Melissa & Doug Farm Wooden Cube Puzzle with Storage Tray – 6-in-1 Animal Puzzle for Toddlers and Preschoolers – 16 Wooden Cubes – Farm Toy for Kids Ages 3+ - FSC Certified

I gave this puzzle to my daughters (age 1.5 and 3.5) for Christmas. Practically the first day, the stickers started to peel here and there. It wasn't terrible, but it's obvious that over time this isn't going to hold up. I'm terribly disappointed because I wanted such a neat puzzle to last for the grandchildren. This puzzle is advertised as a wooden puzzle, which implies quality construction. It may be made of wood under the stickers, but that doesn't mean it's going to last. After purchasing the Cutting Food Box by Melissa & Doug, (which is a fabulous, durable, awesome toy) I foolishly assumed that this would be of the same great quality, probably with a painted-on finish. Or at least a layer of lamination over the stupid stickers to protect them!!! Well, it's just typical cheap "made in China" junk. I called the company to complain. The first lady I spoke to assured me that this was absolutely not supposed to happen, it must be that I just got a bad one. She told me she'd send me a new one right away. Here I am, over a month later, no new puzzle has arrived. So I called again and spoke to a gentlemen who wasn't so helpful. Apparantly, they just entered my information today, so my puzzle should ship tomorrow. I can't believe it's taking them so long to ship me a new one. But I guess, since they've already taken my money I'm not a priority anymore. To top it off, my replacement puzzle will be of the same construction, no improvements. I don't really even want it anymore, but the customer service guy "didn't know what else to tell me." Well the bottom line is, don't waste your money on this one, at least not if you're expecting something long-lasting.

the puzzle itself is exactly as described and shown in the ad image which is always a huge plus. All the blocks are sanded nice and smooth and the paint is goof quality. there are no chips, cracks or strange printing errors like smudges anywhere. All the pieces fit in nice and easy and they have a nice weight for little ones to play with. My toddler loves this puzzle and it's a really great alternative to screens when they need something engaging to play with. I would say this makes a great gift or a nice addition to your kids learning toys.

Perfect for toddler. Very well made. Animals are a great learning tool. Sturdy for a toddler and lasts many hours of fun

I purchased this as a gift for a little one about a week ago. With so many wildly different reviews, I wasn't sure exactly what I would get--a stellar product, or one that I'd want to return the next day. My opinion: the negative and positive reviewers were both partially correct. Pros: Puzzle design - 6 puzzles for the price of one - Blocks are easy for small hands to manipulate - Different colored borders help differentiate the puzzles Cons: Defects in workmanship - There are small dents in the corners of some blocks - There are bubbles/dents under some stickers - Some stickers are starting to lift - Some stickers are not perfectly aligned on the block faces Ultimately, I decided to keep the puzzle. I understand the negative reviews--it's not perfect, and you shouldn't have to use glue or tape to fix something you just purchased. For me, however, the pros outweigh the cons. My purchase price was $9.99. For six puzzles, that's about $1.67 per puzzle. I haven't seen any type of puzzle that inexpensive before. As far as the workmanship goes, I plan on taping the stickers if they continue lifting. If you're willing to do the same, I think you'll be satisfied with the Melissa & Doug Farm Cube Puzzle.

My students loved this puzzle!!!

The stickers were peeling off when opened. Cute toy overall. Wouldn't give it to young kids as they would have them all peeled off in 10 minutes.

Pretty hard puzzle for 3yo but we will get there. Blocks are heavy and good quality, i like the tray it comes in.

I was skeptical as looked like the stickers will come off soon but it has survived so far so good!

Haven’t opened it yet, but I believe my baby will love it!

Igual que en las imágenes. Pesa un poco pero es ideal.

Quality is rather terrible as compared to other products from this brand. Took out from packaging and stickers are already peeling off. I think the size of the sticker is a little too big for the block so the kid will also try peeling off the stickers too. Not sure if I want to let them play with it now. The wooden tray also chipped off.

Very good for children

Excellent puzzle, quite challenging for the 3 year old I bought it for!
