Very nice toy. Kids loved it. Good for visual perceptual skills. Pieces appear to be durable. I love the box it comes in.
Good dressup closet. Cute and fairly sturdy but mirror arrived with a few knicks.
Although there was some corner damage and the cork board was a little messed up, the seller made up for everything in a promt and courteous way. My daughter loved the desk! I loved how nice it looked! Very roomy, plenty of storage space and highly functional.
I ordered this set for our grandaughters 2nd birthday. I putit together, easy and is great quality! The stools are easy for her to carry around to where she wants them, she even likes to stack them as I had them when I brought it to her. They are very sturdy, we have pictures of she and her father who is 6'4" and 220+ sitting on the stools at her table eating cake and ice cream. I am very pleased with the set. It should last a long time and even be able to be used for her children. Thanks! wonderful product! Happy Grandma!
I contemplated buying a similar table and chairs from pottery barn but wasn't so sure about the price. I'm glad I checked Amazon first. This is great quality and looks just as good, if not better, than kids tables from pottery barn.
My two year old grandson loves both the farm and safari animals. Only wish you didn't have to buy the blocks separately they can be hard to find.
My 2 year old loves this Christmas present. It is nice to have a chalkboard and a white board option for him. Lots of storage on both sides and the red canvas bins look nice and are very functional. The best part is that it is fairly compact, but still substantial enough to last a while.
My son received a set of these IO Blocks as a gift and they're really fun! He absolutely loves them! He is 3.5 years old and although the box says ages 4+ he plays with them really well. These blocks are really unique and different from other construction toys. As a mom of 2 little boys, I think it's wonderful to give them a variety of ways to show their creativity and work on their fine motor skills. My youngest is almost 2 and while he's not quite ready for building with the IO Blocks, we had so much fun building together. Even younger kids can use them for fun activities like counting and sorting colors. It's fun to watch kids grow with toys like this building set and see how they hone their skills over time. The box shows quite a few examples of fun things that can be made with the IO blocks. We made the robot together and also a few other things, a tractor, a boat, etc. It was such a fun way to spend time together while doing something that my kids enjoyed. New toys are always lots of fun but I can tell this will be one that they use for a long time. There are six colors: black, white, tan, blue, green, and red. There are about 12 different shape styles. They are not super difficult to use for younger kids. My 3.5 year old had no trouble figuring them out right away, which was great. There is a cardboard piece that comes with the blocks in the package. If you download the IO Blocks app on either iOs or Android (it's free), you can use your camera to scan the cardboard and it shows you awesome 3D Augmented Reality renderings of lots of things that you can build with the IO Blocks. There are 4 categories: animals, vehicles, robots, and structures. This is a great way for parents and kids to use the examples to build the items in real life. I'm a visual learner myself, so this is a great option to get the most out of this building set. Older kids can probably use the app on their own, but we like to supervise anything that uses a camera with our son. Overall I think this is a great toy set that combines the art of fun with love of learning. I love that this building set combines a physical toy with technology. If used together, it can be a great tool and a way for kids and parents to spend quality time together.
We have had more people ask us "Where did you get that?" With this item than any other item in our kids play room! It fits amazing amounts of dress up clothes, both for our 6 yr old daughter, as well as our 4 yr old son. And this Mama is happy that the dress up clothes are all organized in one area now.
We just had a new baby by c-section and life is now very interesting staying home with both our newborn and our 18 month old. Big brother loves to help in the kitchen and this stool allows him to do so safely. He can get in and out with minimal help, which is key as I’m on lift restriction for several weeks. We appreciate the removable non-slip rubber pad for the base when he helps with dishes and giving his baby brother a bath. Would highly recommend!
Bought this for my helpful 2 year old. Still apprehensive about having her use it when I’m cooking and my husband isn’t around just in case she does something crazy-like grabbing things she’s not supposed to. But she loves being able to see what I’m doing. It’s super sturdy, great quality. It’s a bit on the heavy side so it’s not that easy to just pack it up and move it to the side after every use. It was easy to put together since you only had to put in the stabilizers, but the bottoms scratched our floors and it wasn’t easy to just push out of the way so we had to buy felt pads so it’s much easier to push around. It came with a net as a pictured and a non slip mat which is great! Knocking down one star because it’s not as mobile/easy to put away as I thought since it’s a little on the heavy side for me.
This is nicely constructed. It is a nice size for one child to do a small project, but too small for a large project or multiple children. My four year old is happy with it. I like that it has an on/off switch.
The blocks have a nice texture and it's a pleasing feeling to connect them. They are a little bigger than I thought from the pictures and a nice color variety. My daughter really likes them and they really spark creativity.
Awesome product. It comes assembled, minus the safety net. The safety net was surpringly difficult to attach to the unit because the bolts didn't seem long enough to catch the threads. The best way to install the net would be to do it before you put the feet on. Other than that, our daughter loves it and enjoys being involved in the kitchen.
I am a preschool teacher and purchased these to add to our discovery table. The children enjoy placing them on the light table also. They seem very sturdy. We have only used them for a few weeks but so far all is well.
My daughter has toddler twin boys that like to help in the kitchen, whether it's food prep or washing dishes (mostly playing in the sink. They have a bar height dining table and chairs, so pulling chairs over to the sink for the boys to stand on was not an option. This double stool is great! Both boys fit and it keeps them safe from falling when the elbowing starts over wanting the same container. Smooth finish, no splinters and very sturdy.
This is a great art station for our 4 year old. She plays on it constantly!
My grandson finds it easy to utilize
This was perfect for my 6 year old daughter. She absolutely loves it! Perfect size and she see herself in the mirrors. There’s a protective covering on the mirrors so you’ll need to remove each mirror by unscrewing the screws on the back to remove the protective covering.
These are just what I was hoping for! Beautiful! Still deciding on whether or not to give them a water proof finish, they are completely natural. Very pleased!
