Step2 Naturally Playful Up and Away Sand Table $34.98 Some TRUs

[MMMommy]

I picked up the Step2 Naturally Playful Up & Away Sand Table for only $34.98 in-store at Toys R' Us. It is this one--

It retails for anywhere between $90 to $100 usually, plus really high shipping costs online b/c it is a big box. Toysrus.com sells it for $79.99. I had called my local TRU with the item number from the TRU website to see if they had it in stock, and the store told me that it was discontinued and reduced to $34.98. They don't even have a paper ticket or display picture for the item at TRU, which is why most won't even know that it is that cheap or even in stock (big items like sand tables, play structures, etc. have paper tickets that you bring up to Customer Service at TRU when you buy them). But just a warning--it may be out of stock and hard to find b/c it is discontinued by TRU in-store. Also, some TRU stores may have varying reduced prices. The manager at another TRU told me that their last price was $49.99, another one said $67.98, and another store did have it for $34.98. I guess they have discretionary reduced prices. But for those of you interested who can find it, $34.98 is a great deal. We set it up today, and my girls love it. It's big with lots of sand play. And I thought the $59 Step 2 Sand/Water Table was a great deal, but this is a real bargain as well!

Thanks so much for the post! I ran right out and got one. I just got home with the last one available anywhere within a 50 mile radius of my house. I also bought the sand/water table at kmart last week but we just have water in it because I didn't want to deal with the mess. The sand only table was too good to pass up and came along just at the right time.

Thanks OP!!!!

They also have this at my Aldi store for $39.99.

It's really a great product! We set it up today and put 100 lbs. of sand (two 50 lb. bags) in it. I think 100 lbs. of sand is perfect, even though it says it can hold 200 lbs. The table provides lots of room for sand play, and the crane is so cute! The umbrella cover acts as a good cover, though I only use two of the three elastic ties to secure it down--I'm afraid it will rip or pull too much if I use all three. Can't attest to the longevity or durability yet, since we just started using it, but so far it seems like a great sand table! It's a bargain, considering the size and the umbrella. My girls played with it for two hours today and love it. Believe it or not, they didn't have sand all over them after playing with it.

Just picked one up in Stockton, CA. They seem to be the only ones in the No. Cal area that still have them in stock at 34.98. Can you use these as a water table? Thanks for the heads up on this deal!

[MMMommy]

That's a great idea. I think it could totally be used as a water only table. It would be like a big round trough. I bought two, so my second one could be used as a water only table. Thanks for the idea! One for sand, one for water.

I'm so jealous. According to hte TRU I called there are none left in my area (mass/nh). Figures.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for this post. I've been reading it for the past few days thinking no chance I'd get one because I always forgot to call TRU and check during the day. Well I called this morning first thing and found out MY Toys R Us had a few marked down to $19.98.

Whoo-hoo!!! {Insert Cartwheels}

I bought 3 of them, one for the house and the others for my nephews. I'm so excited! What a deal!

Thanks again Karen!

Wow! Kudos to you! $19.98 is an unbelievable bargain! Oh how I covet your unbelievably low price! Hmmmm. Now I'm trying to figure out if I can somehow get a price adjustment at a TRU where it last rang up as $19.98--but I don't think any near me had it at that price. $19.98 is an AMAZING price!!!! I'm so glad you found it!
