I am not too happy with this item. It has a handle, yet is heavy enough to hurt if a toddler drops it on their foot. It is difficult to reach inside to get the shapes out. And the vertical placement of the holes is difficult to use. Other than that, it is attractive looking and constructed well.

This was given to us by a friend and my son plays with it all the time. He loves to haul it around the house and put the blocks back in it. Great toy, very durable.

This is a super well-constructed toy, simple and straightforward. My son really likes it. Before he was ready to put the shapes in their individual holes, he would just dump them out and put them back in the top. His hand fits fine into the top hole. It's a little weighty, but that's not a bad thing, especially since recent studies have shown that kids who play with weighted toys have better muscle tone. I'm knocking off a star because, as a previous reviewer mentioned, the vertical slots are trickier to use than the slanted ones.

I "played" with this at a specialty toy store and was pretty disappointed with it. I thought I wanted this for my son after seeing it online but I'm so glad we got to try it at a store first. My toddler showed almost no interest in it. It looked hard to use and not at all fun. However, it looked like it was well made of good wood and with good stains/paint and finishes.

We've had more fun with a plastic food container that I cut a square shape on the lid and my son fills it up with his wooden ABC blocks. BTW, you can do the same using matchbox cars, Peek-A-Blocks, etc. Just use a different plastic food container (yogurt, sour cream, powdered drinks, etc.) for each shape.
