Good design but poor quality, 8 Sept. 2011

I bought this toy for my toddler son. But so disappointed because all wooden blocks were stacked together by paint. I had to separate them by kitchen knife and it was so hard and dangerous. The paint is very roughly coated. One of the peg was very loose and had to be glued. The design is good to have so many shapes and colours in one but the uneven square block seems too difficult for toddlers to do. My son had no clue on how to pile them, get frustrated and through them on the floor. It is ok for older children but older children may not be interested in this type of toy.

Shapes don't fit on all the pegs, 3 Jan. 2013

I purchased this toy for my 16 month old daughter last year. This is of course a very educational toy, but the holes of some of the shapes are not the same size. Although you can't see the difference in size with the naked eye, all of the shapes don't fit on all the pegs. For example, 4 of the circles can't fit onto the 2 outer pegs, they only fit on the middle peg. Which is quite frustrating to my daughter (and myself) when she tries to put the shapes on the pegs.

good stacker but sticky, 2 Sept. 2006

well made and colourfully painted wood peices.handy sized peices for small hands, yet feel sturdy enough for rough handling.however, beware for the one i ordered the paint had transferred from one peice to another, flecks of blue on yellow, red on green.otherwise this would have been a five star rating.
