My son has recently been bought one of these by his grandparents. Typically the weather means it is now not being used as much!

You have to put it together which isn't as difficult as you might think. The instructions are pretty clear and there are only a few pieces to slot together and a few bolts to fit. It can all come apart afterwards too if you are short on storage space. The legs slot in and out so could be taken off each time for storage as well or to put it flat on the floor or another table. Make sure you get the legs the right way around, or the table is very unsteady (trust me I've done that!)

There are a few holes in the centre of it to put the sand and water toys into and the tools (a spade, a shovel and a rake). There are 2 toys that don't fit the holes a boat shape and a starfish shape mould. My one bugbear with this product are these holes. No child keeps putting their spade back in the hole to store it so it becomes a game of who can chuck the most sand down this hole? It would be better to have a couple more small toys to put in the extra holes in my opinion.

Once you're not using it the cover slots together (it is in 2 pieces) and does a good job of sealing it up. It's not easy for little fingers to lift it off preventing any unpleasant look at the mess I've made surprises. It also has a really good road pattern on it so the table can be used even when the cover is on.

So far I've only used it for sand on both sides. Don't buy the sand at the ELC it is half the price in ASDA! A really good sand table my son absolutely loves it.
