A Good Table-chair

We had a Little Tyke set for a while. I would advise against that set. It was great for a while and I liked that it was light and easily moved (I could take it outside for messier projects), but it is NOT meant for tall kids. We outgrew it quickly.

We find an amazing set at a garage sale. And I have seen some terrific ones on sale on craigslist. So I would suggest checking there if you are comfortable shopping there.

I know several people who really like a few of the sets offered by Ikea. My SIL has two rather tall children and she has loved this set http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80153701/?quer.... They have used it for a few years. She bought the table that matches. And I know many families who have this set http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20099496/ Seems to do really well, but you may not like that it only comes in bright colors.

Our Ikea set lasted for YEARS, and it was cute AND cheap :)

We had a kid size folding table (square) and 4 chairs for my oldest at that age. It was great because I could store it if we needed to or leave it out. It was bright colors - table was blue and the chairs were red, blue, green, yellow. The only thing was the table top was padded which made it harder to draw and write on. It lasted for years !

IKEA ships. I like all of their little tables/chairs, but you can look and see if your family would like the more cartoony looking ones or the wood ones. I also have a Little Tykes table that I got from a neighbor but plan to pair it with a couple of IKEA chairs for Christmas. I can't find DD's table online right now but there's a similar one in primary colors on Amazon. I would steer away from folding tables/chairs because kids do silly things and boys are rough on furniture. I think the plastic ones or wooden ones would serve you better.

Step 2 is also a good brand and you can get it from Toys R Us.
