My husband was quite pleased with the quality of wood & workmanship in this. It was easy to put together. Our grandson (almost 4) loved it! We also purchased a household set of real tools (small sized)--a hammer, pliers, multi-head screwdriver set, measuring tape, level, & saw. Grandpa will supervise the real tools, and teach proper tool safety & use on real projects. For play, he'll use the wooden "tools" that come with the set.
