(More customer reviews)Within a very short time (days) of getting this item, I kept noticing that my kids kept knocking one of the doors off (usually the far right one because it's opening is the most awkward out of them all). Then I I would see two off, and then three, and well, you get the picture. I got so sick of popping them back into place, that I just took all of them off completely. In a way, it's almost better that they pop off with force, because if they didn't, they may just break off, and then you can't put them back at all.
It's the centerpiece of the train setup, and it takes up A LOT of the table. We don't have the pricey Thomas table, just a generic one that is only about an inch-and-a-half shorter, but the roundhouse takes up a ton of space. It's also very hard to make a full connecting layout to all the roundhouse's connectors. You need a lot of track, especially the small curved ones. You definitely can't buy a lot of other large buidlings/pieces to go along with it. It makes the visuals look pleasing of your train arrangement, but I found that the kids don't seem to play with it much. They usually run the trains around without going through it or using it. They are both under 4, so maybe when they are older they will get more use out of it, and we can put the doors back! The sounds are nice, the push button mechanisms to release the trains work perfect, and the tools in the back are a nice touch, so despite my greivances, it does have some good points. You just have to decide if you want to shell out the dough. I would think it over about whether you want to just buy 4 or 5 nice play buildings to take up your table, which the kids may play with more, or this one very large piece they may get bored with.
