Q: do you actually use the tools to built the sets or more for pretend play?
submitted by Joynhappy - 7 years ago
A: Hi! Once an adult constructs the workbench, maybe with some young carpenter assistance(?), there are lots of fun projects to build independently!

Attractive and sturdy, but the corners are extremely sharp. Picture having raw lumber designed as a toy.

Consoder assembly time
Welp I don’t know what I was thinking when I ordered this. I mean it’s a very cool set but when I opened the box it hit me I would be spending hours putting this thing together. So I decided to store it for next Christmas because this tired mama just didn’t feel like doing it this Christmas.

Yes, but ...
My two toddlers love their tool bench and it's very well made on the whole, but unfortunately much like the other reviews, the vice broke within a couple of supervised play sessions. As others have said, the wooden pin holding the handle on seems to have snapped. It sounds like a weak point. Am hoping a replacement part is available but we're in the UK and it was a gift so no idea where it was purchased from.

Cute and fun! Buy extra parts
Very cute workbench! My 2 year old loves playing with the wooden pieces. Husband said it was easy to assemble but did take about an hour. Only recommendation: comes with just enough pieces to build items in the model kit instructions so if something is lost or misplaced you might not be able to make all the builds. Buy the take along tool box for extra parts.

Did not dissapoint!
Very satisfied with this product. Great size for my 3 year old. Even my eight year old loves it. My son did manage to break the vice already, but he is a very strong toddler. Still very happy. Melissa and Doug never disappoints.

Almost in love
Santa brought this for my 2 and 4 year olds. It was easy to assemble. The bench itself is sturdy. It comes with plenty of pieces for the kids to explore and come up with their own creations. They love it! I didn't give five stars because an hour into play, the vice completely broke. A tiny wooden peg snapped when my son was tightening the grip, which caused the entire vice to come off and is now unusable. Also, one of the green building pieces is already splintered at the top. I was disappointed to find out that the company wasn't able to send me replacement pieces. I would still recommend, but maybe beware that the vice is fragile.

Great workbench! Ignore reviews complaining about assembly
This is an adorable little work bench and was simple to assemble with clear instructions. Reviewers complaining about assembly must not know the rule to never fully tighten screws until you are all done. Yes, you may need to adjust the legs a bit when adding other supports, but that is normal and to be expected. It took me about 30 minutes to fully assemble (though I did use an impact driver instead of the tiny included allen wrenches). I highly recommend this toy, my son is going to love this when we give it to him on his birthday. Excellent quality, sturdy and will last a long time.

It was worth it
Work bench is great. Just don't tighten the screws until the entire table is assembled. The only issue is the wooden nuts and bolts. Those pieces work better on some days and then other days they are too loose. Being they are wood they expand and contract with the weather and wooden threads break easily. Would buy again.

Cutest work bench
Love this tool bench/ work table. Bought this for my two year old but it’s frequently played with by my older kids too. It doesn’t have loud colors and is all made of wood. Set up didn’t take too long either! I’d definitely buy again.

Wood bench parts
Brought this wooden project bench for my daughter birthday. You better be mechanical inclined to build this cause you will be taking apart pieces and trying to fix it in the right direction. Will not line up correctly. Some wooden pieces the hole is off. You will have to re drill new holes. Building the models the wooden parts will spin and not get tight. I will be a challenge if you are up for it. But other than those problems,the bench is very strong.

Kids Love It, Assemble was a Pain
Our kids have been building for a couple days now and love it! Unfortunately 75% of the parts to build the table did not line up correctly and I had to jump around to different steps to get everything to actually connect (still have some gaps and a screw that won't go in all the way) The bolts also only actual thread into a couple of the block holes which makes getting snug builds difficult and even pieces fall right out.
