It is great to see the delight in your child's face as the project is complete. However only one project can be constructed at one time so each project that is made has to be taken apart. Wish you can buy extra pieces as I would purchase more.
Pros: Easy Assembly, Entertaining, Fun, Realistic
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great work table bad screws and boards

This is such a great toy I wish the pieces to build would last longer. The threading of the screws wear off and the blocks threading wear out so we only really got to build for a week before the items built fell apart. Wondering if there’s an work table hack to repurpose it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I would wholeheartedly recommend this product

I can't tell you how impressed I am by the quality of this toy. The materials used in the workbench are excellent. I was able to put it together solo - only having to reverse the order of a couple of the instruction steps. The result was a sturdy miniature workbench I would describe as almost furniture quality! I bought this for my grandson's third birthday as he has recently shown interest in take apart toys using screwdriver, wrench and drill. I was, therefore, focused on obtaining a good bench, regardless of the peripherals. Although the gift has not yet been delivered, I don't doubt that I have achieved my objective. However, I couldn't resist putting together one of the models. I found it easy enough to put together using just finger power. I suspect utilizing the provided tools would complicate matters and I'm quite sure our soon-to-be-three-year-old would need lots of assistance to tackle the projects for some considerable time to come. Nevertheless, contrary to some reviews I have read, the parts were well made and substantial. I did not attempt to use the tools as they were tissue wrapped and I left them so - but the vice worked perfectly. Everything arrived well packaged, with parts well identified and with excellent instructions both for the adult to construct the workbench and for children to construct the projects.

Bought this for my four year old son. He loves it. Assembly was... a challenge.

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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
