 Adorable, fun, durable and did I mention aoorable? :-) November 22, 2008
Ainsley's Mommy (Ohio)
I ordered this from Amazon a year ago for a great price with the FREE super saver shipping, and it has gotten a lot of play. My now 2 1/2 year old daughter and her little friends all love to play kitchen and whip up some fun with this food. (I know the recommended age is 3 and up but in my opinion this is really fine for a 2 year old, maybe just watch the egg if they put things in their mouth still) I would definitely buy this again. Another great Melissa and Doug product!
 Great Set! November 19, 2008

My son loves this set. The only downfall is that the orange is just a painted ball and has been permanently taken away due to throwing. The same is about to happen with the lemon, egg and tomato. So, if you have a thrower in your house, beware! They are solid pieces and hurt! Other than that, love it! My son loves to make burgers and hot dogs (no bun with the hot dog though). He also loves to go to the "store" and "buy" milk and bananas. Love the set, and the crates the food comes in!
 not as much fun as other Melissa & Doug products November 15, 2008
Mother of 7 book lovers (alaska)
This doesn't compare to the birthday cake or pizza for fun. For fruit & vegs play food I would suggest the velcro cutting food instead. Way more interesting.
Very nice September 25, 2008

I wanted good wooden pretend food (hate plastic toys) and I wanted a nice starter selection for a good price without having to buy, say, a separate veggie or fruit set. This is a basic food groups set so you get (4) little wooden crates filled with meats, veggies-n-fruits, dairy, and grains.
That said, after receiving the product, I can confirm that buying separate sets would have yielded superior pretend food, but would have quadrupled the investment. Besides, the kids love it and engage in all the rich, imaginative and independent play parents love to peripherally watch while reading the newspaper or something.
In summary,
Pros:
-All wood, nice all-in-one selection
-Kids like it a lot
Cons:
-Made in China
-All the produce is smaller than life-size -- even the egg and lemon (whereas the individual sets include many life-size items)
-Paint from some of the produce arrived scuffed onto other produce (enough to induce a mildly annoyed "come-on" but not enough to initiate a return or obsess over)
 Paint Comes Off Easily August 11, 2008
SD Mom (San Diego, CA United States)
I bought this food set thinking the wooden version would be more durable, safer, etc... than the plastic food. However, the paint chips off in large pieces every time it is dropped. I don't feel that it is safe because my son gets paint chips on his hands, could eat them, and is tempted to peel off more paint from the toys as they chip. They look great initially, but I would not recommend them.
