I'm not saying that this is a high quality piece of furniture, but for 59 bucks (on sale) it is a great deal.The good:
Very solid and sturdy compared to other cheap desks.
Nice design. Very attractive.
Does not look like a cheap desk (unless you get real close).
Very easy assembly (less than 1/2 hour).
The bad:
It's all particle board with a plastic coating.
A few glue spots and flaws in plastic finish application.

Gund Lilly Ladybug Comfy Cozy 6" Blanket
This is a very cute blanket. I just wish it would have been black (like an actual ladybug) instead of gray. It's still cute though. I know my baby will love it! The size is actually bigger than the 6" that is stated. Super soft and cuddly. Each one of my children have their own gund blanket and each one loves it very much.
Little Tikes Anchors Away Water Play Table
I think it says ages 2 or 3 and up on this thing, but my 3 year old as well as my 10 month old love it!The novelty of the toy has worn off for my daughter (3) but my baby (10 months) still loves it.
I feel for a Little Tikes toy that this toy just feels so cheaply made for the price they are asking for.The motorized fountain has a little filter screen that gets filled easily with junk and 1 time even after clearing all the stuff and making sure there was enough water I had a hard time getting it to work again.I wish the hose on the cannon was longer.Its hard to always be able to get it working if you only fill the water to the max fill line.Also the cannon easily comes off which is a little irritating.I don't know if they did this on purpose because yesterday my daughter enjoyed playing with cannon in the baby pool.It worked great in there.
My kids love it and I love it for the most part.I think i would love it more if it cost $65 or less. Buy it while you can!It took me awhile to even find one available a month ago!

I bought this water table last Easter for my kids and they loved it.They played with it for hours.In a couple months the pump went out, but I didn't keep our receipt.I called Little Tikes and as a courtesy they replaced the center mast.By the end of the summer the pump was out again.I had even asked customer service if I needed to do anything special in order for the pump to not go out and they said no.Before it started getting hot again I called to buy a replacement pump, but they stated that replacement parts are not available to purchase on this toy.I was very upset because the water pump is the whole toy and why they love it so much and for $80 I would essentially just have a box to hold water as many of the other parts are poor quality and have broken.They decided to send me another pump, but if this one goes out I am just SOL.Like many other reviews the water canon does not stay on.Please don't buy this toy.It has been a huge frustration and I hate that it probably won't last the summer even with a new pump.Read Best Reviews of Little Tikes Anchors Away Water Play Table Here
I bought this for my 2 yr. old despite some negative reviews because it looked like so much more fun than other water tables, which looked boring in comparison.I expected the cannon squirter to possibly break because others mentioned that, & it did, almost immediately.On the 2nd day, though, the pump also quit working.My husband found the batteries were water logged, so it wasn't water proof like it should have been.That was VERY disappointing.The cannon I can live with but the pump runs a major feature of the water table.I haven't called Little Tikes yet, but I guess I will.For almost one-hundred dollars, I expect better & feel like I shouldn't have to waste my time calling about parts that break right away.So be forewarned the item has some issues.Want Little Tikes Anchors Away Water Play Table Discount?
We're only on our 2nd day with the toy so I can't speak to it's durability, but my 2 and 4 year olds barely glanced up from it for the first hour. They were both totally engaged, which is hard to do! As far as assembly, be prepared to use a power screwdriver, you have to drive the screw through some plastic. Yes, the canon pops off but so far ours isn't broken, you just pop it back in place. The 2 yr old struggles with it but he can push the button and make it work. I love that the spin toys on the mast swivel independently so they can be positioned under streams of water. I can imagine it'd be a shame if the pump stopped working, but my son mostly likes to pour water into the top of the mast to watch it trickle down, so missing the pump is not the end of the world. But it is very cool! The wheels on each side of the "ship" spin to create a current for the boat, etc. which makes the kids think about direction and cause and effect. The mast comes off so you can turn it upside-down to dry. I also like that there's no sand to get mixed up, and it's something that a wide range of kids can do together without trampling the little ones. (Found it much cheaper at Toys R Us.)
NASA Moon Globe
- 12" Moon Globe
- Includes Craters, Seas, Oceans & Mountain Ranges
- Overall Height 14"
- Includes Cradel Stand
Although I gave my moon a single star, I anticipate that the company will replace it with a correctly constructed globe.That globe will indeed be worth a five star rating.The globe is beautiful and for someone who is interested in lunar observing it will serve as a handy reference.(But probably not completely replacing the laminated Sky and Telescope Field Map of the Moon)
I purchased this for use at astronomy outreach events for my astronomy club. The globe has been very helpful at showing people the features they see on the the Moon using our telescopes. It serves that role very well.
The globe seems solid and durable. The plastic stand makes it easy to demonstrate details around the globe. The globe includes very many craters, mountains, rilles and other details. There are labels for interesting locations such as the various manned and unmanned missions. It also shows the limits of the surface that is visible from Earth.
Why only 4 stars? Sometimes there are so many names that some features are obscured. Also, the dark shading of the lunar maria is not indicated on the map -the whole surface is the same shade of grey.
Overall, this is a very good product for our use.

This is a deceptively nice globe. As it sets on the shelf at a distance it appears a monotone silvery gray-green unremarkable globe.This is a free standing globe that sets on a clear plastic stand. Nice 12" size. Looks and feels like a quality globe.
This globe is meant to be picked up and held. Very detailed craters and seas/plains are marked and named. I had no idea so many famous names were used for objects on the moon. The more you look the more you see. East and west terminators are marked so you know when you've reached the "DARK SIDE" Luke.
This has become a favorite here at the house. This is not a flash in the pan gift and might be ignored at first but if picked up, it will spark the imagination. A gift that gets better over time.

Unfortunately, the globe we received had the same map printed on both the Northern and Southern hemispheres. We expected a globe of the moon to have two distinct hemispheres, not the same one flipped and repeated.Loved the moon globe...would make a wonderful gift to anyone intestered in studying the heavens...the moon phases in particular are so vivid with the globe...get out your telescope ( or not) and see what the heavens have to offer.Then check out the computer to see what NASA has to offer the student.NASA Moon GlobeLeave this on table top or desk for frequent checks!!
Lego Compatible Heavy Duty Table-32"x32"-MADE IN THE USA!! Preassembled-Solid Hardwood Legs and Sid
Very sturdy the grandkids have spent many hours playing with this table.
It allows them to stand and gives their building projects a solid foundation.WE were thoroughly pleased with the sturdiness of the Lego table!Built to last many years. He thought it was "awesome".My 18 month old grandson loved this present.It is so sturdy that he can climb up on it and work the legos from his perch.He loves the pockets filled with lego pieces.He puts the pieces in and throws them out again. Contrary to the notes here, the table accomodates duplo pieces as well.And, the bright colors seem to attract his attention for hours on end. My son is having a wonderful time making age appropriate lego creations (whales, dragons and the like), and my grandson is enjoying having the toys right at his height.Great choice for a gift that will last a long time.perfect on all counts... would buy again...thanks for making our son so happy....keep up the great work...happy holidays!and a great new year!
Disney Princess Ariel Little Mermaid Magical Talking Salon & Vanity
With all these things considered I would still purchase it again. My daughter could care less about all the minor annoyances, she just loves it! I guess that is what matters in this case.This was number one on a short list of Christmas gifts my daughter produced for Santa.She loves it and plays with it everyday.The construction is okay, the chair is a little flimsy.The interactive feature is cool but if there is a lot of background noise Ariel doesn't always hear you correctly.
Overall it was a big hit with my kid!

I'll keep it short and sweet.Right out of the box, the wiring harness was not connected.The clip on the wires was not attached so we couldn't connect the mirror wires to the table wires.We tried to manually wire it and it still didn't work.It's an expensive piece of junk.I would recommend buying a plain vanity without useless electronics.

My 4 year old was dying to have this for Christmas.Her grandfather got it for her and she was estatic!She loves the toy but was very disappointed when she realized it is not Ariel's voice.Its got the Disney name all over it so you would think they would've taken the time to at least find somebody who's voice resembles Ariel!Other than that, she likes it, although she has a hard time getting it to understand her even though she speaks better than most adults!It can be quite annoying to adults because it says the same things over and over and over!

My twins love this seat much better than the bumbo seat with a tray.They like the toys and there is a empty area for them to put their own toys.They sit in it much longer than the bumbo.Highly recommend.I got the summer infant super seat and I found it dangerous for my little daughter. There is a gap b/w the tray and the seat which is big enough for baby's little fingers. My daughter had her hands around the seat and as I was turning the tray her little fingers were getting caught it b/w the tray and the seat. I called their customer service line and they were not very helpful. After going back and forth they finally offered me a refund. I would not recommend this product and I think it should not be sold.South Shore Willow Collection Dresser Hutch, Sumptous Cherry

ORE International Kids' Primary-Color Drawing Board Easel
Buy ORE International Kids' Primary-Color Drawing Board Easel Now
When together, this board is sturdy, functional and looks fantastic.My 5 year old girl got this for Christmas and uses it on a daily, if not hourly, basis.It is standing height for her and the white board and chalk board (black painted surface) work perfectly.I'll have to admit that the construction was a little hap-hazard for tolerances and alignment, but with a little thought and effort, it comes together and is quite sturdy.
It's the best looking easel on the market for kids... just needs a little quality improvement when it comes to assembly.
I'd give it 5 stars if the assembly issues and instructions were worked out, but if I ever need another one, I'd buy this one again.

I ordered this product when it was on sale for $50 thinking I was getting a deal from the regular price of over $100, but I was very disappointed when the easel arrive. The legs were scratched all over including one leg being cracked. In addition to that, the product is very cheaply made. The writing inserts were flimsy and the holder for markers was dirty and chipped. Certainly not worth the $50 I paid and certainly not worth the $100+ regular price. I will be returning it and looking for something different.Want ORE International Kids' Primary-Color Drawing Board Easel Discount?
My feelings are mixed on this product. It arrived very quickly, however, I was a bit disappointed in the quality. One of the yellow boards that holds the tray together was split on both ends, which prevented us from being able to attach it to the other boards with the provided screws... so we had to end up using wood glue. One of the pencil posts also had a rather large crack running down the side. The chalkboard is not at all what I expected in terms of material. It does NOT feel like a chalkboard, it's almost like paint. Aside from those issues, the product is super cute, and very sturdy once put together. If my little sister weren't so hard on things, I probably would have returned this product for a more expensive, better quality easel. Overall, it is an "ok" purchase.Billiards In A Box
I needed this a prop for a talk to a group. It fit in my hand. It was three times smaller then I imagined, too small for Barbie and perfect for GI Joe.This is really cute, but it fits on the palm of your hand, so imagine that if you want something to
play on.The table is too small for playing. The balls fill half of the table, so they really don't go anywhere.I gave it a high rating because of the looks, the balls have numbers and the
table has felt.This is really just for looks. Very cute and my 9 yr old loves it and uses it for her Amer. Girl doll.

I played this game as a kid and was so excited to see it re-introduced!This game can be VERY addicting.It does require some skill to shoot the ball just right and there are tons of laughs to go around when the ball doesn't roll where you want it to.Great game to play with the kids or other adults great way to play a lively interactive game that provides opportunity for real interaction with your opponent.

I bought this game because the original one which I have owned for 40 years is finally showing some wear. As a school psychologist, I use this toy frequently when working with children. I was so excited when the product arrived at my home, that I opened it immediately and put it together. My 15 year old son and I began to play. He thought is was a "cool" game. Out of approximately 100 shots, only 3 made it into the basket. Many of the shots just went straight up and down. I was extremely disappointed in the cheap plastic levers and baskets! This game is unplayable. My son agreed. Also, in order to store the game away, you would have to take it apart. In the original game, the metal baskets fold, and the levers easily fit inside the box. After 20 minutes of play, I took the game apart, put all the pieces back in the bag, and closed the box. I then placed it in the carton in which it arrived. I went on line to Amazon and requested a return authorization. I placed the return authorization in the carton, taped the box closed, and placed the UPS return label on the carton. I immediately drove to the UPS store to return this terrible game. If you remember the original and enjoyed playing it for hours either by yourself or with friends, do not purchase this product! If you have never played this before, don't even consider buying it!

I was sorely disappointed when I got the newer model with the plastic levers rather than the old steel ones.Can't hit a shot for nothing and I used to be the all-time leading scorer.It ruined what was going to be a great Christmas morning with my children.Now it has sat all year unused.What a waste.Sooooo Disapointed!
Sorry Spin
1) Assembly is required. No tool are needed but you do have to align the cogs so they spin properly and make sure all tabs are clicked in place, or the spinning function will not work smoothly. It took me a total of 5 minutes to assemble the spinning board. I did have to take out a couple of the home zone parts and re-attach so the cogs aligned properly. I think if you get it right the first time and do it when your children are not around trying to "help", then it should easily be done in a couple minutes.
2) The play instructions are easy to understand and follow. There are colored pictures to aid in visualizing the explanation of the rules. The game is rated for Ages 6+ and that seems right on the mark where my kids were concerned. My 6 1/2 year old was able to sit and follow the structure of the game whereas my 3 yr old wanted to randomly move the pawns and spin the board like it was a merry-go-round.
Both kids did lose interest after about 15 minutes, as did I. I would recommend this game to play when you need to fill a short period of time or along with other games when playing for longer.
()I've always loved the original Sorry. This new Spin version can be just as much fun, but the magic is clouded by the flimsy plastic contraption feel of the game. The need for it to be assembled can dissuade the traditional board gamer from taking the time to set it up not that it's difficult, but simply that it is an additional step which needs to be done.
It plays remarkably similar to original Sorry. With its simple, unpredictable card-based game play and its quick turnaround action, Sorry Spin can be great fun, but it is hardly a replacement to its predecessor. I prefer the sensation of thumping pawns along on a durable one-piece classic board over the airy feel of a hollow plastic system of cogs.
It's a little bit different. It's fun. I just prefer the original.
()Everyone in my family loves board games.
Whether you'll like this game mainly depends on whether you like the original Sorry.In my opinion, the game (both original Sorry and Sorry Spin) is too simple for adults, but perfect for young children.Although there are a couple of new elements, this game plays very similarly to the original.The game pieces are pretty, and the I really like the spinning gears that comprise the board.One aspect I find valuable is that you can let someone else win, and you have some control over how long the game will last.If you've played with young kids, you understand the value of these attributes.
It's flexible enough in how you divide your moves, on certain cards, that you do have an element of strategy, but this game is mostly one of luck.I think it would be a great aid to a child learning how to count, or working on subtraction skills.
The board does not fit back into the box, once assembled, so I simply never put it back in there.Nothing on the board broke... but I just don't think it will last if I keep snapping it together and apart.I got a medium pizza box (clean and unused) and it solved the problem.Having something more than a piece of cardboard to play on really helps keep kids interested.
To sum it up: if you really like Sorry, consider buying this game.If you're looking for something as complex as holographic nuclear laser chess, this isn't what you're looking for.

My girls have the original of this at their grandmas and were always raving about it, so when i found this I was delighted and bought it as a stocking filler for xmas. After reading the comments about problems fixing it together and bad durability, I was a little concerned, but need'nt have been. The product doesnt take long to set up and isnt difficult despite reviews that say the opposite. Its a great 'spin' (pardon the pun!) on the original game and we all enjoy playing it very much.My 8 year old son received this for Christmas when he first opened it I thought "oh-no its cheesy" but in reality it works really well.The game is a blast and we as a family play it all the time. It is constructed well and not at all "cheesy" like I thought upon seeing it.It puts together with ease, and after reading the directions twice we were able to play it.It puts away nicely too. Great purchase, we all love it, the game does truly change all the time.

Beck Children's Wooden Table with Two Chairs
However, my first thought was a concern for any child's safety who sits in it.These are not the most stable table out there, but you get what you pay for.While putting these together I've added some additional supports to make sure they don't topple over and hurt a kid.I would advise you to do the same.One of the tables wouldn't even come together properly without two trips to Home Depot for some extra support.
Kids love this, but be aware of its quality.I'm surprised products like this are sold in the condition they come in.
Amazon,I liked the style/colors/size of the Children's Wooden Table with Two Chairs.However, the shipping & handling was not up to satisfaction, the box containing the Table/chairs was damaged.The Table has 2 side wooden boards that connect the legs, with a split in it (I fixed it the best I could.
Secondly, the hex head/top (10x21/2") on the screws stripped easily.I went out and purchased phillips'head screws and used them, worked better.The wooden pegs that connected the backs of the chairs to the upper chair frame, one was broke off.I drilled a hole & screw hole insert (drexel tool), that worked.
That's why I rated it 3 stars.For when I had it all together with my additional repairs/screws, it was pretty solid.
