 a MAJOR disappointment! May 24, 2008
I'm normally a big fan of Melissa and Doug products, but I can't believe I spent a single dollar on this toy. This is an assemble-it-yourself item, which is fine except...many of the holes did NOT match up (some were up to a HALF INCH off and looked as if a 3-year-old had drilled them). When I say drill, I mean that loosely, because some of the holes weren't even drilled all the way through. The showpiece of this toy is the fire truck ladder, but the ladder did NOT fit into the ladder holder...because the holes for the holder were drilled on the WRONG side of the truck! The only way to fix all the hole problems would be to take a power drill to it, but the wood is extremely soft, so you may end up shattering it. This is the worst quality control I've seen in a looooong time.
 hard to assemble May 10, 2008
I purchased this for my nephew and my father assembled it. He complained that the toy was difficult to put together due to screws not fitting well and predrilled holes not accurately cut. My nephew loves it and my sister likes the looks of it. He loves the moving parts! I would advise that you assemble it for the child before giving so they don't have to wait!
 Great confidence building toy. January 12, 2008
I thought it was time for my 4 year old to have something of his own to put together. He always wanted to help me with my tools doing things. This looked like the perfect thing and it turned out well. The parts are fairly solid and he was able to pick out the parts that go together according to (the not so clear) directions with a little help. He with his trusted screwdriver tightended all the screws and we assembled the product. While he did bore in the middle of the project we were able to continue and finish later on. The best part of the toy though is just seeing him build the confidence that he can indeed put together something and use "tools".
