I am a "Grandma to four " and bought two sets of these blocks for each family of grandchildren. They are solid, fun and educational--best of all no batteries needed. They greatly complement our wooden train sets. We have hours of fun building towns etc. and get our creative juices flowing.

I bought this because of the good reviews. However, this is one of the few purchases that my experience is way different than the review.
1. For $45, my 3 year old played with it for 15 minutes then moved on to old toys. The blocks in the heavy huge and to me very unnecessary wooden box is just too few and too boring. There is not much you can create with the few pieces of blocks.
2. Way over priced. $45 for 15 minutes of fun? I love most baby toys. This is the one I really have no interest at first (second and third) glance.
3. A small incidence - One block my son knocked down fell on my toe. I was in severe pain for 10 seconds. Imagine it fell on your baby's toe/finger.
If you don't care paying $45 and you buy 10 sets of these, I can imagine this is totally fun. You can build a few projects with the piece. But definitely one box gives you not much to excite about.
BTW, I have to complement the quality of the wood. Very smooth, sturdy and beautiful

I'm not a big fan of Melissa and Doug in general and think Plan Toys are generally better designed and have a nicer, clean look. Also, I know Melissa and Doug have had recalls (I think there was a stacking train with bad paint), and that a lot of their toys are manufactured in China (including said stacking train).
But I figured, hey, unit blocks are pretty simple and require little design input, they're unpainted, and Melissa and Doug have a box of 60 for $ [...] (the Plan Toys pack was smaller, more expensive and didn't come with a nice storage box) -- they can't mess this up, can they? YAY!! They didn't! They're awesome!
Also, I don't know if this will hold true for M&D unit blocks in the future, but the box I got said it was manufactured in Thailand (like Plan Toys). Double YAY!

This product was all I expected. It is excellent in quality and is perfect for little ones. The wood box it came in is such a nice bonus to keep all the blocks neatly put away when they're not in use. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a wonderful starter block set for their toddler or child.

I hardly write any reviews but this block set is simply too good. I bought one set for my boy when he turned 4. He has been creating all kinds of structures since then - from a few blocks on top of each other at first to a beautiful building with an elevator today!
I like the fact that these are just plain blocks because it enables expression without limitation. I only wish it comes with a few more shapes.
Any way, he is becoming 5 in a couple of months time. I will buy him another set then.
