## Description

Review: Four Stars - Looks great, unopened as for Christmas
Review: Fun but flimsy and dangerous, not all screw threads work well - Received as a Christmas gift. Fun to play with but not all screw threads worked together, or with our previous M&D screw threads. Wooden bars are flimsy softwood. The first one has broken already whilst being played with, and created two sharp spikes that could easily be fallen upon by playing children.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this building set compatible with the wood tool work bench? Would screws etc fit in the holes already drilled in work table/bench?**
A: Hi! Since our various construction sets were designed by different people, at different times, and made in different places, they are not compatible. We are working to have them coordinate and hope they will in the future. I hope you enjoy hours of constructive fun with Melissa & Doug!

**Q: Is this set compatible with the set that comes with the work bench?**
A: I have this set and the small tool box and all of the parts are interchangeable. Not sure if that helps answer about the work bench.

**Q: Do the cubes actually have threads so the kiddo actually has to screw them in rather than just a hole they can push them through?**
A: Yes they are threaded so you have to screw them together... great addition to the tool box set

**Q: How small are the smallest pieces? I am wondering if it would be okay for an 18 month old.**
A: The pieces are prettying big, but suggested age on the product itself is 4+. The connector pieces (the plain wood pieces with the three or four holes in each) would probably be the most possible choking hazards - they look like thick tongue depressors with holes in them - probably pretty easy to choke on them if put in the mouth.

The product was perfect but it was from my three and four year old granddaughters and it was a little too hard for them.
