When it comes to playgrounds, apart from slides and swings, all children love playing in the sandbox. Not only can they safely play a lot of games with their friends in there, they can also dig in the sand and even build cool sand castles and other sand sculptures.
While bringing a playground in your back yard or garden is kinda hard, although not impossible, bringing a sandbox is really easy and it is in fact very popular, as evidenced by the wide variety of “home sandboxes” that are available on the market.

Consumer concerns:
Although everybody seems to love the Step 2 Naturally Playful Sand Table, some consumers do have some very minor complaints to make. The first is that rain water can sometimes get through the holes made for the tie downs. You can easily solve this by filling the holes with some silicon. Another issue that some people reported is the fact that the table may be too short for some kids; this can be solved by putting a milk crate or something similar under the legs of the table, to give it a little boost.
