    Fun for the first 3 minutes

    This is a sturdy, well constructed toy that did not skimp on quality or materials, however it is relatively simple, and a basic learning toy. My child (9) reports that it gets boring fairly easily.

    It is okay

    My child just didn’t see my that interested in it. It is a simple toy and it is exactly as advertised, so m just not sure it is worth it.

    Great buy!!

    My son loves this!!!! I bought one for him but the beads were too small and there wasn’t enough space for him to get his hands in between to move the beads. This one is big and perfect for small hands.

    Own the classic 'waiting room' toy!

    Love this 'waiting room' toy when I was growing up and wanted my son to have one of his very own! Very well made and colorful, light enough to be carried easily.

    I will not buy Doug and Melissa online.

    The blocks and curved "wires" are of good quality but the base is very light weight-very disappointing.The base needs to be heavier so when a young child pushes the beads it stays stationary. I know what good quality Doug and Melissa traditionally produce so this product did not meet my expectations.

    Great toy

    I bought this for my just turned two year old grandson for Christmas, but my almost three year old grandson loved it the most. My daughter asked me to please get it for his (3 year old) birthday coming up. Classic toy that all kids love + teaches eye hand coordination and counting/ addition/ subtraction etc. Great basic toy for all ages.

    Sturdy and interesting

    My 2 year old daughter loves it. We have a bunch of separate spaces in our house, so we setup different toys in different areas to give her a sense of variety. This way, if she wants to switch to a new toy, she has to get up and walk to a new area. Gives her a little exercise and keeps her interested in both old AND new toys. Anyway, this toy is nice and sturdy. The bottom is a weighty chunk of wood so it stays upright when she plays with it, rather than falling over. The wire-y parts are thick, so she can't bend them, yet. The beads are wide, too, so banging other toys against them hasn't broken anything. It isn't a fancy toy, but it seems to be well made and my daughter enjoys playing with it.

    Watch for chipping paint and splintering wood

    The toy arrived with damage on the wood base. I’m worried about it splintering. I wiped it down before giving it to my boys to play with and paint was coming off on my wipe. They chew on everything right now and this will most definitely come off in their mouths. I’m allowing them to play with it while I’m closely monitoring them because they seem very intrigued by it. I would not recommend or repurchase.

    Great Quality

    It is cute and a nice size for an almost one year old. Great quality and isn't huge so it fits in our toy bin when it's time to clean up.

    Nostalgic toy mostly lives up to the memories

    I always remembered loving these things as a kid and was excited to get one for my baby. He likes the colors and shapes of the beads, but I was disappointed that the paint is chipped in places.

    What a way for a child to learn about physics by experience!

    I sent the Classic Toy Bead Maze to my grandson who is a year and eight months old for the holiday season.. My grandson finds real joy with the bright colors and movable beads that he can let perch or slide down by gravity.
