Let me first say that I love KidKraft because they think like parents!
Also, as of 12/9/06 Amazon did not have the correct image of this item, the pictures was for the kidkraft trundle in the natural color, not honey.
These trundles came with my son’s train table from KidKraft. I was drawn to them for many reasons:
*They are BIG!!!! You can’t fit all the train pieces in those other tables that have pull out drawers or the tiny baskets that slide underneath the table. I LOVE that two trudles are the size of the table – HUGE!
*They are on casters. Easy in, easy out! My kid can do it so I don’t have to! They are easy enough to roll around that my 2-year-old son can do it on his own. If you look carefully at the trundles, you’ll see that there are even cut-outs for small fingers to grab the trundles so they can move them. It’s impossible to smash your fingers between the trundle and table.
*They are easy for kids organize! One side of the trundle has a rope handle, while the other side has a chalkboard plate so you can label what is in each! (or do as I did, and draw a picture of a train and a picture of train tracks so my kiddo knows what is what since he can’t read yet)
*Again, did I mention they are HUGE??
These trundles are well made with the casters fitting easily into place by screwing in a pre-drilled hole. A simple washer fits over the top and lays flush with the inside of the table so little ones can’t hurt themselves on sharp screws or hardware. My husband and I had these both put together (he did one while I did the other) in 10 minutes max.
Like I said in the beginning, these were well thought out. I love the features of the trundles – I’m sure a parent was involved in creating these! I also believe you get what you pay for, and while these are some of the more ‘expensive’ trundles on the market, they are well worth it. After a year of play, they are holding up just fine, with very little wear and tear (and that’s with a 2-year-old!)
I’d read other reviews talking about the size of these trundle drawers, but without perspective it didn’t mean much to me. So, let me say that my two year old son frequently climbs into a drawer and crawls under the train table. He can lie completely inside a drawer and his twin brother can close him up. If I smushed them a bit, I could fit both boys in one drawer.
Assembly was very straightforward and easy. The bottom panel is wood like the sides, rather than crummy particle board. It is also finished like the sides so the drawers look nice, open and closed. The cutouts, front and back, prevent the smashing of little fingers. The casters work an thick carpet. I wish they’d included a wooden handle, because I’m not fond of the rope, but they’re not really my drawers and the boys don’t care.
I rated these drawers 4 stars for educational value. I said this because the boys LOVE rolling the drawers in and out. This makes it fun for them to roll the drawers out to put away their trains, tracks, and other toys. The size of the drawers makes it easy for them to store their things after play and we can enforce some loose organization of items, by color or size or type.
On amazon this said that it went with the KidKraft train table I ordered but it doesn’t come close to fitting under then table. It looks like a nice drawer but the whole point was for it to roll UNDER the table!
Great addition to my son’s train table. Keeps all the trains and other toys in order. Very good construction and the casters are easy enough for my 3 year old to move the drawer by himself.
We have two drawers to go with the train table. They are practically endless in terms of storage space. Well constructed and easy open/close design (rolls back and forth under the table).
