[...] I am a elementary school librarian and I am looking forward to using it in the upcoming school year. I plan to tell stories using puppets. I think it will really make the books come alive for the younger students.

Great purchase for creative play. Our 3 year old loves it. Her hands are too little for the puppets we bought, but she uses it as a store front play toy. It will definitely grow with her.[...]

Service and delivery comments:
The delivery was prompt. The box was damaged in the delivery. The box had two holes in it. The shipper should have noted that. Perhaps the carton should be made of stronger cardboard. My son-in-law put it together so it would be ready for Christmas morning. The yellow side panel has a break in it. Another wood piece of the frame had slight damage. We left the day after Christmas and I think they threw out the carton after putting it together. As a follow up, I think you should review the shipper's responsibility to note the carton was damage when they left it at the house. That way it would simpilify the replacement. I think my daughter decided to not go through all the hassle to have it replaced. The shipper should be responsible for replacement. I loved the style, it was easy to assemble and it's a perfect gift to encourage creative play. Since I'm the one that purchased it, I'm sorry it arrived damaged. Thanks for asking for my thoughts.

I purchased this for my 3-year-old son for Christmas. He absolutely loves it. It is very well made. It is a bit of a pain to move (a little heavy). The two wood pieces at the bottom have to come off every time it is moved and then replaced. I was very impressed with the quality of the theater and I'm sure my son will love to play with for a long time.

Gave this to my 5 and 3 year old granddaughters. They built it (which was fun in and of itself) and used it instantly as the puppet show, post office and store. It ingendered instant play of imagination.
I like the sturdiness and colorfulness of it.

I love this product! We have fun using it with my little boy. The only thing I wish was different about it is that some of the parts simply snap on instead of being screwed on more permanently, but I guess it's meant to be taken apart easily to allow transportation. We get lots of compliments from visitors and other children who love playing with it. Great product--very beautiful and durable (provided pieces don't get lost)!
