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.

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.

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.

I recently bought this toy for my 1 year old triplets. They love it. It is a great toy conceptually, but there is a major quality/safety problem. All of those characters that you see in the picture are stickers, instead of painted on. They are stickers like you would find at a dollar store. Not special, extra sticky stickers, just plain, cheap stickers. In a word, cheap. My little boy played with this toy for 10 mins before I found a sticker on the couch. These stickers are just the right size for blocking the windpipe of the child for whom this product claims to be appropriate. I had considered trying to glue the stickers or find a way to make them permanent, but there is no way to do that without making the toy toxic to teethers. I am very disappointed in this product. I should have just bought the parents brand one at Target. It's not as neat, but at least they could play with it. Now I have a $50 toy that my kids can't play with. **Find something else**

I got this for my son's first birthday. It is so cute but the characters are not painted on! They are all stickers! It came with one of the Ernie stickers missing on one side of a piece and they fall off pretty easily. I am going to end up glueing them on so that they don't keep falling off and get eaten by my son or my dog. When you turn the top around there is no way to secure it so that you can pick up the whole thing. You end up having to pick it up in 2 pieces.
It is adorable and my son loves it, I will just feel better about it when I get the stickers secured!!

I bought this toy for my 9 month old daughter. Little did I know that all the pieces that move are decorated with Sesame Street stickers and not painted. As a result the second we opened the box, the stickers started falling off. Every time my daughter plays with it, more fall off and then she puts them in her mouth!
Also, the top is made to come off for easy storage. Yes, this makes it easy to store, but the top never stays on! My daughter will sometimes grab the top while she's off-balance and the whole top comes off and she falls.
I was very disappointed with this product.

I actually bought this for my son that is 6 months old but my 3 year old daughter plays with it a whole lot more then him i know he is a little young for it now but i was really surprise this gets her attention and plays with it for hours. My newphew and niece also love it and they are 1 and 2 1/2 yrs. I did have to glue gun the stickers on so they don't fall off because i did loose 2 of them already and had it for only a week. But for the time and enjoyment my daughter gets out of it it is worth the price and little trouble i had to go through with the stickers.

The Sesame Street wood activity cube is very cute, but I am disappointed by the quality. I had not read the other review prior to purchasing, so I too thought that the images were painted not stickers. The stickers do not adhere properly to the wood. At this price, I had expected higher quality.

I really like the toy and there are five really neat activities, but the pictures on it are all falling off some were off before it was ever even opened. Not only could my son choke on those little stickers but I think I paid too much for it to be falling apart. It is smaller than I thought it would be but that is ok its big enough for a one year old. but something really needs to be done about those little stickers. I wouldnt buy it again

my two year old and my three year old love playing with this, the only annoying thing is, practically all the stickers peeled off of the wood blocks....
