We live in a condo and I was thinking of getting my toddler a nice activity table (to color, put train set on, legos, etc) with storage (much needed)... Because of our limited space I'm considering getting a "quality" one instead of just a plain toy and also use it as our coffee in our living room... Would you do that in my circuntances? What do you think of this table from Land of Nod?

This one is nice, but with a toddler, I'd be concerned about pinched fingers. |

Op here: although I *need* storage, I don't actually like the "look" of it got my condo.... It looks too "boxy." The advantage I see in the one from LoN is that if I have guests over I can remove the drawers and the paper holder... Hummm Sometimes I wish I just lived in a bigger place... |

We're thinking of doing the same thing in our family room. This is another option:

We've been thinking about doing something similar. This was the one I was considering.

| Wow. Love love love the land of nod table. We have a small apartment too, and that is such a nice blend of kid- and adult-friendly. |

| What's the advantage over a regular wooden coffee table? Couldn't you could accomplish the same thing with any table and some bins on the floor underneath? The paper rollers strikes me as a hassle, but maybe if your kids are out of toddlerhood... |
