Step2 Tool Chest Dresser
Make sure you ask yourself this question before you buy this item.It is really cute, but it is certainly not a dresser.It is a storage unit.It is small, a really good size for a small TV stand or a bedside table (especially if you have a big Little Tikes car bed.)There are 4 cupboard type doors that open to one compartment which is separated by one shelf about midway. It does not come with any bins to better utilize the space inside, so if you want to put anything that does not stack easily you may need to buy some containers.We are using it for a bedside table and will keep books, etc inside.It is well made, but the plastic top and shelf are not extremely flat.You can literally pull it out of the box and it is fully assembled, all we had to do was to put the decal stickers on..

I just bought this tool chest for my son today. I have been thinking about getting it for about a week so I went ahead and bought it today. He really loves it. I think it is great! It is something different and really cool for little boys. I put his tv on top which fit great. I also had plenty of room inside for X box and direct tv box. Also some extra room for books and movies. I would recommend this for any little boy. I think it is great!Read Best Reviews of Step2 Tool Chest Dresser Here
We added this "dresser" to the Cars motif bedroom that my son (2 years old) absolutely loves!
Like others who have reviewed it, we found it is really not appropriate for use as a dresser, but the two storage shelves of the unit are great for a lot of his toys, books, and has also become his hiding place where he "disappears" from Mommy and Daddy, then bursts out with "Here I Am!"... a game he loves.
The unit is fully assembled in the shipping box, and only requires sticker placement.
As for durability and design, we have not seen the problems others have mentioned. The doors fit perfectly; open and close appropriately. The shelves are strong and as mentioned earlier, fully support my son's 35lbs weight, though that certainly was not intentioned by the manufacturer.
The top is also strong but is not a flat surface (Looks like wide tire tread or pickup toolbox), so placing anything that requires careful balance (like some lamps) may not be the best idea.
Overall, we are extremely pleased with the unit, and more importantly, my son LOVES it. (We are purchasing the matching toy storage box, also available on Amazon).
Highly recommended if your child is a "Cars / Lightning McQueen" fanatic like ours is!

GOGO™ 3-Star 40mm Table Tennis Balls (Price for 12 Tubes, 72 balls), Ping Pong Balls
My last GoGo order 3-star balls were fine (earlier in 2012). This order (12/2012) come in with very rough finish on the surface. It's not smooth, polished. I've handled ping pong balls for 50 years and these came out of the box very noticeably rough, almost a nap finish. Definitely not smooth and definitely rougher that ALL of the mix of white, yellow, 1-star, 3-star, and multiple brands of balls in my box of balls. Can't see picking through the ball box for each serve to find the finish of ball I want. I would expect these to spin differently and fly differently. Not even good for practice, certainly not 3-star.I went through a couple of boxes to see if it was consistent and yes. Even at this price, I may return them. But hopefully this review will help. (Back to Stiga I guess.) I'll upload a photo.
I am really happy with these ping pong balls. I just got my first ping pong table. I used to play a lot in college, and it had been a few years since I'd been into the game. I was surprised to see that most 3-star balls sell for around a dollar each. It seemed high to me, so I shopped and shopped until I found these. I was a little concerned they would not meet my standards since they are priced at half of what most 3-star balls cost, but after playing through a couple of boxes (balls tend to get "lost" in my garage), I can say that I have no complaints at all with the durability, symmetry, consistency, and liveliness of this product. It's an A++ all the way around.

Beck Children's Wooden Pencil Desk and Chair
This isn't necessarily a bad value at $35; it's cute but the craftsmanship is poor and the age description is misleading.The "desk," which is really a table with a drawer, wobbles. One of the screws that came with it (not one related to the wobbly leg issue) had a stripped head so I had to use my own. On the plus side, the pre-drilled holes all lined up.
My biggest gripe is that the manufacturer describes this desk as suitable for ages 36 months to 10 years. We'll be lucky if my average-sized five-year-old can use it for a year before either growing out of it or breaking it through normal use.I'd say it's sized for twoand three-year-olds.
I'd return it if it weren't a hassle to take it apart again and repack and ship it.
My toddler daughter likes it and the height of this table is just right for her.
I would recommend this product for anyone who is looking around for a cute and stylish wooden table for their young toddlers.

At first, I was a little bit skeptical about this product due to the one negative feedback about this product. But I decided to go with my instincts that it can't be this bad and decided to buy it anyway. To my surprise, I am very happy with this product. My daughter is almost 2 years of age and she seems to like this new desk and chair. It was also very easy to install from the packaging. The screws and pre-drilled holes all aligned properly and the fit for each piece of the furniture fitted together nicely. I also used a bit of carpenter's glue to glue the pieces together before screwing them onto each other. This way the table would be a bit more sturdier. This wasn't recommended by the instruction manual, just something I thought of.
Overall, this is a well made product for the price it's offered here.

- Additional add-on cars and accessories also available in Lionel?s The Polar Express line
Buy Lionel Polar Express Wolves and Rabbits Animal Pack Now
I am collecting the items associated with the Lionel Polar Express O Scale Train Set and thought this would make a nice addition to the collection.Unfortunately Like the Caribou Pack, they did not do their homework.The low down is as follows:1) Everyone is using an old stock image of the Wolf Pack If this pack was every really produced I don't know I know it would have been much better than what they are producing now.Please tell your marketing person to at least look at the product in the Warehouse Warehouse personnel can take a picture using their cell phones and send it for review (That's the end of my free advice).
2) As an FYI the Wolves in the movie are dark in color (Hint Hint).
3) The picture shows stands and a nice coloration of the animals from the movie.Also Shows 6 Wolves You get 3 and 5 Rabbits you get 4
4) What you get are 6 Adult Labs (thats a dog) which are light brown with no stands (the dogs have a notion to want to roll over and play dead).Shame on you Lionel or Lionel Marketing Department and also Quality Control at Warner Brothers However maybe they were designed in China by someone who never saw the movie or a Wolf. (However I do believe Wolves are on the Main Land of China and the Chinese are smarter than that!) FYI: Lionel Moved Production to China of all Trains in early 2000 Hence disconnect between Marketing and Production??).
5) I am leaving the rabbits out of it since they are just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Anyway don't buy these unless you plan on putting it away as part of a collection. Or maybe you want to buy six over priced $1.50 Cent Plastic Dogs for $26.00 and your sure your child has no idea of how the Wolves looked in the movie.If you want plastic dogs go to the Toy Store they are much cheaper!

Alex My First Desk Adjustable for "Righties" or "Lefties"
I bought this for my niece for her birthday now I need to get one for my son they fight over it constantly. It gives them a place to do their crafts and homework. It is great to bring outside on a nice day to paint, practice writing on the chlk board, or to do a worksheet for school. It is so easy to clean and it is very sturdy. They even use it to sit and watch TV. When my nefews come over they love to use it also. I have purchased two other desks for my kids in the past, this is by far the best for space and versitility.

My father bought this desk for my son's 3rd birthday last year. He eats at it, colors on it, sits at it to watch tv, etc. It gets use every single day. My now almost 2 year old daughter uses it also for the same things. They've gotten to where they BOTH want it at the same time so we're going to have to get another one. It's great b/c it easily fits almost anywhere, is very sturdy, and very attractive. We get compliments on it everytime people come over. You can't go wrong with this desk!!!!
Want Alex My First Desk Adjustable for "Righties" or "Lefties" Discount?
I had researched a lot of different desk products by Alex and decided on this one, primarily because of the other reviews I had read which rated it very highly. I'm glad that I did.My 20 month old got this for Christmas and has used it almost every day since. It is sturdy, attractive and versatile! It is also very easy to assemble.
The reasons I did not give this item 5 stars are:
1. The desk is made from pressboard/particle board no suprise, but a couple of the main pieces arrived with corners that were damaged. It didn't effect its fuctionality, however, I would have prefered, of course, if it wasn't damaged in any way.
2. The canvas bag that hangs on the back of the chair is very thin and doesn't hold much. Also, the way that it is sewn makes it difficult to get into because of the tension.
3. I sort of wish that the under-chair shelf had a back on it so that the items placed on it couldn't get pushed out the back and just end up on the floor.
Other than the above mentioned issues, we really love this desk and would recommend its purchase to any one who has a toddler!

Redline Victory 6-Feet Hockey Table
Just received my Redline Victory air hockey table and assembled it. Be warned this is a Chinese press board product put together with hot glue. All of the hot glue joints had separated. Rather than send it back I spent an hour regluing and adding screws to keep it together and beefing it up with a couple of 2X4's. It is now very sturdy although I might have to add some bracing for the legs. If you get one and don't rebuild it, do not lean on it! After I got it all together I found that one of the scoring sensors was not working. After another hour of working on it I was able to enlarge the sensor hole and get it working. This evolved disassembling the goal piece and drilling out the sensor aperture hole in the mount. So unless you have good carpentry skills and a working knowledge of electronics spend the extra money and get a quality table. It is fun to play after you rebuild it.Save 12% Off
Gund Bear "Fleming"
We got one of these bears as a gift and it is now my son's "Teddy" that he sleeps with.Can't take a nap or go to bed without it.Its held up very well for the past year and half with tons of washings to get the stink out (he bites his ears for some reason) We haven't been able to find a replacement in any stores and I'm so glad I found it on amazon!
I bought this teddy bear as a Christmas present for my 6-year-old granddaughter. She asked for a teddy bear that did not have clothes or ribbons on it. This bear is very soft and snuggable. It's the perfect size about 14 inches tall and very light. My granddaughter will love carrying this bear around with her. It is made very well as one expects from GUND products. I feel that I made a very good choice when I purchased "Fleming".
I gave this to my daughter for Christmas and she sleeps with it every night. It is very soft and hugable. Seems like a well put together bear.

Viper Vancouver Air-Powered Hockey Table
I purchased the Viper Vancouver Air Hockey table a few weeks ago and so far it's been played for over 3 hours and works great.I accidentally broke one of the parts during install and GLD (Great Lake Darts) is sending me the part free of charge. The table works as well as the ones you see at big gaming places.My kids love playing on it so far and they use a step stool right now (6 and 4) since the table is made for kids 8 and above.Table was shipped free to door which is a great deal.I highly recommend this item.
The quality of the table is what I expected. The aluminum rails aren't aluminum but a plastic strip that fits around the bottom of the "rink". The table is for my teenage (14, 17, 19) children and myself. I didn't want to spend $2000 on a quality table. So far this table has taken a beating and is still working. The playing surface is great. The walls however have lots of nicks and dents (we play hard).
So, the assembly is a pain. If you are expecting a table like you would find at an arcade, this isn't it. It is however a nice mid level table and we are happy with it.

Life-Like Spiral Speedzone NASCAR Electric Slot Car Race Set
- Fast-Trackers tune-up kit included
- Clocked at nearly 1,000 scale mph
- Two officially licensed NASCAR slot cars with stainless steel guide pins will not break
- Easy Assembly Dura-Lock Patented Side-Locking Track System stays secure
- Heavy Duty Traction magnets ensure that your racer will cling to the road
The very first piece I tried to snap together broke.The sliding lips that connect to hold the track together are cheap and flimsy and crack easily.Even being extra careful in connecting the tracks I still broke the connections of three more pieces.
An hour later, the track held together with scotch tape the boys loved it and played with it for about an hour when they came up stairs to tell me the whole thing fell apart.Almost every corner had come undone because the connection pieces broke.I tried to fix with more scotch tape but it simply wasn't worth it.Eventually this super cool track turned into a 3 ft by 1 ft oval and I don't know how long that will last either.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT AND WISH I COULD HAVE MY MONEY BACK

I found broken tracks as soon as I opened the box. Next day was Christmas so I had to fix some of the the tracks with zip tyraps to hold them together.The cars would stall in several spots. Cleaned track and it helped a little.
One of the cars in one week has bad contacts on the bottom. I cleaned them but it will not go but inches before you have to push it a little. Then it stops again in a few more inches.
This toy costs way too much for the condition in came to me in and the short amount of time it took to wear out two of the contacts.

Do not waste your money if you are considering this as gift for a child. The plastic track "breaks" too easily. I broken the first piece trying to put a rail back on. Within an hour four track piece were broken and you can't fix them. Replacement track is expensive, so i considered purchasing another entire set. I had to reconfigure my sons track (I'm glad that I purchased the long track). Shortly after that, another piece broke. In less than a week -9 broken track pieces. In a few days it will be in the trash. A real waste of $$$.
This was a very anticipated Christmas present for my son and when we began assembly it, small pieces kept snapping off and breaking. It is such a waste of money that we're putting it out for trash collection this week. So many peices broke, we ended up building a smaller track but even that fell apart, and the cars don't stay on the track.
Enesco Christmas Storytime 17" Bear Gund Fun
This bear is not what I expected it to be.It did not say in the description that it was a recordable storytime bear.When I follow the directions on the tag, the same thing comes out of the bears mputh.It recites the night before christmas but the name Jamie is repeated.The story goes so far and then it stops.I cannot put in another name like it says I can do on the tag.It is a cute bear to look at but that is it!
Many years ago, Avon sold a bear that read "The Night Before Christmas" and I bought one for all my then grandchildren.Well, we added a new grandchild and this was the bear I found and it is delightful.
