Several of our suppliers do workbenches but this is my favourite. Usually they are strictly adult-assembly items held together by a handful or two of metal screws.  I like this because the child itself can help screw it together using the big chunky wooden screws that he/she can twist in by hand - no screwdrivers here. It's good and sturdy and comes with the usual tools, a vice and plenty of wooden nuts and bolts.

In our shop, we have had a number of different tea sets, this is one of the best.  It comes in a 'wicker-effect' basket and contains 4 cups and saucers, 4 side plates, 4 teaspoons and a tea pot. I like it because the cups are metal and therefore waterproof.  Children so often like to make cups of 'tea' which can be a problem with the pretty wooden sets.
