1.0 out of 5 stars Would be a great toy, February 26, 2002

By	Elizabeth A. Klingensmith "eaklingensmith" (Superior, CO USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This toy feel apart on us not once but three times. First the head fell off the hammer the very first time my son used it. My husband thought that they had just not glued it well enough and just got out the wood glue to fix it no soon then we gave it to my son again and one of the sides fell off. My son is a typical little boy but he is not hard on his toys and was not using this in an unusual way. He has a similar toy at the montessori school that he goes to and loves it, but this is just too frustrating for him. We will be returning this toy and complaining to the manufacturer. It has the potential of being a 4 star toy if the thing would just stay together.

4.0 out of 5 stars Never a problem in years of rough use, October 30, 2006

By	Stephanie Lenz "edenza" (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

We've had this poundy bench for about two years and through a lot of rough use, we've never had a problem with it. The holes have a rubberized ring inside that provide resistance to the pegs, which fit just fine. The wood is extremely durable (although now pockmarked by the hammer, which is a testament to the quality). The hammer has never come apart, split or otherwise been damaged.

This is the best poundy bench I saw when shopping for them in person and I'm glad I bought a durable, solid wood bench.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do NOT buy this toy..., June 11, 2002

By A Customer

Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

As soon as my daughter got two pounds into the pound-a-peg, the mallet head fell off of the mallet, and then soon after the side fell off the bench. I was going to return the [$$] toy... but... I have decided to go straight to the manufacturer. This toy is unusable, and based on the other similar review, I don't think my pound-a-peg has a fluke defect.
