Troubleshooting

Table feels wobbly after assembly.

Check that all 'clip-together' sections are fully engaged and securely fastened. Ensure the table is on a level surface.

Water not draining effectively.

Ensure the drainage plugs (if applicable and present) are fully open. Check the table's surface for any blockages that might impede water flow.

Accessories seem small for older toddlers.

While the included accessories are sized for the recommended age group, you can supplement with larger child-safe beach toys or kitchen utensils for extended play options.

Plastic discolouration after outdoor use.

This is a natural effect of UV exposure on plastic. To minimize this, use the provided cover when not in use and store the table indoors during prolonged periods of inactivity or harsh weather.
