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.
