Toddler table

[Audrey Two]

I'm looking for a small table for my toddler.  I didn't think it would be so difficult to get something!

What I'm looking for (and I know you can get them in the UK) is a table with a kind of ridge round the outside edge so that pens, crayons, paintbrushes etc don't roll off onto the floor.  In a perfect world the table would have a removeable top so that I could store lego/crayons/whatever in the base.

Has anyone seen anything like this here?  Ikea only have wooden tables (which I'm not convinced would look great after scribbling) and some of the wipe-clean plastic ones I've seen elsewhere don't seem very sturdy.

I have a plastic one from Ikea...I think it is from the MUMUT?? range..but maybe they are discontinued now? I have a 3year old and ideally  the best table for her would be an old coffee table big  enough for  train set/lego/doll house...much easier for them when it's off the floor.A possibilty for you might be an old mahjong table with cut down legs...they usually have a little drawer on each side. A carpenter could add a wooden trim around the top for you (a bit of beading or picture frame trim)I wouldn't worry about scratches..give yourself a break and just worry about your grown up furniture!
just some thoughts...as no one else seems to have had any ideas

Hi Audrey

I've emailed you. May have what you're looking for!

I have a Step 2 convertible table set. It comes with 2 stools/seats that have lids so you can open up & store blocks in them. The table has a removable top to store stuff & the top is reversible where you can put alphabet pieces & numbers on the other side (comes with the set). It also has 2 "wings" to store more stuff under 2 corners of the table. The removable top also has a groove round it to prevent pencils from rolling off.  As it's Step 2, the construction is very solid/sturdy.

I bought it about 2 yrs ago but it's hardly been used by my kids. I also have the accessories (clipboard clip to convert to an easel, lego bases, etc) that come with it that are still in the plastic wrapper, unused. I think it's no longer in the market as I checked the Step 2 website today. I haven't seen it in the major children's suppliers here for some time either.
