Not sure if anyone has posted these yet but I bought this fab market stall from ikea yesterday. Very sturdy and endless uses! A bargain at £10!

This is my DD not a mindee :)

I saw that on the website but haven't got the room :( Is it wooden?

No it's cardboard, hence the price! Very sturdy though!

Ah! Thought it might be, can it be folded away easy do you think?

Yeah easily I should think, It's just a slot fit one! Takes two mins to put together :)

I saw that in Ikea but I wondered how long a cardboard one would last

I am tempted!

Yes, I wonder how well it will withstand constant use with 3 little ones

My own lo and 3 big ones have played with it for the past two days and its not taken any toll yet, the one in the ikea play area was a bit grubby but still solid and clearly played with.

Will kep you updated :)

Wow that looks great - Has it got a printed picture on the inside as well as the outside?

Its just the roof and front that's stripy. The rest is plain. I'm going to pop some velcro on and laminate different shop scenes for children to stick on to it. The back is open to store things underneath or allow little ones to sit under it :)
