I drive my husband crazy as I'm changing things all the time ( and making him help )
Right now I'm using the ikea round table but I'm finding for crafts there's not a lot of room ! Had all of mine gluing noodles on to n letter and everyone was covered in glue !
I'm big into messes so it doesn't bother me mess wise just that papers were getting glued together !
I'm considering getting a huge table made so that everyone can have space but so far I haven't found anything big enough ( other than ordering a actual preschool table )!

LOL my fiance is the exact same way!! He gets so annoyed with me for constantly changing things. But as the time goes on you find new ways and new things that will work better haha. Today I cleaned out my playpen collection...I had 6! I only use 2 lol. Kept one for a spare and am selling 3. He was happy :)

Yep, they've been great for me. I have been using them for a year so far. I don't know if my hubby did anything special when he installed them. But I haven't had a single complaint so far.

Canadian Tire and I'm sure other places have children's tables that collapse down just like the adult tables where the legs fold under. Get chairs that stack and it would be easy to put out and away each day.

Exactly 5lm !!! I keep telling him my playroom is evolving !!! Today I decided to be thrifty and used milk crates ( on sides) for shoe cubbies under their jacket/backpack hooks . Jury is out on that idea right now , I can't decide if it looks cute or messy !! But had him tie wrap them all together , he mumbled a lot about how this prob will change and we will have 7 milk crates ....... Blah blah !! Lol

Well just got back from Ikea, I bought the larger sized Lack coffee table and some kid stools to use a kids table. I wanted the wall mounted tables, but it just cost too much for right now. Set it all up and it looks really good, I just plan on putting lockable caster wheels on the bottom as well.

So it will be a multipurpose table - eating, play table, art table...should be good! No more kids at the kitchen table, I'm happy!

Good for you !! I love it when it all comes together !!

secondtimearound...I think it would look really cute! I would probably spray paint the crates though to make it look nicer and not like milk crates though lol. I have hooks on the wall for their jackets at kid height and than a boot tray under it. I hate how the boots look messy though...I kinda like the crate idea!!

Amanda...glad you found something you like! I use my table for all those reasons too. It is so nice to have a kid height table :)

I took a white shoe organizer (just a two level shelf kinda thing) and traced the soles of different pairs of shoes on the top of it with permanent marker. So when the kids arrive they take their shoes and match them up with the shoe prints. The kids love it and it keeps the shoe area looking neat.
