Okay, so my 1 year old son was facinated with this piano. But it sounds horrible. I mean Awful. In fact, we were afraid that the sound, which is very and very and VERY off tune, will ruin his musical inclination. I dont mind the chime - but its too off tune. So we packed it up and back it goes.

This is a pretty, four-legged piano with helpful color-coded keys. We purchased it as our big "Santa" gift to my daughter for Christmas. It arrived quickly and was extremely easy to put together. My daughter, who is almost 5, was delighted when she saw it and enjoys tinkering on it. I suppose our only complaint is that it does not really sound like a piano. It is definitely a toy and sound like one. Overall, though, we're happy with our purchase.

Update....we had twin boys last year. This toy is the first thing the (now) one year-olds want to see when they wake up and run in the play room. They love banging on it and making "music" and the keys are not too loud as to drive everyone crazy. It is apparently sturdy enough to handle the delightful hammering of two small boys. We still love it!

This was absolutely wonderful for my year old nephew! I would not suggest it for children over three, as it is pretty small. The sound is not fantastic (it sounds like a child's xylophone), but isn't annoying like other models. All in all it is a great buy and a wonderful introduction to piano for toddlers.

My children loved this piano and even started reading music with a little encouragement. It felt like a grown up piano to them, which was what we were looking for. Others might be discouraged that it is a chime sound rather than more like a real piano.

I was so excited when my son received this as a birthday gift and he loves to sit and bang on it for a few minutes at a time. But when I tried to play some of the songs for him from the Songbook, I couldn't even recognize the songs half the time because the piano is so off key. Particularly the E. I was further disappointed with the songbook because it doesn't feature notes, just large color circles with the letter of the key in the middle that don't quite fit over the staff, so if you are interested in your child learning to read music, this will not be very useful. We are not planning to keep the piano, I'm just looking for a replacement (perhaps a keyboard) so that I can make the switch.

This piano is a wonderful beginning instrument for young children. There was minimal assembly, and the piano arrived quickly. It has a beautiful finish and comes with a song book and key chart. My son is only 3 so right now he enjoys just creating new "music," but as he gets older, i'm sure the color-coded key chart and music book will help him learn the notes by name. The sound quality is also good, not annoying like other similar products.

I bought this for my daughter when she was 6 months old. She is now 13 months and loves it just as much today as the day I bought it. All her friends love it!! Even the older kids can't way to play it. It is an attractive piece of furniture and fits prefectly in our formal room, play room and family room. Since my daughter is still so young I have not sat her on the bench. She stands and plays and it is the perfect height for her. Thumbs up!! Crowd Pleaser for all ages!

The piano is cute as is the picture with the little girl playing it. So cute I was duped into buying it last Christmas. As another reviewer said, the sound is horrible and one of the keys didn't work correctly on my daughter's piano. I can't bear to get rid of it because of it's cuteness, but it has only amused my now four-year-old for a few minutes at a time. I was hoping for something that would last until she matured a little further. Or maybe I should have bout this when she was two. My overall rating of three is because of (you guessed it) its cuteness.

My daughter is a couple inches short of being 3' tall. This piano is the PERFECT size for her. I believe the piano is recommended for 4 yr olds and up, but I think it will be too small for them. She loves it. It was a great buy and a great price. One of the keys doesn't work properly, but she doesn't mind. A+ Buy.

I bought this for my granddaughter's 5th birthday and she loves it. It is sturdy (both the piano & bench) and well made. The sound is not quite
as good as a regular piano but it has a pleasant sound. I am glad I bought this particular piano!
