Yes it's fab! I've had mine about 4 years now and my 8 year old son still uses it but he is small for is age! It's great for meals/snacks and craft times. The only down side is that you only get 2 chairs. I was fortunate that a friend gave me her chairs when she was getting rid of the table.

I think I have these. My boys think they are great - very grown up. I never got round to staining or painting mine - but the top wipes down really well. Have you tried looking on E bay?

I have this too

Had mine about 3/4 years and they are brilliant and great value for money. I bought the little seat pads to attach though to make it more comfy for the children - but I'm kind like that

I never painted mine either but the children have made a great job of decorating it with crayon/felt pen marks!
