 toy gets lots of play timeApr 27, 2010
By KP
There are two really fantastic things about this market stand: One is the reversible awning! My kids get SOOO excited about entrepreneurial ideas - so they love the Lemonade Stand idea! But they also want to sell some of the produce from the garden as a Farmer's Market using the other side of the awning. The chalkboards hanging from each bin are the other super fun feature. My kids aren't doing their math right yet, but they love to write prices and they will tally numbers and then make up a total. They are getting the concept.
As far as quality, there is something to be desired. The paint on the countertop is so thin you can see through it. The bins are also a really thin plastic - They might hold up if kids stood on them, but not if they were jumped on or anything. The pegs on the bins are also thin, and one has already broke off on the 7th day.
The assembly was time- consuming, but not too aggravating. The size seems right for toddler and preschool kids, but when the market stand is on the carpet the pile gets in the way of hanging the blackboard tags. Also note that the blackboard tags aren't really "chalkboard" -They are surfaced with a black plastic that I didn't think chalk would even write on, but in fact it has worked just fine for chalk, and cleans well too. Chalk does not come with the toy.
My husband built the most adorable kitchen for our kids, and we talked about using this idea to build a matching marketstand for the kids. After adding up the cost of purchasing bins and wood we realized our materials would cost almost as much as this stand, and we wouldn't be able to create an awning as nice. So it seemed best to purchase this stand rather than build our own. The blue color on the sides clashed with the colors on our kitchen, but we figured we could always repaint that - or build a new stand, but keep the bins and awning from this one. Overall it looks good, and is very fun. Not super quality, but to do better would cost a lot more.

Great for hours of entertainmentAug 07, 2010
By Tonya Jayston
I have 3 children aged 1, 2 and almost 7 and they all LOVE this stand. I am not sure why it is listed as a choking hazard for children under 3. My children are very rough with their toys and this has stood up the test of time- 8 months so far- with no issues what so ever. We also have the Lifestyle deluxe kitchen and a lot of the meliisa & doug wooden food products and the kids play with these items all the time. They love to play restaurant and will put on little servers aprons, take food orders, buy the food at the stand (we have a grocery cart too) and then bring it to the kitchen to "make" everyone's order while wearing their chefs hats. Very cute!

My son loves this!Dec 27, 2009
By D. Klock
This grocery store took a little bit of time to put together, but the directions were good and my husband was able to complete it himself the night before Christmas. The containers are perfect for a few pieces of fruits or vegetables, the counter is big enough for a cash register, and the height makes it easy to my son to enjoy it for a few years. It appears to be very sturdy, and it's absolutely adorable. I wish we had things like this when I was his age!

My daughter loves this. It is sturdy and well designed. It took me about 2 hours (2 people) to put it together. I would highly recommend it.

Fun & Well-builtFeb 06, 2010
By C. Dean
This is everything you would expect from Melissa & Doug. It's sturdy, attractive and fun! I bought it for my daughters, ages 1, 4 & 6 for Christmas. They love to pretend to sell lemonade and/or groceries. We've even pretended it was an open-air jewelry market. Easy to assemble too. Great choice to stir up their creativity. We plan to actually sell lemonade during the summer.
