"Santa Claus" brought this item for our 2 boys on Christmas Eve, and within' 2 min. of them opening it, the drill press was broken. The table saw was soon to follow. We have tried to email the manufacturer, but have received no reply. We then tried to call the service number, and have yet to get through. I highly discorage anyone from buying this item for their kids, as much as we liked the concept, and the kids love the idea of having their own workbench, it's just no worth it!

These toys are great fun for our son, but I wouldn't pay what the sellers on Amazon are asking. Some of the toys are built cheap, so he has already broken some of them, however, we bought the toys at Wal-Mart for less than half the price (you can get them at Lowes and Home Depot too). We saw this workbench at Wal-Mart last night for $55.
UPDATE: We bought this tool bench for our son (3 years) for Christmas. It was by far the favorite present for Christmas...even over the Black and Decker toy leaf blower. The tools are a little more sturdier than the ones that were included in the backpack toy. The drill press and table saw are battery powered and are great! The birdhouse has "wooden" pop-outs where the screws go, making it look like one solid piece of wood, then when you put it under the drill press, you pop it out, making your child think they drilled a hole in the wood. Clever! Also, the holes in the bench are spaced farther apart, so the screws and nails don't overlap like the wood pieces included in the backpack. Overall, a great toy! Our nine-month old son loves it too (minus the choking hazards).

Bought this for my 2 1/2 year old son last Christmas for [...] -can't believe sellers are trying to get well over [...] for it now. It's well worth the $60, not worth the [...]. My son loves this & all the tools he got from Santa. Design is good, but could be a bit more rigid. My son would put the included birdhouse together every day -often many times during the day. (Dad would like to see more projects to build -pretty bored with the birdhouse!) Now, 4 months into it, 1 hole on the birdhouse finally got stripped out. (Dad now wishes we had the birdhouse again -nothing left to build.) Would definitely buy this again for additional tools & accessories (& a new birdhouse), except the inflated price tag is a big holdup.
