Very sturdy but no boxes to make it easier to fill and empty sand and water, this will have to happen by shoveling out sand and tipping whole bench to empty water also the colour green is different to picture as its more aqua greeny/blue easy to assembled
My 2 year old grandson loves this sand pit and, when the lid is on, uses it as a table to eat or play on.
Sadly, the water section is only a bag, which is attached with screws making it difficult to empty and clean, and the sand section is lined with a piece of black fabric, which isn’t attached and is easily removed. Without the liner, the sand, when dry, falls between the planks. A couple of sturdy trays would be much more practical for cleaning and storage.
Some quick pointers I have while the build is fresh in my head – the first few steps are putting the framework together for the sand and water storage area. I actually lined the 3 cross planks up before screwing to make sure the middle piece fit before I did the end screws.
When fitting the legs to the body, again, do not fully tighten the screws until it is as flat as possible. I thought the legs were going to be wonky but once placed screwed into the table, they straightened out.
The bottom pieces that sit under where the water and sand will go, fit fine for me. I placed them all on the wood before screwing them in.
My set came with 2 bags of the small screws with washers and none of the 50mm screws. Because of this, I didn’t realise until halfway through that there were 2 lengths of the larger sized screws so I had to use some of my own screws that were pretty close matched. I did email Plum and they are sending screws out anyway in case this had happened to someone that didn’t have spares. It would have been annoying to wait but at least they are doing something. Main point here is to check you have the 3 different screw sizes and the bolts before starting.
Lovely little picnic table that doubles up as a sand water play table. We had issues with water section lining (it leaked) however after contacting the seller they sent the replacement so the after sales care is great !
I think containers for sand and water would be better and cleaner like I’ve seen on some other brands. Good item nonetheless (wear and tear to show its true quality in due course)
Not easy to assemble at all. Luckily we had a drill so had to drill new holes for each part practically. Everything else was pretty straight forward. The only down fall is that my water bit leaks. So every time my son wants to play I have to keep filling it up. Which is a pain. It is gorgeous though
Both my grandchildren love it, needs to rub down as some of the wood is still a bit rough
Me gusta mucho la mesa, es muy prctica y fuerte. Yo he estado sentada con la nia y aguanta bien mi peso.
Muy bonita, buen tamao, los nios la estn disfrutando un montn.
No le damos 5 porque sera ms cmodo si hubiera dos cajones dentro, para vaciarlo ms fcilmente.
Ahora hay q volcar la mesa o vaciar con un vaso.
A los peques les encanta. Sirve para jugar con agua y con arena a la vez gracias a sus dos compartimientos. Lleva tapa para poder usarla como mesa.
Delivery was super quick and product was as good as it looked
Excellent easy to put together very sturdy should last for years even outside .liner for water play seem a bit thin , but yet to be tried.
I am vey impressed with this lovely table and its a hit with my Grandson. It is well made and sturdy. A good buy
We have two cats so cant have your usual sandpit. This was the perfect solution as we can hid the sand from the cats and the kids have their own picnic area.
Arrived on time and had no trouble to assemble.
Excellent for the kids playing and eating tea after on top
Couldn’t ask for more brilliant well made little one loves it used often as table or water/sand fun kept outside very hardy and safe
hard to locate so amazon managed to up the premium. Item is just what I wanted for my granddaughte
ons have loved this perfect for summer picnics in garde
Tip: get some Tarpaulin and fit it to the sandpiy side as the kids will mix it all up the you will get water leaking from the sandpit side
My son loves this! It took a little over an hour to assemble and you really need an electric screwdriver (or very big muscles) but he hasn’t been out of it since. I can definitely recommend it.
Very good buy for granddaughter bit of a tomboy so sturdy enough
Great table it’s a shame the water section can’t be removed for emptying and refilling
Easy to assemble, and the kids love it, definitely worth every penny.
My niece wants to be out in the garden playing in the sand pit rain or shine so I would say this is a big hit.
This is overall a great table. The self assembly did take a while, and I advise having an electronic screw driver, but it is sturdy once put up.
The big drawback though is that there is no way of draining the water side, so it’s really hard to clean it out properly. I wish I hadn’t fitted the waterproof bit, and just got another cloth and made both sides have sand in.
My grandchildren love playing with this bench. only down side is that there is no drain to get rid of the water when finished playing.
Lovely timber set. Pleased with main product but lacks containers for sand/water as depicted on box/in photos. Liner provided is poor.
overall very happy with table.
reasons for 4 stars and not 5 – definitely needed an electric screwdriver to put together – would’ve been really hard without.
also the black mesh to stop the sand from falling through the gaps isn’t fixed into place and so keeps moving about.
would definitely recommend this product though – looks lovely in the garden.
Excellent quality, good price, easy to build, quick delivery and looks fab, my grandsons love it and I love the peace and quiet!!!!……thank you.
Bought this at a bargain price in anticipation of another great summer. Still boxed. Will be giving it as a gift in April for daughters birthday.
This was purchased as a gift for my grandson and he has enjoyed many hours outside in the fresh ai
Put the table top on and you have the ideal picnic table for the childre
Bought this for my sons 2nd birthday and he absolutely loves it, plays with his friends on it or has his lunch, multifunctional so great but and looks very cute.
Bought this for granddaughters 1st birthday and she loves it. Picnicking in the garden sitting at the table followed by water play. Neat, sturdy and pretty good quality
It is exactly what I was expecting. Excellent wood quality, and it smells really nice! My daughter loved it and so did I.
gave to my grandchildren for an Easter present and they both love it. now all we need is some sunshine
This is a robust item which is educational for the children,having separate compartments for the sand and the water. It is also good that it can be covered over when not in use forming a table and keeping small animals out.
Item arrived with one part damaged. Waiting for part to arrive from PLUM direct seeing as marketplace seller REFUSED to help despite paying a lot of money for this item.
Actual item is sturdy (have managed to get it up but making sure not to use the side that is broken), holds a lot of water & sand, my girls love it (age 5 & 12). The only slight disadvantage is there is no easy way to ‘tip’ the water out as the part that holds the water is screwed in. Kids playing ends up with sand in the water so trying to clean this was awkward.
Overall would reccomend highly, and PLUM customer services were fab. Much better value that plastic water/sand pits, can be kept up & used as a picnic bench.
Easy to assemble, the lid fits well – very popular with my daughters. We haven’t got water & sand in it as the sand gets thrown about quite a bit so it would get mixed up with the water.
The sand pit was delivered on time and when put together was a duel useful item,if you want to get your children in the garden order one now,because they are great fun and can also be used as a bench when having a BBQ
Absolutely love this sand pit, it’s really good quality and sturdy, my 3 children love it and it looks far nicer in the garden than the plastic pits I’ve had in the past.
