The perfect gift!!
I bought this parking garage for my 19 month old son. He loves playing with it. It fits all the small cars he has. Putting the item together was not as easy as I thought. It takes a bit of manuevering some of the pieces so they fit in the holes that are pre- drilled. My advice is not to tighten all the screws until the entire garage is assembled. That will give you...

alex parking garage
I agree with the other reviews. This is very hard to put together, especially the elevator. It doesn't clear the second level ramp. I contacted the company and they are sending me a new second level and elevator. So we'll see if a new one works.

I bought this parking garage for my 19 month old son. He loves playing with it. It fits all the small cars he has. Putting the item together was not as easy as I thought. It takes a bit of manuevering some of the pieces so they fit in the holes that are pre- drilled. My advice is not to tighten all the screws until the entire garage is assembled. That will give you some wiggle room. The elevator, is by far the hardest piece to put in. It is a tight squeeze. You might also want to glue the ramps. They fall off pretty easily. Overall I am very happy with the garage. It is durable and fun to play with.

Garage, January 9, 2007
This review is from: Alex: Wooden Parking Garage (Toy)
My son likes this item. The cars also fit his train set from imaginarium. The only thing I didn't like about putting this together was the elevator. Very tight fit and doesn't like to go up or down easily. But everyone likes playing with it, from the 18 mo old to the 10 year olds.

Nice quality wooden toy, August 16, 2008
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Alex: Wooden Parking Garage (Toy)
We just gave this to my son for his 3rd birthday party. He really adores it. We did not have any of the above mentioned problems regarding fit and finish with this product. It went together easily, although my husband did get confused which poles to screw in at first, but was able to figure it out on his own. No problems with misaligned holes or screws or the elevator being too tight of a fit.
It is very cute and for the price I paid for it at my local TJ Maxx store ($[...]), I thought it was an excellent buy. My only complaint is that the car wash seems to have been missing from the box. I do not really understand how this happened, since everything was shrink wrapped (which would have made it obvious if someone has tampered with the box). So, obviously, this was something overlooked by the employees who packed the box. I will be calling ALEX CS to ask them to send me the missing car wash. Otherwise, it's a very nice toy. We are big on wooden toys in our family and my boys' match box cars and thomas/brio trains all fit perfectly on this toy. We will be putting it alongside their wooden train track as an accessory item.

Poor Fit Makes Project Assembly Difficult, January 10, 2007
This review is from: Alex: Wooden Parking Garage (Toy)
We were extremely disappointed with this toy that we bought as a Christmas present for our four year old son. The parking garage came with pre-drilled holes and needed to be assumbled. Unfortunately, due to poor quality, the pieces did not line up correctly and we needed to sand some of them down in order to make the toy functional. It would also have been helpful for the manufacturer to include one or two spare screws in case they got lost or destroyed during assembly.

Just okay, December 29, 2007
Durability: Fun: Educational:
The concept of the toy is great - my son would have loved it but the product isn't made well. One part came broken (would have caused splinters) and in 2 places, the screws and holes didn't line up at all, making it impossible to put together unless I was a carpenter. I will say the company immediately refunded my money, even after the warranty, so I would order from this company again.

Falls apart, December 9, 2009
This review is from: Alex: Wooden Parking Garage (Toy)
We've had this for two years now, and I can't tell you how many times I've had to glue various bits back on, and this is with very light play. If my son played with it more often I imagine it would be in alot worse shape. All in all it's extremely unreliable and not well made at all. I would not recommend it.

Decent product, February 17, 2009
This review is from: Alex: Wooden Parking Garage (Toy)
I wanted to buy a City Plan parking garage for my son, but my sister ordered this one for him instead. I am pleasantly surprised by this product. I had read all the reviews and was concerned about the difficulty of assembling the elevator, but it wasn't as bad as some of the reviews led me to believe. This has been my son's favorite toy ever since Christmas. He just loves it. A few things to note: He tried picking it up by the ramp and the wooden piece came unglued -- an easy fix, but something to note. Also, I have not been able to locate road extensions, so it seems that this garage is it. Plan City has road extensions, etc. I have bought the Plan City cars, etc to use with this set and they are comparable in size and compatible with the Alex set.

Do not Purchase this garage!, December 31, 2008
This review is from: Alex: Wooden Parking Garage (Toy)
This garage is the worst of worse! Very difficut to put together and it was made in China. They give you flat screw heads to fit in pointed screw holes and many more problems. Had to superglue the ramps on and then they even fell off. Very unsturdy and a piece of JUNK! Returned the item for a refund!
