Melissa & Doug Food Truck Indoor Playhouse

Fantastic details, sturdy and provides hours of imaginative play. I’d probably give it 4.5 stars if I could. The quality is great and has held up after hours of toddler abuse. Would only knock off half a star because of the directions. I am very very handy and found a few of the directions confusing. I figured it out but after an hour of easy direct building, it’s a little frustrating to be held up by a shelf or two.I would suggest building this for your kids when they are out of the house. It takes at least 90 minutes (if not longer.) I love building things with the kids but this requires a bit of patience and maneuvering that’s easier without excited little ones around.Built this after our child went to bed, so he could discover it in the morning. He was beyond thrilled!!This really is a great value for the price, sturdy and provides hours of play. For anyone looking for a finished truck (don’t have to color yourself) the details are fantastic. The steering wheel turns, the gass tank opens and roof opens up. It’s roomy enough for two and light enough to move around easily (but too wide to fit through the door so build it where you plan to keep it.) Highly recommend!

Oh my gosh! My three year old loves loves loves this food truck! Yes it is just cardboard and it isn't going to last forever. But the fun he has with it is worth every penny! I really hesitated to buy it because it is just cardboard but sooooo glad I did buy it! It is sturdy colorful easy to assemble. He started playing in it before I even finished assembling it! I recommend you assemble it wherever you are going to keep it. We put it together in the basement and we can't take it upstairs unless we take some of it apart so it will, fit up the stairs

I got mine used from Amazon and it came in great condition. It was a huge pain to put together, many papercuts to be had, but the end result is great! My 1.5 year old thinks it’s a blast for a few minutes at a time! Which is all his toddler attention span can handle. Takes up a bit of space and can not be easily taken apart, so be prepared to run into it or have to squeeze around it unless you have a mansion.

We bought this for our 2.5yr old son for Christmas 2020. He loves it, as food play is one of his favorite things to do!!Another review had lights on the inside of theirs and I thought it was a good idea. This helps if he plays with it during nighttime hours and the house is dimmer.We bought the Melissa and Doug BBQ set, condiment set, and the felt sandwich set for him to “serve”. Put all of the food items in a decorative basket to keep it tidy.We also bought a little handheld kitchen set to fit in there too for a sink, oven, and additional grill.PROS:Fun little personal play areaSturdyGood size for him and to grow intoPlenty of space inside for food parts and grillCONS:A little bit of a pain to put togetherCan cause cuts from the sharp cardboard (our son got cut on his hand before we were able to put the wax on)Fairly wide; so make sure you put it together in an area that it will be permanently set or be able to maneuver it to another areaOverall, worth the price, for already hours of fun!

I purchased this to make an ice cream cart for work. I assembled it and placed it over a cart. I had to put cardboard on the bottom shelf to hold up the truck. The truck is light weight, so it didn't take much to support it. We put icecream on the shelves of the cart and pulled it out through the windows and top . We played ice cream truck music as we walked around my work, passing out ice cream. Everyone loved it and commented on how cute it was.It was easy to put together. For cardboard, it seems sturdy, but again it's cardboard. I will use it a few more times Foe work and then give it to my grandkids. It is darling. It would be cool to have it made out of plastic or wood so it could stay outside and get wet. Im sure once the grandkids play with it a few times, it will probably be torn up, but it is still worth it because it is so cute.I bought one that said it was used, but it was new, it just had a little tear in a corner, but it was less money. I am keeping the box so I can take it apart and store it easily. The box is thin and tall, so it does not take up much room.

I wanted to be able to store this item but knew from reviews that disassembly was nearly impossible without destroying it. So, challenge accepted. Here's how we MacGyver'd it for disassembly and reassembly. Tools we used: double sided velcro, sturdy packing tape, a few yardsticks.I ordered it from amazon warehouse so we don't have too much invested emotionally or monetarily because we wanted to love it. It arrived in a box with chewed corners but the contents were perfect. After laying out all the parts, we set about 'laminating' with the sturdy packing tape the places we thought would wear quickly. The back door closure, gas cap, etc.Then we began bravely removing the wings from the tabs. They now slide in and out of their respective slots with ease. The double sided velcro is what will hold it together instead. Because we could not forsee the best placement on each tab, we added the velcro as it was assembled and could see how the pieces went together. This added time to the construction of the truck, but we knew this and allotted the proper amount of time and patience.Lastly, we attached yard sticks with velcro to the pieces that had been folded for shipment but needed to stand up right for use. Now we don't have to worry about finding room for a 4' truck, and can take it apart for easy storage.We have the ice cream counter and frozen treats from M&D and after elevating it to the proper height for a 7 year old, our Ice Cream Truck was complete. Overall, great playhouse at a very reasonable price and we do love it!

I love this for my 4 year old. It was a little tricky to put together. Definitely a two-person job for sure. Great product and very sturdy and fun. I will be using this company for more gifts to come.

Bought this as a gift so haven't seen it set up yet. Bigger box then expected, but looks like there will be a happy child when they open this. Looks yo.be a great product for kids.My niece loves this, it's really big and is seems big enough for her little brother to help her make orders in the truck with her too. Awesome gift and great quality. Very happy all around.

Me encantó. La idea es buena. Es un pcoo inestable. Nosotros lo reforzamos con unos pilares de madera. Es un pcoo complicado para armar. Se nos arruinó muy pronto porque lo tuvimos en l terraza. Para mantenerlo en el interior está muy bien. Es muy lindo y de buen tamaño. A mi hija le encantó mientras duró

This was an awesome purchase for my 4 year olds ice cream theme party! We gave it to him early to play in because we just couldn’t wait once we built it. Very sturdy and high quality even though it’s made of thick cardboard. Filled with kids for hours at a time. We also bought the Melissa and Doug ice cream set to go with it. My son loved it, as well as all the kids and adults at the party!! We gave all the kids play money and they stood in line and rang the bell and we made snow cones for our son to hand out in the ice cream truck.We got it on sale on Amazon too with was a bonus. Wish I had this when I was a kid!

Love it. We get ice cream and burgers from our toddler daily. It is really sturdy. Some assembly required and it has clear instructions. Two person assembly!!! Took us about an hour or so with both of us but there were no arguments during assembly so the instructions made sense. Been up for a month now.

Great item! there are a few spots I would make stronger, but minor issues. Its pretty big!
