 Great outdoor fun Apr 20, 2008
By In My Life
We purchased after a prior small (3' by 3') sand box was broken in a move. Living in an apartment, we only have small patio space to put our outdoor toys on, and because my son is older now (4) we opted for the table rather than sand box. So far, after having it outside for one month with several rainy days, we've experienced no leaking like other reviewers mentioned. It's great for building sand castles, digging tunnels, etc. My only complaint is that it's a bit shallow (about 4" deep), but this doesn't really stop the fun.
The upside is that is holds one 50 lb. bag of sand, about $4-6 worth. Just a side note: make sure when you are purchasing sand that it is play-grade, and silica-free. Home Depot's store brand of play sand does have silica, you will know that it has silica if there are cancer warnings on the bag. Lowe's offers Silica-free play sand at $5/50 lb. bag.
The bucket and scoops that are included are fun too.

 Simple, Sturdy Sand (Er, Beans!) Table--Great Value Jul 19, 2005
By Essay Doctor
We bought this sand table for our three-year-old not to fill with sand but with dried beans so we could use it indoors. We had been filling cookie sheets with beans so his diggers and dump trucks could have an excavation site, but we were constantly picking up dried beans from the floor. This was to be our solution. Well, we're still picking beans up from the floor, but the table is a big hit. It was the favorite activity at our son's three-year-old birthday party when we were confined indoors due to hot and humid weather. I'm sure it will work well if you use it as intended--outdoors and with sand. It's very well built, as we've found all the products in the Naturally Playful Step 2 line to be. The top fits very snugly. I will add that I balked at paying $20-something in shipping charges, so we bought this table directly from the Step 2 web site. It arrived in three days, via Fed Ex, and the shipping charges were less than $10 (I don't remember the exact amount). (I wasn't able to find it in any stores, only online.)

Wet Sand Jun 10, 2006
By Amy
I bought this for my daughter's 2nd birthday and she LOVES it. She spends 30 minutes or more playing with the sand. The problem is, the sand gets wet when it rains. We are diligent about securing the lid but the sand still gets wet. Poor design on the corners - no lip around the edges on the corners allows water to get in.

Solid sand table Nov 17, 2008
By A. Failla
After countless hours of research, we finally broke down and purchased this sandbox. It has a pretty solid construction, it took a few tries to get the legs in during assembly, but that is all the assembly that is required. It is pretty sturdy and doesn't shake or wobble. This sand box is not going anywhere anytime soon. It comes with a cover which is secured by two elastic hoops. So far it has managed to keep bugs and animals out, but it is not water proof. After a good rain I opened it to find the sand inside had become damp. It managed to keep the majority of the rain out so it is not filled with water. To be honest, the damp sand is better to play with. We are pleased with the purchase and would recommend this product to anyone.

 Leaky Sand Table Aug 28, 2008
By Marshall Greenspan
Well made EXCEPT holes in cover for elastic tie-downs are in such a position that rain water flows through holes and directly into sand! Fortunately this defect is easily corrected by filling holes with Silicone Caulking made for exterior use.
