Wooden table and chair set for toddler - where can I get one?

[Janus]

I would like to get one of these for my 21 month old. I think wooden would be best as she will grab hold of the table to help herself on to the chair so needs something sturdy-ish, rather than plastic which I think she would pull on top of herself. It's really so she can do painting, drawing, etc.
I found a lovely set in the Great Trading link on the website but it's steep - £50 for the table and £25 for each chair, although you do get 20% off but I'm still reluctant to spend this much.
I would go to IKEA but haven't got one near me, does anyone know anywhere else I can get this? I would prefer to order online so I can get it delivered rather than struggle home with one, just to make it more complicated!
Thanks.

Janus, I was just about to suggest IKEA until I saw you rest of your post. They are so fab from there. Is there anyway someone you know could go. They do a set for £21. W ehave 2 one for her room and one for her playhouse. My 13 month old is happy to clamber onto the chairs and sits quite happliy too.

Janus- Are you sure you can't go to IKEA - they are fab !!!! If you do go (call ahead of time to ensure they are in stock though).

Must be the same set of table and 2 chairs we have - untreated wood? - just great.

(PS and I love their children's plastic daisy plates One Pound for a pack of 6 (the same for the beakers/cutlery.)

Only problem with IKEA is you go for one thing and end up spending £££££ 'since I won't get back for ages, and it's such a way to come'!!

I have everything from there, the furniture (they do a great junior bed that starts small and extends to a full sized single) the table/chairs, the bowls/plates/cups/cutlery/PC table, cubey box thing for a side table, TV cabinet (its the only one which takes a wide screen TV and has lockable glass doors!!!) etc etc

Oh Crunchie, your message made me laugh. I think our house is a replica of yours (apart from those individual stylised details of course!) The only think we dont have (yet) is the childs bed, but from all the recommendations on different threads it sounds like that is the one to get. Oh and yes, the table and chairs are fab, and I have great ideas for painting them, have had for about two months now!

Don't spend too much, we bought ours from a boot sale and it's now covered in pen and crayon so quite glad it only cost £6. Buy something cheap and cheerful for now and something special when she's older. My DD is now 3.5 and at the height of the colouring in stage! R

Thanks everyone. Sobernow, I have one of these cubes too and yesterday did put it down as a table and chair but mine has various poles across the bottom of the table which means she cannot pull the chair right into the table (and she's a wee thing so needs all the help she can get!).
What I wanted was a table and chair set which you can buy as many chairs as you wanted. She often has a friend or two around and it would be nice if they could all sit down together and paint, etc.
I love the IKEA set which, I think, is only £18 for table and 2 chairs, amazing value. I think I'm going to persuade my partner that we need to drive to one as it will be well worth the hassle for that price. I think you may be able to buy extra chairs too. I love the sound of the bed too, and the daisy plates, somehow I feel a bit of a 'shop' coming on!!!!
Thanks everyone.

Janus, just curious, how far are you from an IKEA? Our nearest are Warrington (wrong side of Manchester) and Leeds (ish), both well over an hour away but we still go occasionally (has to be occasionally because, as Crunchie says, you can't help spending ££££ every time you do go!)
If you do get your DH to take you, stock up on their freezer packs of Swedish meatballs, they are brill. (Tesco and Sains both do a version but not nearly as good.)
Another good thing is those wibbly-wobbly mirror squares in different patterns. Cheap and good fun.
And, ages ago but presumably they still have them, the frog/pig/cat etc brollies that are £8+ in Great Little Trading Co etc, for about £4. Every time I go I wish I still had a tiny to buy things for!

you're right janh, you end up spending loads because all the little bits look so tempting. we got a child-size beanbag last time (didn't like their covers so I made one of my own), plenty of tealights (£3 for hundreds), lovely brightly coloured book shelves for dd's room, dead easy to put up, oh and some fab bright fabric. and the meatballs. mmmmm

Ikea's plastic plates and cups are soooo much nicer than the disposable kind you normally buy for parties too, I think £1 for 6 cups and the same for 6 plates, and they go in the dishwasher and look lovely in nice bright colours

Paula1, yes, we have those - 4 sets of beakers and 2 sets of bowls - it's all irresistible!

Anyone got any "must haves" for the next time I go????

(Their loooong curtains are v good value BTW, for people who live in Victorian houses - they are up to about 230cm long, can't remember exactly but more or less ceiling to floor.)

Bundle, we have the bag of tealights, it's in the shed for DH to put in his lantern every time he retires in high dudgeon with the radio.

I also love their wall lights that only have to be plugged in, not wired.

Tablecloths too...200cm long beds for tall children...I have a hosp appt in Mancs soon, maybe we can fit in a trip to Warrington on the way home!

the picture frames are pretty good value & make nice "standby" presents, if you're like me and forget birthdays sometimes...

Janh, I guess we're probably about an hour, maybe more, drive away. This isn't so much but it's all across London which can be soooooo stressful! I hate driving across London as I can't be aggressive enough (and believe me I hate sounding so pathetic) so have to rely on partner driving and me being navigator.
My partner is not 'good' at shopping either, will walk around with a face like a smacked arse (excuse expression!) so its not going to be much fun! I usually get worked up at seeing him getting impatient so take twice as long and it generally disintegrates from there! Hence, I prefer to shop alone or online.
We don't actually argue much generally but shopping is our downfall!

Oh, and they've got these gorgeous blue or clear glass tea light holders for 30 pence each! I got 2. One woman had a whole bloody box of them - "Put that back NOW."

Oh, Janus, I so sympathise about men and shopping - mine once spoonerised about "aiming about wandlessly" when we were Christmas shopping (and we were childless then!) so I know exactly what you mean. (Smacked rat is our face.)
Have you a mate you could shop with? Or a sister or something? Definitely more fun that way...

Janus, if you do go (and well worth it if you can) DON'T GO ON A WEEKEND - it really is hell on earth (it is in Croydon anyway)!

Janus the one near Wembly is just as bad. If you decide to try and brave it try early in the morning - they open at 9 on a Saturday - or an evening - open til 10pm

Otherwise I saw some in John Lewis but they were more expensive too.

Pamina, I didn't spot the ambiguity at first, but you're not far off the mark!

The wall lights are fab. We have the red plasic heart light for our dd above her bed, only about £10, but buy loads of spare light bulbs for the future. Other IKEA must haves include kichen stuff, I have their amazing chopping board £15 for a huge 3cm thick solid board, it looks so nice. I have love their food storage books, just as good as tupperwear but so cheap. I could go on and on. Oh and we bought toy boxes last time £9 for a wooden box, with a lid which is ready to paint. We have made one into a seat, but bung all their toys underneath. If you have a little girl I love their play cooking stuff, real cake tins etc, just in mini sizes!

I love IKEA's grater/container set: two graters (one large holes, one small) that fit over an oval container, and it also has a lid so you can grate something in advance and then store it. We also have several sets of the children's fork & spoon with the kitty face on them -- perfect size for a four year old. Also own the daisy plates, bowls, etc. DD and I love their kitchen toys: we have the tea set, utensils, chopping board, dish rack, flatware, rolling pin, and two of the baking set which I use to bake her little cakes. Also stock up on their art supplies: paint brushes, paints, chalk, etc. I could go on and on...... DD just pointed out to me yesterday that we haven't been to IKEA in a while. The IKEA in northern California is also hellish on weekends. The scary thing is they recently built a multi-story car park and and are now busy constructing a second one!
