(More customer reviews)This set includes lots of fun pieces but overall I am disappointed with the cheap plastic used and size and fragility of the accessories.
I received this today and noticed that the box boasts "65 pieces!". I soon realized they didn't mean 65 cows, pigs, and hay bales. They mean 65 pieces of cheap, made in China plastic to break off a bracket and assemble. The animals are very small, but the cowboys are so tiny that my 5 year old gets frustrated trying to stand them up without knocking over something else she's set up in barnyard. The people are literally the size of a Tylenol caplet.
The instructions say to "complete" the look, you can buy model glue and paint and set this up as a permanent display. That's obviously what it was designed to be, not a toy.
I like that they included things like a plow and wheelbarrow. (Although the wheelbarrow is maybe the size of an M&M). I like that the front barn doors slide, although they are fragile. The removable roof is pretty cool, but again everything is so tiny there is no way a kid could set up the animals in there without feeling clumsy and getting frustrated.
I am going to pack this up and give it to my nephew who is 9. I will be ordering the Melissa and Doug fold and go barn next time. Too bad, with the 5 star review and the reasonable price tag, I really wanted this one to be a good deal!
