While this nativity is cute, it was listed as a Wooden Nesting Set, which while I guess correctly it nests in the manger they are not true nesting dolls. If nesting dolls are what you are looking for these are not nesting dolls.

I guess by "nesting" they mean the figures nest in the box painted to look like a stable, not in each other. I expected the dolls to fit into each other. The stable only has an opening on the bottom, so the figures cannot be displayed in it, only stored in it. Also, the figures are really weird. The sheep looks more like a ghost; Joseph (or maybe it's a shepherd) has a lions' mane and a pig's or cat's face and is rather scary. I thought there were 4 kings, but on closer inspection, one appears to be carrying a drum - the little drummer boy? The little drummer but no angel!

When i bought this and opened it up I was very dissappointed. My first thought was "I bet this paint has lead in it" and I would not feel good letting my children touch it. Bad wood and cheaply made. Save your money.

Poor quality! Had an oriental trading company sticker on the beat up tiny box it came in...lol. Buyer Beware on this item for sure! Save your $$$ !

We received no Mary or Joseph, but a lion was tossed into the mix. Like others, I, too, thought this was 'nesting' in the true sense - as in nesting dolls. Yeah, pretty cheap.

Although it was cute, I was disappointed as I was expecting the dolls to actually nest and to not come from Oriental Trading Co. Very small for what I was anticipating.
