenagers may be a little different. But it's a no from me. It's too pretty to let children ruin it with paint, etc. We all know how kids are :)

Yes! The table is flat so it makes for a great paint table, Lego table, or whatever other game you want! I highly recommend this table! It works well as the train set and looks great but, you can also use it for a regular table if your child grows out of it!

Hi, the table is beautiful and i am very pleased with it, but the table corners are sharp. You might be able to find protectors for the coners by checking in your local bedding or hardware stores. This could help to protect your 3 year old until he/she grows taller. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Hi Jamie my children have enjoyed their lego table for the past year. The chairs are very small and not held up well but the table is great. I have three children and its perfect for them.

My 4 yr old is tall for her age and she fits well at the table currently. I have actually sat on the chairs with her and although its not ideal, it works (I'm 5'9"). I would be surprised it you didn't get at least 2-3 years out of it for your 8 yr old. Be prepared for some set up time to put it together - but other then that, it's been a great art table!

I would say it could be. Our three year old loves it, however I do older kids would like it. Not too big...about two feet wide when fully opened.

Depends on the physical size of of the children. The table is very strong & will hold weight of adults. The question is whether the children are too big to get their knees & legs under the table.

I think 7yr old will be too big. It's perfect size for my 3yr old. For an easy reference, this table is a couple inches lower than my end tables. There are larger kid tables out there. When I complained to Kidcraft about the finish about two years ago, I had mentioned my son's age, which was 18m at the time; Kidcraft's response was basically that the age range was 3-8yrs and my son was too young. I really do not know how they could think that an 8yr old would want to sit at a table this small; and an 8yr old certainly would not be comfortable in the chairs, which are the same size, if not slightly smaller, than the ones in my son's preschool.

If you want a traditional table, you would, but I used mine as a "half table" for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners this year. It will fit into smaller spaces in the house and the kids love sitting at it.

I think itwould big enough ... then again it probably will depend on the specific activity ... but kids have to learn to adjust and share space in my opinion... my 2 cents... good luck
