    Default table and chairs

    Hi I am currently looking for a children's table with 4 chairs. And do not seem to be able to find one it also needs to be not too big as i do not have much apace. I was wondering if anybody knew where i could possibly get one. Thanks very much. Laura

    Ikea? Woolies? Wait for summer ones to come out?

    A friend of mine bought a lovely one made from wooden slats last year... hopeless for drawing with all the gaps... beware!

    I use an ikea 'lack' table and it's just the right height for little people with a couple of elc red chairs from the local car boot. The table costs less than a tenner and looks better than the plastic ones and is a lot stronger too.

    I've got this one http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/20072816
    It's only got two chairs though. It might be cheap but it is surprisingly strong.

    Wilkinsons sell plastic tables and chairs separately - they are not that strong -depends what you want - cheap though

    IKEA have some nice ones, we have a plastic one for outside, its not very strong like Miffy said. When the Childrens Centre refurbished I managed to get some of the School tables, they are the right height but you need room.

    I also got the Ikea one, for about £7 I think! I think its ideal, great height, sturdy and who cares if it gets pen marks on for £7!!
    I got a couple of plastic garden chairs from Instore, but tbh, I wish Id have spent a bit more on the wooden solid ones as the plastic ones are so flimsy and bendy! I try to take a trip to Ikea once a year, you can get quite a few childminding bits cheaply
