Deluxe Workshop

I bought this for my 2 year old son. He has not stopped playing with it since I put it together a few hours ago.Assembly is simple. It would have been simpler if I wasn't one of those stupid girls that doesn't know how to use power tools. Took about 45 minutes, putting it together by myself without a drill. My 2 year old climbing over me and the parts trying to use his "tools" slowed down the process as well. :) There are few if any pre drilled holes in the parts. The screws that come with it go easily through the plastic without pre drilled holes. Might have been purposely done that way to prevent stripping the plastic? Not sure.The bench itself is great with a drawer under the main part of the tabletop, a large cubby for the "wood", a cabinet with a cubby underneath and above. The plastic jars for the screws slide into grooves, pegs attach on the back wall to hang tools and there is a working light above the work bench. The vise grip isn't great and it frustrates my son because it doesn't tighten very well on the "wood" but I think that will be fine once he gets a little older. The bench is sturdy and I think will last a long time.The vacuum while a cute touch is just a nuisance. It falls off and my son has pretty much ignored it.The tools that come with the bench are awesome. It includes a hammer, screwdriver, drill with 2 bits that work, wrench, pliers and a saw that makes a sawing sound when it is used on the fake wood. The wood pieces are foam, puzzle like pieces that have a wood grain. You can put the screws through them with the drill and cut them with the saw. My son has loved that the most.The light above the bench uses 3 AAA batteries and the drill needs 2 AA batteries. I had the AA on hand but had to pillage through my remotes to find some AAA's. Rookie mistake- you would think I didn't have another kid and go through all of this before, granted it was 12 years ago but whatever!It was worth paying the extra money for a quality toy that I think my son will enjoy for a long time.

My 18 mos. old boy loves tools! He goes crazy every time his dad gets tools out to work on a project. For Christmas we bought him this workbench and he loves it! We didn't even exist for the first several hours after we set it up. I am so glad we got it. He plays with it every day and goes around the house pretending to drill things or unscrew things. We have not yet opened the projects that come with it because I thought he might be too young for those. However, he has already learned how to switch the drill bits and knows how to drill the bolts into the workbench so we may go ahead and let him work on the projects that came along with it. I would definitely recommend this workbench to anyone who is considering it. The only drawback is that the shop vac does not make noise, but we knew that before we purchased it. It came with a hammer, screwdriver, drill, wrench, plyers, saw, and bolts. My little boy also loves the light above the workbench that lights up. It has great compartments for storage as well. He has other little tools he's gotten previously and we are able to store them all in the workbench.

Love It! My Sons [ages 5 &3-1/2] have totally loved this over the past year of owning it.Every thing is made very well and sturdy. Totally! When I say My Little Guys are tuff on things, TRUST ME They are! The trickest part I remember was putting the drawer area together right. But I did it! [ and i didn't have full 100% function without pain of my right side when putting it togehter]. So If i can do it you can do it! It is easy. Directions were very good which helped.The Boys have had hours and hours of play with every thing it comes with. over the past year. Great for imagination play and getting their minds working. I thought them having their own work bench area would help them stay out of my tool box. It didn't totally but there were less moments of them seeking out my tool box. Plus when there was tool I needed that was missing I knew exactly where to find it :0)Totally worth every Penny and I can totally see this lasting from more years to come where after they grow out of it, I can pass it along to another family or some where in need for a workshop for some youngsters <3

There is no holes to were it’s supposed to have the skrew out in, the instructions are not easy to read unless you just like going off half picture instructions. Looks good once it’s put together but horrible instructions!!!

OMG such a great product , my so was so excited to get this as one of his gifts from Santa quality is great and do was the price. Easy to put together.

First off, the quality of the product is very good. It is sturdy and solid and my little guy likes it fine. The other reviews cover the good points very well so i will jump to my issues.1. I did not get any stickers with the kit. If you look at the photos there are many cosmetic stickers that give it the feel of a real work bench. I do not know if they do not come with them as I do not see them listed in the instruction manual but the photo on the box and the photos I see all have the stickers and ours does not--its just smooth plastic.2. The over head light interior house came broken. Not a big deal-the light still works and I ended up super gluing the broken pieces back together.Overall I would recommend this product but I feel a little short changed in not receiving what the photos showed. My little guy does not notice a thing and plays with it all the same.Update: There were 2 sections of instructions and I now see there is a b/w photo of the stickers that were supposed to come with the bench. I will give another update after I call them and let them know there were no stickers included with the kit.Update #2 on 1-19-13. I am changing to 4 stars. Just received the stickers after contacting customer service. They were very helpful and friendly and I got the stickers in a few days even though she said it could be up to 10. Highly recommend now-good job Step 2!
