We bought this sand and water table for our daughter's 4th birthday. We tried to buy the one that was more expensive because it seemed to have slightly better reviews, but those were sold out. This one had a couple of comments that the water side of the table leaked. Fortunately for us, the leak is so minor, that it's not even noticeable! So, for $20 less than what we would have spent, it was totally worth it. Our kids (4 and almost 6) love it! When we want a change from the sand and water, we fill the whole thing with water and dish soap to make it a bubble table.
