1.0 out of 5 stars Total Junk! Sent it back for a refund..., August 13, 2007

This review is from: Sesame Street Wood Activity Cube (Toy)

I read the reviews, and thought I would be able to just glue the stickers on like some others mentioned, WRONG, many stickers were missing before I even opened the box, many were stuck inside of the Amazon box, the rest gone before it was even shipped to me.
I also thought I would just screw the top down since others mentioned it comes off very easily, WRONG, the wood is so thin, there is nothing to screw into without damaging it, younger kids will constantly remove it or fall when holding onto it.
Most of the wood is very cheap/thin (only a few mm thick), and one side had a router mark/cut all the way across it.
The musical mallet/hammer piece is on a very short rope, it barely reaches anything (or moves), it could be much longer and still be safe.
The sliding (abacus like) toys can barely move, and cannot spin, so they are basically useless.
The whole thing is under 2 feet tall if I remember correctly, I believe the cube was around 1 foot tall/wide on all sides, not very big at all.
I really wanted to make this toy work, my kids enjoyed it (for one day), but it is cheap and unsafe; I cannot support companies who get rich providing unsafe toys for huge profits to impress shareholders.
This item should be removed from Amazon at the very least, and really needs to be recalled; do not be fooled by the low price and pretty pictures, it's a cheap USA knock off, nothing but junk, made by the slaves of china to be sold at the USA Super Center, to people who want more disposable crap for less money.
Search "Anatex" on Amazon or check out "http://www.anatex.com/about/index.asp", they are made in the USA (like ones at doctors offices) and will not fall apart.
And my comment is nothing against china, I do not blame them for wanting jobs taken from Americans, I blame the companies who replaced quality goods for junk, for bigger profits; I personally do not like selling out my own country, freedom, and way of living, only to receive pretty junk.

1.0 out of 5 stars STICKERS....REALLY???, December 14, 2006

I also wish that I would have read the reviews before purchasing this toy. I plan to return it immediately. Not only are the character stickers disappointing from a quality standpoint (some of my stickers were upside down or completely missing) but they are dangerous from a safety standpoint. I also thought the activity cube would have been a little larger. This toy is the worst $50 I have ever spent - I usually do not write reviews, but felt compelled to share my disappointment with fellow unsuspecting buyers.

4.0 out of 5 stars My little Girl Loved it!, February 16, 2007

My daughter loved this toy! She is 15 months and it kept her busy for a long time. She loved to climb in the box part. What is better for little ones then a toy and a box all in one.

My only complaint was there were cute stickers all over it which came off easy. I was worried that she would put them in her mouth...would be a perfect toy with out the stickers.
