Track Laid, Trains Ready

Assembling yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 Tools you'll need

- Patience
📐 Good assembly

Frequently Asked Questions
What train tables do you assemble?
All types - flat-pack tables, tables with built-in layouts, multi-level tables with train sets. Kidkraft, Brio, Thomas compatible - whatever you've bought.
Do you set up the track too?
Yes - if the set includes a track layout, we lay it out according to the design. If it's a blank table for your own layout, we leave it ready for your creativity.
What about the scenery?
Buildings, trees, bridges, turntables - we position all the accessories so the set is complete and ready to play.
Is the table sturdy enough for leaning on?
We build it properly so it is. Kids lean on train tables constantly - poor assembly means wobbly tables and collapsing layouts.
