The idea is wonderful but the children were not able to hammer the nails in without a lot of help. It was even so difficult for me that I just gave up on the nails. The wood glue holds it together pretty well. My son loved each item produced which are all sturdy.

This was given to my then 4 year old son, who built it together with his dad. It took a lot of direction from an adult, but it was a good bonding activity. The kit is good quality, the pieces are solid, nothing was missing. My son had a fun time painting the shelf after it was constructed. It now holds our tonie figuring collection.

My son loved that he was building real things!

My 7 year granddaughter really felt like she was creating something special

My son and daughter always want to build things like their dad, so this was the perfect way for them to start building things their size that they can really use!

My five year old twin boys each received one of these sets for Christmas. They have enjoyed working on each project. They definitely need help from mom or dad at this age, but the projects have been a lot of fun!

I was so excited about this kit for my young tool enthusiast. Unfortunately, every step requires gluing one or two pieces, and the glue has to sit clamped for 30 minutes. So it's not really a project you can sit down to work on it will take hours and hours of one tiny bit of work at a time. Because of this, it was too frustrating for my family.

Our 7 year old loves it! We/he made the toolbox the first day he received it. Clear instructions. He also received another woodworking kit from Lakeshore and used the tools from that set to build in this one. Highly recommend.

Perfect gift! Age appropriate!

Excellent wood work for the youngsters. They both loved putting the shelf and the toolbox together.

Great for my building boys! They can build usable items using real tools! these kits are good for teaching kids how to follow directions to complete a project.

Grandson loves it!! Quality of the wood outstanding. So many pieces to build with. My only regret is that Lakewood has limited selections for his age. V.
