Step2 Tropical Island Resort Water Table

I was a little hesitant to buy this for my kids ages 3 & 5 because of some of the reviews, but I'm glad we did. They love it and it keeps them entertained for hours. It did take a bit of effort to put together, but it's very sturdy and the perfect size for them. Some people complained that the toys came off, but my kids love that you can move the slide to different parts of the table and can manipulate most of the toys...they aren't just stationary. Definitely a great purchase!

My boys love this water table. It is our first water table so I have nothing to compare it to. Didn't want a sand/water table. And by far, not too disappointed. But here are the pros and cons...
Pros:
*Lots of activities
*just the right size and height.
*hours of entertainment (if I would let them stay out in the heat for that long)
*like being able to put away the slide and diving board and little toys so less to clean mold/dirt/dust off.

Cons:
*hard to put together...lots of screws that you have to screw in yourself since there are no real holes but indentions where you need to screw pieces in.
*pump is hard to push down for a toddler
*the plug leaks (not a problem when table is left outside...had it in my kitchen for them to try at first to test it out. Right away, water leaked from the plug...just a drop every few seconds.)

Overall, I am happy with it being the first water table. The boys added other bath toys and even Little People toys.

This is by far the best water table I could have asked for. Not only did my one yr old love it, but my husband, 15 yr brother and I all loved it as well!!! So much to do and play with with this one table. We havent used the umbrella offically yet, but all looks good. The only problem we ran into was that the water tube (to pump water into the little whirl pool) came broken. My husband was able to fix it right away and it works great.

Really like the looks of the product and some of the features work ok-not really happy about the spinning wheels attached to the tree-they don't spin when the water is poured over the top. Also the base of the slide doesn't fit down into the hole provided so it tends to fall off. The diving board also falls off whenever they try to make the person dive into the pool. The gates also don't seem to stay into their holes very well. These are 3 and 4 year olds, which is the age group that should be able to use it without things falling off. It is bright and colorful and comes with several people/fish so that is good, but wish all the parts work better and stayed together while playing.

This is great water table has many options so it keeps my son busy who is 2 by the way and when a friend comes over to play plenty of space for both of them to enjoy ! and the umbrella is nice touch keep them from getting to much sun !
Also comes with plenty of toys. My husband had to put it together I thought I could but it needed to be screwed together and it wasn't as super clear you had to put the holes in. So I left to him. Over all great fun !

Great:
*It's a great way for your kids to be outside entertain themselves with water fun
*Concept is great
*umbrella is great!
BAD:
*The attachments don't stay! Everything flim's around, the slide, carosel, diving board, don't snap into anything!? They are just left to fall & around when the kids use it. I am constantly going back to fix and put them back. It looks like everthing is on the floor and broken within 5 minutes of play. I just wish it was made a little more logically & made to snap in so the parts dont fall off all over the place. Really the only reason im returning it.

I bought this table for my 16 month old and she plays with it every single day. I love the table because it keeps her busy for hours and the little umberlla comes in handy in this Texas heat. My daughter loves play with the little people most of all she like to squirt people with the dolphin and fish toy. Although the slide and diving boards comes off all the time, and the "whirl pool isnt all that great but I still love the table. I would recommend this to any parent that want a simple but fun water table for thier kids to play with on a summer day. The only reason why I did not give it a 5 star, is because of the slide and diving board keeps falling off and the "whirl pool"

This table is a pain it the butt to put together not worth the price at all.

Let me start by saying my 2-year-old son absolutely loves this thing. He will play in it for hours, and will drag us to the door to go outside and play in it. This, ultimately, is what matters most about this product - my son's enjoyment.

Now, let's move on to how mommy and daddy feel. It was a giant pain to assemble - absolutely NOTHING comes preassembled. You have to drill every hole, screw in every little piece, etc. It took me about 2 hours to assemble by myself, and my husband helped me for the three steps that required two people. The toys on top - the slide, diving board, the hammock-swing thing, and the little flippers you move to make the lazy river - none of them snap on, they just sit there. It annoys me to no end that they keep falling off. My son does not care - he just puts them back in place. But seriously, Step2? Add about an inch more plastic on the base of the diving board and slide, and it would snap over the bottom of the table.

I went into Toys R Us looking for the Spiralin' Seas water table, but it was sold out (of course) because it was on sale. Chose this one because I had coupons to save about $30. I guess I am happy with the product, but only because my son likes it. If this review was based on MY feelings towards the product, it would be one star.
