table and chairs (not ikea)

Halo79RN · November 2008

Okay, need new recs. we were looking at an Ikea set... but my mom doesn't want me to buy and then to pay me back, she lives in MS (no ikea down there), cannot order the set online... called the number my local ikea salesperson gave me (in person) and was treated poorly... the manager gave her no options other than putting my name on her credit card... which my mother explained (again) she is in MS, I'm in NYC. Apparently they will take someone coming in with a cc number on a piece of paper (with a different last name) but won't take an order over the phone? My mom even asked for a catalog dept and was told Ikea doesn't do phone orders (which I found a number online for catalog orders.. but now my mom is turned off).

So... give me a table and chair set that won't break the bank but my kids won't break within a month either.

thanks.

There are quite a few Ikea kids' tables/chairs you can buy on their website...

DOH, I just noticed you already said it wasn't one you can buy online, sorry!

Walmart has a couple different table/chair sets - but I think most of them are themed (like Dora or Thomas the Tank Engine) But I guess you could always paint over them when she grows out of Dora.

Toys R Us carries the same sets.

Target online has lots to choose from. Just don't get the least expensive, $79.99 wooden ones like we did, because we haven't had it very long and one chair is already broken. Both chairs tip VERY easily. I would look for a chair with a wide enough base that it won't tip so easily.?
