This purchase is a valued package considering it's very expensive to buy the table alone this size. Basically, I feel like I'm paying same price for the table and get the train set for free.
The table is well-made. Easy to put together. It took my husband only 10 mins to finish assembly the table. It's much easier to play trains/tracks on this table, it keeps tracks from falling off. The heigh is perfect for my son. It has nice 3 buckets for storage hanging under the table. It's very neat way to store tracks actually. However, please do not store more than this set under the table otherwise, you might risk breaking the 2 wood piece railing that used to hang the bucket. I was actually excited about this storage places, so I put some more track that I have previously, and I noticed the wood piece was bended mildly, so i took them off and just put them on the floor under the table instead of hanging it.
The trains set have tons of stuff for your kids to play with which is a major points. If you only want 1 set for your kid, it's a go-to set. They have trains, cars, airplane, helicopter, Brigde, tunnel, turn table. Everything out there in 1 box. I definitely love the variety of this set. I would give 5 stars for this if not for my next point.
The tracks are not very well made, it's harder to click together vs Brio or Hape or Melissa tracks which is a minus for me because my son -19mo can't put it together himself. The joint elevator is very hard to put together as well. But it's not that hard for adult, so they still get 4 stars from me :)
While they have a lot of transportation options which my son loves, they are not very well-made. I feel like I bought a used set when I purchased a brand new one. The paint is not as shiny, it looks like wear and tear.

Exceptional quality, quality materials, and very large. Make sure you look at the dimensions! It's not a small table. My 2 1/2 year old is obsessed with Thomas and trains in general and I don't think he's looked at another toy since Christmas. We did also buy a wooden train set, and I'd recommend that since this one only comes with a few actual trains. There are lots of tracks and town accessories and people though. Overall I'd 100% recommend this set to anyone. It did take my handy husband about 2 hours to set up the table and put the tracks and town together. The most time consuming part was actually assembling all the buildings and the bridge etc. lastly, it's perfect for multiple kids to play with. It's large enough that both my children are able to play independently without stepping on each other's toes. It also is a nice play surface for them to play games- the bins underneath have plenty of storage space for all the the components which leaves a great surface for matchbox towns, board games, or the robotic dinosaur.

So I needed this for Christmas. Was waiting until it dropped back to 89 but it never happened so I had to pay the $130. It came damaged, which I wouldn't have cared about, but the damage is on the corners of the top board and very visible. My daughter is only two and won't care much but I do because I paid for it. I'm going to call after Christmas and see if they can replace, but by readin other reviews I doubt they will. We were missing the pegs that go in the bridge but all other parts were accounted for. Giving two stars because I do not think it's worth the $130. We also have noticed, like others, the train does not stay on the track, and the tracks do not fit together very well. Hoping my daughter won't care. It's too close to Christmas to return it so we will deal, but feel money could have been better spent on a different one. It is cute, and I would care as much had I only spent $89 on it

I had this on a list for a while and a few days ago noticed it was on sale for 45% off. To beat that, there was also a warehouse item available for 60% off. At the orignal price, I was willing to say we didn't need it as we're already cramped for space in our narrow townhouse. But at the discounted price, even my husband was like "heck yeah!" So this is like an early Christmas gift for our 2.5 year old boy. He always gravitates towards the train sets at other people's houses so this was a win. He is already using the pieces for imaginative play and adding his other toys to the mix.

Assembly was super easy. There's only 8 pieces to the table plus 3 plastic bins. Less then 30 min with two of us. The train set assembly took another 30. Its really eaten up a lot of floor room so be prepared to sacrafice some space for it if your real estate is scarce.

There were some very minor cosmetic flaws to our table but once assembled, you don't even notice it. Also
one minor section that was pre-screwed and glued on to support the surface was cracked during assembly from over-tightening of screws, but it didn't effect the overall integrity so we gave that a pass.

The surface is flippable- from picture to plain wood laminate surface. I can see this being an excellent lego or hobby table when he outgrows the train. Our public library has a similar table (smaller) and they used a protective plexiglass to cover the surface.

Yes- like some other reviewers have commented- the wood toy structures need to be assembled and some fit rather loose. However a little wood glue will take care of the issue. My boy also requested I add sirens and a star logo to the police car and firetruck which I happily obliged with some adhesive paper. Overall, The quality is as expected and we are satisfied. Its no Pottery Barn, but if you are looking for quality, I think you should be looking at a train set sold separately from table. I should point out that my son is fairly gentle with his toys and I absolutely do not allow table climbing in the house. While the table is fairly sturdy for what its meant for, I wouldn't trust it to hold up a child jumping or standing on it.

I've bought a few Amazon warehouse deals now, and honestly if you are just buying for yourself, it really is worth taking a chance on. Most of the time it is just the outer packaging that has been damaged.

I was worried my son would play with this table for a week and be done with it. We've had it for 6 months and he plays with it every day! Great quality for a fraction of the price of the "Thomas and friends" table. He loves to race his hot wheels cars on the tracks too.. hours and hours of entertainment!

My husband & I love to help our son build new routes. We bought an expansion pack (it was "Thomas & friends" brand and fits perfectly with this set) to have more route options. It's been a fun family toy. If you have a child who loves trains- you will love this set!
