I homeschool my 6 & 7 year old... any idea if this would fit a typical child that age? Thinking of leg to underside of table ratio. Thanks.

The chairs are actually Kindof small. I am worried that my 5 year old will grow out of them. Table height would be okay for 6/7 but not much past that - would need to get different chairs.

I was able to size it down somewhat for my 4yr old. it is big on him, but fits my 8yr old. It fit him well. you would be safe with a fit for 6 to 7 yr olds up to maybe 15-16.

Height of seat from floor will start to be an issue by age 6 for most kids, but my wife still fits in it comfortably in all other dimensions. I plan to lengthen the legs when my daughter enters kindergarten.

I've had the table since around September 2012, and we love it. We use it all day as a desk for homeschooling, and then in the evenings we move it, extend it, and use it for dinner. It has one scratch on it, that I did when I was building a computer on it and drug the sharp metal corner of the case across it :-( It does take two people to extend and put the leaves in, but we positively LOVE this table. The home we own has a 35 foot long kitchen, so we had a huge table, but recently moved (military) to a MUCH smaller house that doesn't have room for a table set up all the time. This table has been fantastic so far. My only complaint would be that you have to pay close attention when sliding it together (while putting in or taking out a leaf) because it's easy to shift it so the pegs on one side don't line up with the holes on the other. We have also noticed the legs will occasionally loosen, so we keep an eye on them and tighten as needed. Anyway, having only had it less than 6 months, I can't really comment on the long term durability of the finish, but it seems to be pretty good, and I would definitely buy this table again! (I do not have the matching chairs, so I can't answer your question about those, sorry.)

i don't have it at my house - it was a gift.But my nephew is 2 and it fits him perfectly! it would seat 2 toddlers just fine- my friend has one like this different character and her 6 and 4 year old sit on it still! :) hope this helps!

Umm. I would buy a chair that was meant for kids... Look in Kids Furnishings... Honest answer you buy the stuff for kids they grow out of it. I would wait several years and by a chair for him later that is more appropriate for his age... Get him a Kids chair for now...

May be too high for that. I would go to a local furniture store with kid in tow and test a counter height chair which these are with a standard table.

Hi Mardee, I ordered this set for my 2 year old son and he is on the smaller side. The table and chairs fit him perfectly and it is so easy to assemble that my 6 year old daughter can assemble the table and both chairs. This is my second set and the first set lasted 8 years. I recommend this product.

Probably no, considering that my granddaughter is going to be 7 in August and she is (average) tall, probably she will be using it for another year. Google Step2 and you will find some pictures of kids around the desk. This will give you a better idea. Hope this comment is useful for you. Raul

I would say it best suits kids under 5 'comfortably'. However, all 4 of my kids (ages 10 yr boy, 6 yr boy, 4 yr girl and 2 yr girl) all play with it just fine. The table stands appx 2ft tall and the chairs are appx 12" tall (from floor to where the seat is, not counting back support) and seem to be pretty sturdy for their small sz! My 10 year old boy weighs about 100 lbs and sits on it problem free and it seems to accommodate me as well! (I'm 5"9 and about 200lbs) So, depending on your preference, it seems to be an all around table! :)

I have both a 6 and 7 year old boys. They both love playing with the table. Since it is small it works better with their smaller hands then my husband's larger ones.

Yes,I think it would be fine. I got my grandson who was 1yr. old and his sister the table. They may need a little help sitting on chair at first,but they grow so fast they will do fine after a little while.

That's a good question. My daughter is 18 months and fits perfectly in it and has plenty of room for a few years. In my opinion the way the mesh piece where they sit wouldn't leave enough leg room for a 7-8 year old- their legs would hang over the end (if you look at this pic of the little girl- her knees are where the mesh part is. I always lay down next to my daughter on the side of it and is comfortable- but it's not like a standard bean bag type chair that the shape changes to fit the child. Hope this helps!

I think 7yr old will be too big. It's perfect size for my 3yr old. For an easy reference, this table is a couple inches lower than my end tables. There are larger kid tables out there. When I complained to Kidcraft about the finish about two years ago, I had mentioned my son's age, which was 18m at the time; Kidcraft's response was basically that the age range was 3-8yrs and my son was too young. I really do not know how they could think that an 8yr old would want to sit at a table this small; and an 8yr old certainly would not be comfortable in the chairs, which are the same size, if not slightly smaller, than the ones in my son's preschool.

I bought this table for my 2 and 4 year old to play with their train station. My 4 year old is a little over 3 feet tall and this table is perfect size for her. Hope this helps.

I got it for my three year old grandson, I'm sure it would thrill a six year old. According to the age definitions, it should be okay size wise. I was hoping my grandson would be able to use it for several years. Hope it works for you.

My girls are 18 months old and they are enjoying the table, it is the perfect size for them. The chairs can hold my weight (140 pounds) but I do not sit on them very often. The only problem I see is the size of the chairs. They may be a little too small for a 6-7 years old to fit comfortably. I hope this helps.
