Toys and Games Reviews of Little Tikes Builder's Bay Sand & Water Table
Customer Review: Base is sturdy but tops dont stay on
Summary: 2 Stars
We bought this 2 years ago. The base is very sturdy and has taken two years of abuse, including being left outside all winter. However, within a few months of purchase the ties were completely stretched out and the plug that held the water in stopped working. I called Little Tykes which said it would take 8 weeks! to send me free replacements. Well - that was the end of the summer, so that wasn't a grand solution, but I took it. They sent a complete set of all accessories (ties, plugs, crane, truck, etc.) The new ties were just as bad as was the plug. The kids definitely mix the sand and water since the two sides are connected but they don't seem to care. There is no place for a sand castle, as another reviewer mentioned, but the road part is cool. The umbrella lasted well over a year of being left out all the time and then my kids started taking it out and playing with it around the yard and it bit the dust. We didn't leave it up in the wind, but I didn't really expect it to be wind-proof so I was pleased with this. We used another standard beach umbrella to replace it and I was glad that it fit in the hole. the only complaint on the umbrella is that it was pretty low so as an adult it was hard to get under it and play with the kids. I like the way the base is curved which makes it easy to keep the kids separate. Also, with the raised bottom of the sand table, you can store buckets and shovels underneath, since not much fits inside.
overall, I give this a bad review because you can't keep the rain out unless you literally cover it with a tarp. After the ties wore out, we tried just putting small logs on top to weigh down the tops but they would not stay waterproof. The ties were elastic that went underneath and pressed into place, so there was no way to jerryrig another solution. Given that the covers were a big reason why I bought it, this was a big issue. If you plan to use this somewhere covered, the rest of the toy is pretty good, but given the high price, I would look to another one before this.
