This was purchased for my baby handyman's 1st birthday. He loves hammering the nails while our 3 year old daughter loves taking it apart and adding the accessories over-and-over again. Both kids are fascinated by the shop light, definitely the coolest accessory. They use the tools to check all the screws, knobs and hinges in our home. It is a great learning toy if you want to teach your children about tools and building.
We looked at many building toys and handyman workshops and choose this one because of the durability we've experienced with Little Tikes products. My kids are tough on toys and this toy takes a beating! Plus there are a lot of accessories you can purchase to go with the workshop. My husband is very handy with tools, he put the workshop together in 10 minutes.
It does have a few Cons: This workbench has fallen over several times. My daughter likes to climb and the workbench tips easily whenever she climbs up on it. It also tips over when bumped; it's bonked my kids a couple times while falling over. Mounting the workshop on a circular base would have made it less tippy. Also I can see the nails and screws getting lost or chewed up. Including an extra set with the instructions would have been thoughtful.
For your kids to get the ultimate enjoyment out of this toy, you will have to take the time to show them how it works and what everything does. Overall we are very pleased with our purchase and would recommend it.

We bought this for our 2 yr old grandson for Christmas. We wanted it already put together so when he opens it he can play with it. When we went to put it together there were NO instructions. That was very frustrating when we had screws and didn't know what they went to. Part of it was already put together and we just had to go by the picture on the box for the rest. Never did see where there was a spot for screws. Wished there was something on the workbench itself to interact with. He hasn't opened it yet but we think he will really enjoy it. We chose Little Tykes because of the durability of there products. All and all think was a good purchase just wished it had more things to work with.

        We bought this for our 16month old son as a Christmas gift. He really enjoys playing with the work bench and so does our 3 1/2 year old! It is a bit small, so if you want something that will grow with your child this may not be what you are looking for. It's a good buy for the money :) We did buy a seperate set of tools to go with the work bench so there was enough things that both kids had plenty to play with at the same time.

              Uncovered it as the last gift of Christmas morning. We had already assembled it (thank goodness) and could not drag our 2 year old grandson away-you could hear hammering all during breakfast. Even his 8 year old cousin was playing with it!

                        I purchased this item as a Christmas gift and was very pleased with the final item. When it was shipped, the box was totally damaged but was put in another bow..there were pieces missing-but after I called the consumer dept. they sent me the missing items...except that I asked for the "kid screws/bolts" and they sent me the adult items. A neighbor had extra pieces so I got those but I was disappointed that the correct pieces weren't sent. But the workshop itself is great and my grandsons love it!!!
