Find Best Price at Amazon"He absolutely couldn't wait to get his little hands on this set and it's a good thing my husband is very handy and was able to put the table and all of the little pieces and structures together within a couple hours so our son could start playing with it right away. This set comes with a lot of pieces and I've included a couple pictures of the table so you can see what it looks like. This set also comes with a helipad, helicopter, small airport runway that consists of four puzzle pieces, a plane, a plastic mountain with a waterfall, a bridge, a turntable that really works, a crane, and small wooden pieces made to look like a hospital, police station, fire station, and gas station. We bought Orbrium Toys 12 Pcs Wooden Engines & Train Cars Collection Compatible with Thomas Wooden Railway, Brio, Chuggington which work perfectly with this set. We also have a number of the Thomas and Friends wooden trains such as Fisher-Price Thomas the Train Wooden Railway Thomas and Fisher-Price Thomas the Train Wooden Railway James Engine which are compatible with the wooden tracks in this set. I've even sat down on the floor and played with the table with them so kids of all ages can definitely benefit from this table set."
"Its really eaten up a lot of floor room so be prepared to sacrafice some space for it if your real estate is scarce. Also. one minor section that was pre-screwed and glued on to support the surface was cracked during assembly from over-tightening of screws, but it didn't effect the overall integrity so we gave that a pass. Our public library has a similar table (smaller) and they used a protective plexiglass to cover the surface. My boy also requested I add sirens and a star logo to the police car and firetruck which I happily obliged with some adhesive paper. I've bought a few Amazon warehouse deals now, and honestly if you are just buying for yourself, it really is worth taking a chance on."
"It has a huge train set with lots of extra accessories like little people, trees, and road signs. This table is great quality and could be interesting for a younger preschooler or older child who likes to build."
This 52 Piece Set contains the following: 12 2" Straight Track, 12 3.5" Curved Track, 12 6" Straight Track, 12 6" Curved Track, 4 Curved Switch Track. Includes Straight Track, Curved Track, and Curved Switch Track.

"Worked great with Fisher Price Thomas set to expand and embellish a cool track layout."
"Great tracks, I combined these with tracks from IKEA and Battery Operated Thomas the Train."
"Without the switch track pieces all you can make are bigger figure-8's."
"but overall the items where great no burs or wood shavings and looked great."
"THESE AND THE WOOD TRAINS ARE THEEEEE BEST TRAINS FOR TODDLERS."
"I read that others had problems with the pieces fitting together."
"The biggest problem with this set was with the switch tracks: instead of getting two of each type (in order to split the tracks apart and bring them back together) as shown in the picture on the product page, the set we received contained four switch tracks of the same type, which renders them all useless. Unfortunately, the lack of switch tracks limits the kids to building single-loop tracks, which significantly reduces the overall value of this set."
The fun is endless, this train set will keep little engineers busy for hours. Set comes complete with engine, coaches, a bridge, buildings, city vehicles (police cruiser, ambulance, cars, buses), road signs, trees, and figurines.

"Bought this for my 2 years old but this might be too difficult for him yet."
"My major beef about this set is that the two pieces that ramp up to/slope down from the bridge are poorly designed and ours are slightly warped."
"The track pieces do not fit very well together and break apart from each other when played with."
"Some of the parts are not a perfect fit, but still allow smooth transition of cars and trains."
"Imagine my surprise at 3:30 in the morning Christmas day taking this out of the box for the first time and putting it all together only to realize that there is absolutely not one single train in the box."
"Putting the entire track together is impossible I'm missing a certain piece so I can fully connect the whole track together, otherwise the product is alright, my 3 year old likes it and still plays with it."
"Purchased this for Christmas under the impression that the pieces included will build what is on the box."

"Some of the pieces when connected aren't centered so the tracks don't line up perfectly which causes the trains to derail."
"Just a few hits on each corner of the car with a wood file and some paint and that fixes that. But once you give these cars some added clearance they no longer bind when going around curves on the track. #2 The stays (towers, piers, whatever you want to call them) for the elevated tracks are very poorly done. I solved this problem by doubling each one and holding them together with rubber bands. If you try to run the train under the brides or elevated track, it just barely makes it. I solved this by popping open the bell and adding some washers in there to give it more weight. The trees and signs fall down very easy if you setup on carpet. It's like the turn about is about 1/8" too thick material compared to the track pieces. I fixed this with a little cardboard taped to the bottom of the tracks that mate up with the turn-about. Honestly if all my issues were solved from the manufacturer, I'd consider $100 a bargain for this set."
"We have 2 year old twins in the family who can't use the whole set yet, but we just bring out the basics and keep the rest in the box."
"Santa brought this for my little guy and he has played with this set EVERYDAY since (it end of Jan now)."
"As we tried to put it together, we had hard time keeping joint supports from falling."
"We bought this for our 6 year old daughter, she wanted a train that she could push and I love the quality of Melissa and Doug products."
"I bought it for my 2 1/2 year old grandson who lives in a different state so I don't get to see him play with it, but I did see the product and watch him (and his older cousins) play with it a bit at Christmas, and it seemed to be a substantial, well-made product inviting creative play."

"The waterfall piece has a very clear and cheesy white brushstroke down it to look like real water or something, they could have just left it solid blue and not ruined the look with a chincy paint job."
"We had to reinforce the bridge and I wish there was an easy way to glue the tracks in place (the shiny surface doesn't allow glue to hold)."
"This was a great value during the Black Friday season, but it's not the same quality as the expensive sets, like Thomas the Train."
"We opted to play without the "mountain" piece because other trains (that were purchased separately) wouldn't fit through."
"The main reason I bought it was for my 3 year old girl to put her barn set on,and horses; with the train set all packed up the table is green and has a pond, works perfectly."
"Great value, and lots of accessories, but we ended up bagging up a lot of the small trees and other figurines so they wouldn't get lost or strewn about everywhere."
"Best gift ever!"

I'm sure this will provide many hours of quiet play time for my daughter and honestly, I even enjoy going in there when she's done and straightening all the furniture and arranging the little people in cute positions!"
"I found some of the holes didn't quite match up, and the bottom floor wall doesn't quite touch the floor. :( Also can't figure out why the top stairs don't match with the floor. I bought the Happy Together dollhouse people, and the Hape Family Pets."
"The house is great."
"What I don't like is that some of the screw hole do not line up properly, which in turn makes other pieces not line up properly."
"The Chelsea Doll Cottage is an excellent starter doll house for our Grand Daughter who just turned 3 years old."
"This is a Christmas gift for our 3 year old granddaughter and we can’t wait for her to unwrap it!"
"Also, some of the small sections and backer sections (#11 top pieces and 4A/4B/etc) were not tall enough to cover the full pre-drilled spacing; as such there are gaps in the assembled version and the back board is in danger of falling out if jostled because it doesn't rest fully in the channel."
"The pre-drilled holes for assembly are not in the right position, so the pieces do not fit together properly."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Let me begin by telling you that we are huge Paw Patrol fans in this house and already own several of the pups and their mid-sized vehicles. When the set is open, you can fit 6 vehicles inside and 4 passengers - 2 get seats and 2 don't. They are made of a thicker paper, almost a thin cardboard and they separate. The Paw Patroller is a fun and durable "WOW" gift for any child. It has been played with for hours in our house and the kids love to pretend they are Ryder and Marshall! Note that some of the figures, such as Everest, are NOT included in the set and are sold separately."
"I will start by saying that my daughter (3.5 years old) is obsessed with this toy. The front of the truck is pretty large and can fit a lot of pups. When we play and my daughter drives the Paw Patroller around, she is always disappointed that she can only choose 3 cars to put inside it. I would love to be able to store more of the vehicles in the truck when we are finished playing! The front and back of the truck are so close together that there isn't any room for it to turn corners. My daughter has a really rough time turning it around in the playroom and always asks for me to do it. I just can't see why it costs so much (other than that it has the Paw Patrol name and that means people will pay a lot for it). My daughter likes it, but she usually ends up just playing with the pups and vehicles that I had to buy in addition to this."
"There are also 1-2 other things you must attach / get in place before letting a kid play with this one. Comes with Ryder figure and ATV. BUT, you CAN stuff an entire set of Paw Patrol figurines inside the Paw Patroller when closed IF you use figurines, racers and/or an appropriate combination of figurines and mid-sized vehicles. Here's what we stuff in our Patroller (while still being able to close it): Two medium-sized vehicles with riding figures (Ryder & ATV, and Everest & snowmobile); Two small racers (Chase and Zuma); Two figurines plus their detachable packs (Skye and Rocky); Two figurines with spring-action packs (Robodog and Tracker); and. Two figurines with other features (Rubble and Marshall)."

All four tent rods need to be set up from the inside of the tent, so I had to crawl in there; However, It is not that easy for a 5'11 adult. Anyway, this tent is perfect to take to beach and park too, since it is very light and easy to pack into a small bag, Overall, I am very happy with this purchase, so I give it 5 stars based on the cheap price and portability. It is little difficult to set it up because all four tent rods need to be set up from inside the tent, so I had to crawl in there."
"I have had children in it ages 5-13 and an 85 pound dog that loves it, as well as two cats that believe it's for them lol."
"My granddaughter's eyes were wide and bright when she saw her pretty pink tent! She likes to play in her own private space sometimes, and the play tent allows this, while still giving the adults in charge the ability to easily see that all is well with her."
"It was easy to put together and is small enough to fit in the corner of the living room."
"This should easily fit two or more little girls at a time and will provide a fun play time!"
"Although the tent is somewhat durable, I do not recommend rough-house playing in or around the tent such as how my grandboys would play."
"This is such a cute, fun tent for any little girl. I got this for my daughter to have her own private hideaway."
"It has two side windows that roll up for ventilation or to just talk out of and a door on the front that folds up.It's just about 3.5 feet in diameter so there's plenty of room inside, yet it doesn't really seem like it takes up much space when it's set up."
