Sunny Safari Table and Chair by TEAMSON DESIGN CORPORATION

This cheerful table and chair set has a hidden bonus: lots of extra storage space. The cute, animal-bedecked chair features a shelf underneath the seat. The table also has cubbies to store arts supplies, blocks, and other toys. Editors' note: This set is both visually pleasing and very functional. Not only does it feature sturdy wooden components and attractive, hand-painted detail; it would also nicely support a coordinated theme for a child's room or play space. The only drawback, based on review by a young toddler, is that since the underneath storage compartments on the desk are set so far forward, children cannot sit very close or with their legs under the table because their knees will hit the cubbies.
