Yesterday I took my very first trip to Ikea. I had a lot of fun checking it out, but it was definitely overwhelming. I had scoped out their website beforehand and had pretty much decided what I wanted already, but I wanted to see it in person first to make sure the quality was acceptable. The main purpose of the trip was to pick up a few things for Baby T, but I’m already planning a return trip back to pick up some more things for the house.
Baby T has a new found love of climbing. His favorite thing to climb however is our kitchen table. He pulls himself onto a chair and then the table (and he can do this very quickly.) I decided to get him a children’s size table where he could eats snacks and play with toys. I didn’t want to spend too much on the table since he’ll outgrow it pretty quickly and Ikea had just the thing…the Sundvik table and matching chairs:
How cute is that little train set as well? I was really impressed with the quality and price of their toys! The Lillabo train set was only $9.99 and has 20 pieces (the picture does not include the bridge and 4 additional curvy pieces.) I also got him some of the Duktig kitchen accessories to go with his play kitchen he got for Christmas. In addition, I also picked up a few small wooden toys, the drawing paper roll, and the Busa play tunnel. I probably went a bit overboard, but I could not get over the prices!
Here’s what the children’s table looks like next to our full-sized black kitchen table:
I LOVE Ikea. So great for different things. The little table is so sweet. We got the day bed for our 2 year old as his big boy bed and he loves it. Also, love the paper roll and all the toys. Great, great place.
They had really cute big boy beds there! Very impressed with the kid’s section! I loved how they had little model rooms set up around the perimeter.
Hi there I would be interested to hear how well this table and chair set has worn over the past year. Does it still look good? How easy it is to keep clean? I love the dark wood as opposed to white, but I wonder if if wears easier in the dark colour. Thanks
Hi- This table is still looking great! It does have a few small dents in it from my son knocking over the chairs, but there aren’t any paint chips or anything. The dark color is nice because he has a tendency to draw on things that are not paper!
