Kids Art Table and Chair Set vs Simplay3 Creative Kids Art & Craft Table

Buy the FurniLab wooden set if you want real furniture that seats two or three kids and lasts through siblings. Buy the Simplay3 if you want a compact, easy-clean plastic art station for one child. The FurniLab has a larger tabletop, a bookcase, two chairs and a 132 lb seat rating; the Simplay3 is smaller, molded plastic with a raised-edge work surface and supply cubbies. Owners of plastic art desks like the Simplay3 praise the easy cleanup and rounded edges; wooden sets like the FurniLab feel sturdier but take longer to assemble and show wear on painted edges.

• Choose the FurniLab 4-in-1 set if you have two or more kids who will share the table, or you want a piece that looks like bedroom furniture and holds books as well as art supplies.
• Choose the Simplay3 Creative Kids Art Desk if you have one young child, limited floor space, and want a wipe-clean plastic station with a raised edge that keeps spills and markers on the table.
