This is a very nice, sturdy, all wood workbench that is our 3yo grandson enjoys. Because of the solid construction, he'll be able to play with it for years. My only concern is that the "tools" provided (also all wood), aren't actually functional--the little screwdriver blade doesn't quite fit the screwheads, the little wrench doesn't quite fit over the nuts.

don't be fooled by the picture. what you see as the alex workbench 37 pc. with the robot and dump truck accessory,solid red sides with star shaped cutouts, is not what you will receive. click on the larger images and view the fifth picture. thats what you get. i returned one and explained that i had received the wrong my alex workbench, i ordered another one with reassurance from customer service and guess what, i was ripped off again, i got the same flimsy workbench that i sent back the first time. i wonder if they even have the one they show in the picture. i am not pleased.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, March 14, 2011

My son got this for a Christmas gift as he has always loved tools and workbench type toys. He was excited to get it and played with it a lot for the first few days.

Unfortunately the set is not well made. My first clue came when assembling it and the pre-drilled holes for one of the legs was not spaced right for both screws to go through- I had to re-drill the hole to get it through. Starting within an hour of play, I've constantly needed to re-glue the tools and bolt together- I've done every single bolt and tool handle at least once and lost count on how many times I've fixed the hammer. The second day he had it the vice broke off with a splintered end from him tightening and un-tightening-he's a kid, it not like I was torquing down on it, it shouldn't break that easily.

Workbench tools are fairly basic, and boys love them. However I cannot recommend this one as a good value based on the low quality workmanship and materials.
