Think twice before making this purchase
"Disappointed in this purchase. Quality is not what I would expect from Costco. On the positive side, assembly of the table was quick and easy. Can't say the same for the train set itself. Instructions were less than clear and it appeared that everything was to be screwed together but there were no pre-drilled holes in the pieces or track. Half an hour into assembling the track I decided the quality of this set wasn't worth the trouble. Several pieces of the table were scraped up and a couple of the train set pieces were broken. Trying to get all of this re-packaged in the box is going to be difficult, but at least I know it will be returned at my local Costco without any problem. Took a chance on this one despite some negative reviews...wish I hadn't."

Solid train table with good customer service
Pros: good customer service from kidkraft manufacturer
"Ordered table and came with pieces broken, but all you have to do is go to the KidKraft website and order a new piece and they send/ship for free. Took 30 min. to assemble with two people. The finish/wood isn't high quality furniture, but it blends in well with the rest of our dark wood furniture and floors."

Great color!
Pros: easy to move, makes a great coffee table when train in down, all in one set, compatible w/ thomas and other major train brands, main table parts solid wood
Cons: top insert not real wood, image tears easily, top is two pieces, huge box/super heavy, flimsy plastic risers
Model Number: 594398
"This is one of the best investments, because not only does it entertain my son, his friends daily but when he's in trouble, it's easily stored and the top is turned over and viola, it's a coffee table! Only down side is the top is press board w/ glued paper gloss image. It easily warps when wet and rips/tears easily. Colored magic markers come in handy to fix in a bind. It was difficult to set up and the instructions weren't the best but, I managed on my own, it took several hours to setup plus many more to set up train set! Best advise...loosen screws while trying to insert side panels that slide in, it will fit nicely then tighten screws."

Average to Poor
Pros: my son really likes it, works with some of our thomas trains.
Cons: train table is not that sturdy, directons were terrible, assembly was a pain
"My parents bought this table for our son for XMas.. he saw it on the store and had to have it. It took my husband and dad an hour plus to assemble the table and the train/airport about 2 hours, directions were terrible and we had missing parts as well. If it were not a gift, we would have returned it."

Horrible
"I bought this table for my son for Christmas. After investing the 2.5 hours to fully assemble this poorly made product, the tracks didn't stay together, there were pieces missing - even the screws that were there broke! I scraped the train part and used the table to set up another toy. Eventually (2 days in) the drawers fell out and I returned the whole thing.
I thinnk this is the owrst quality product I have ever purchased!"

Great Train Table! Son Loves It!
Pros: great customer service from kid kraft, fun track, nice looking table, great storage
Cons: includes limited # of trains
"My 2 year old son loves this train table! So glad we purchased it.
It took my husband 2-3 hours to put together from start to finish, but did it a little bit at a time so it wasn't bad. He didn't complain about bad directions.
Customer service with Kid Kraft is excellent. One piece was slightly damaged and we called the day before Christmas Eve. We had the part delivered to our house on Christmas Day!
The regular wooden Thomas trains fit on this track. Not sure why the other reviewer said they don't. It sounds like the "small" trains he is referring to are the die cast metal trains which should not be expected to work on a wooden track. Also want to mention the Thomas "Early Years" trains are bigger than the regular wooden Thomas trains and the Early Years will fit on the track, but are too big to fit underneath the part of the track that goes under another piece of track.
The dips and hills on this track are so much fun. The spiral track is great too. This track is so much better than many other tracks I've seen on the market. Totally worth the money spent!
The table is very nice too. The storage bin underneath is one big bin and pulls out from either side (it's not two separate drawers like I thought it was, but is fine). It's nice to have the extra storage under the table instead of just wasted space like other tables have.
It's also nice that the table top flips over to a plain wood-like finish in case you ever want to use this as a coffee table in the future.
The set comes with cute pieces (car, fire truck, police car, police station, fire station, trees, airplane, helicopter, people, road signs, etc), but only three trains so have other trains on hand for your child to really have fun with this set."

A Very Good Train Table
Pros: very helpful manufacturer, fun & imaginative toy
Model Number: KidKraft® Metro Train Table Solid Wood Frame with Reversible Top
"Our daughter loves this train set.
It didn't seem to be packed well for shipping and several pieces were damaged when it arrived, but KidKraft sent the replacements by FedEx (with no shipping charges to us!). We had all the new pieces three days after our initial call to the company. They were very helpful.
The quality of the train and table are very good but not excellent.
Also, we think the wooden Thomas the Train pieces work fine. (The plastic motorized Thomases are too small for the tracks). The proportions of the wooden Thomas are not perfect, but are pretty close.
All in all we are very pleased."

Table is OK
Cons: thomas does not fit
Model Number: Kidkraft Metro Train Table
"So, it took me a good 1 1/2 - 2 hrs to assemble. The table is not bad but all the little parts with horrible directions and small screws are a pain.
Sort of well made, at least to the level that you would expect. A part was missing and the company sent it out immediately, which is good
Does not seem to work with Thomas trains which really is a borderline deal breaker. Very very bad feature which may cause me to take it back. The small Thomas trains are too small for the tracks. The larger ones that are automated are just a hair too big. Anyway, for my son, major bummer."

Good Value
"We have 3 boys and have had this table for 2 years now. It has held up nicely. I used "blue stick" clay to hold the tracks together. When the boys are tired of playing with the train, we can take it apart and store in the drawers below and use the top to drive cars on or put together puzzles. Overall a good purchase."

Great Train Table!
Pros: good storage drawer, reversible top, fun setup
Cons: not resistent to spills
"We purchased this train table a couple years ago. It has held up really well. The track will only go together one way, so you better like the set-up. I like that the train table top is reversible, so you can flip it and have a coffee table, if you want. Be sure to use coasters, though, because liquid will bubble the top."

Not worth the $$
"The track was cheaply made and broke a lot and the wood finish was not fantastic. I returned the table."
