Great gift for a one year old!
Purchased as a gift for a one year old, they loved it! It kept them happily occupied. Melissa and Doug is one of my go-to brands for children's toys.

Fun toddler toy
My son loves it. I love how I don’t have to reload it. It is loud, but it is a hammer. He gets to play like daddy and safely.

Quite heavy.
Colors are bright. Well made and sturdy. That said be aware that if it falls on a small child’s feet, it will hurt them because it is heavy being completely made out of wood. Our one year old likes to carry it and we must follow him to make sure he doesn’t drop it on himself.

Not a winner
The pegs don’t really have a lot of vertical range so my almost two year old lost interest pretty fast.

Fell Apart Quickly
This toy fell apart within a couple weeks of Christmas. My son enjoys ordering and counting the colorful pegs, so it’s not a complete waste. I’m surprised by the quality of this toy, though. Melissa and Doug usually does much better.

Hammering Away!
Our 2 year old hammers away all day on this thing! She loves it. The only downfall is the paint does start to chip.

Fun and safe for my one year old!
I got this for my 15 month old. He loves to play with tools and hammers but a lot of the play toys aren't safe for his age because of choking hazards. This is amazing! The nails don't come out so no safety risk there. He loves to play with this. It comes with a sturdy hammer to hit the nails with. Just have to watch out for little fingers so they don't get smashed!

Great for babies!
10 month old loves this! I love that the pieces don’t come out and are attached to the base. Also not super loud when he pounds on it

Not the best
The quality is good, however, it’s a bit boring and because of the base, you can only pound this in a certain kind of way. I think it would be better if the pieces could eventually fall through. My toddler might be interested in this for about 60 seconds. I’d prefer to spend the money elsewhere.

Great toddler toy
My daughter loved this when she was little. I love that the pegs are connected, so you don't lose them or have to "reload" them into the holder. A great gift for a 1-2 year old.

Great find to help define motor skills for my little one. It’s held up real nice with all the hammer bangs.

Great toy!
Bought this for a 1 year old and it was a hit! Had to take the hammer away but absolutely loved pushing the pins up and down. It’s great that it all stays together!
