Amazon.com Hands-On Review

Children three years and older will delight in swinging a hammer or driving a screw on Melissa & Doug's Wooden Project Workbench. This solid pine bench is sturdy enough for kids to use as a real workstation for hobbies and crafts. Included with this workbench are instructions for projects that you and your child can build together. Practical and fun, the Wooden Project Workbench will provide years of utilitarian entertainment for your little carpenter.

Wooden Project Workbench Ages: 3 years and up Requires: Philips or standard screwdriver What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: Educational factor: Novelty factor: The Good: Great workbench for kids who love to build The Challenging: Dozens of pieces require parental help to assemble In a Nutshell: A real kid's workbench with high-quality, durable construction

The 20-inch height is ideal for little builders. View larger.

Just Like the Grown-Up Version
The workbench looks like a miniature version of the one you might already have in your garage or basement workshop. At 20 inches in height, the flat, sturdy, spacious bench is designed for kids to comfortably stand and work.

A storage tray across the bottom holds projects in place. A hammer, saw, sawing board, wrench, screwdriver, vise, and assorted hardware for building are included, so kids can imitate their parents and develop important problem solving skills.

Ideal for Parent-Child Projects
The Wooden Project Workbench includes blueprints for a robot and an assortment of vehicles, so you and your little carpenter can learn to build together. While the bench, tools, and hardware are suitable for kids, the plans for the additional projects will require parental assistance to complete.

Pre-Sanded, Pre-Drilled, Easy-to-Assemble Pieces
The Wooden Project Workbench features pre-sanded and pre-drilled components with rounded corners. When fully assembled, it will provide a sturdy, safe workbench that will last for years.

While the instructions are easy to follow and all the hardware you need is included, the bench will take a commitment by Mom or Dad to assemble. This bench is designed for years of use, so you'll need to budget a few hours for assembly before letting your child swing away.

This review is from: Melissa & Doug Wooden Project Workbench (Toy)

This is of the same excellent quality we have come to expect from Melissa & Doug toys. 100% all wood construction, very sturdy and hopelessly fun! This mom was able to assemble it all by herself in 45 minutes and handy she is not. My son loves this work bench and I love that there is no noise, batteries, or electronic doo-dads, just pure old-fashioned imaginative fun. I did give it 5 stars but my only complaint is I wish this toy was made in the U.S.A. For the price paid it seems the company should be able to employ American workers and I would gladly pay more for them to do so.

A great toy for kids! The assembly was a bit difficult in spite of the fact that all the pieces were labeled. But the finished product was great! It is durable, and we loved the realistic looking tools, all of which were usable with the nuts, bolts and screws that came with it. My 3 year old grandson loved it and it was a good interactive toy to play with Dad and Grandpa, building things. We liked the instruction/idea book that accompanied the workbench. All in all a very cute and fun toy.

I got this for my almost 2 year old son for Christmas and he loves it! He loves to "fix" his toys in his vice and with the screwdriver. He keeps it very organized with the extra pieces in the tray underneath. Very good purchase and it's not plastic!
