Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

OK, I was very hesitant about ordering this item as it seemed too good to be true. We had been to the big box stores and they have all the brand name Thomas sets and if you enjoy nice packaging and the idea of spending big bucks for tiny sets, read no further and waste your money at the local retailer. However, if you want a great train set and a table to keep everything elevated and organized, this deal is too good to pass up. Package came via UPS - free shipping; no tax (depends where you live); box was in tact and in good shape. Table was easy to assemble - less than 30 minutes. Instructions are clear and easy to understand and illustrate every step. I was so pleased with the table, I figured the train set would be lacking in some way - just the opposite. All the track pieces are uniform and fit together well. Some of the town pieces (helipad & crane) require assembly, but are easy as well. The whole time I was putting this together and setting it up, I was thinking how much our little boy will love this set. He is only 2 but he is very careful with his toys. Set says ages 3 and up - you will have to use your own judgement. I will most likely scale down the number of pieces I let him play with and give him more as time passes. This will keep his interest peaked and also help to avoid lost pieces.
