Great concept, poorly executed

Great concept, frustrating to actually assemble. Instructions are just a picture of how all the pieces fit together, they don't actually say what order to do things in so we kept having to unscrew things to go back and add a piece we didn't realize had to go on earlier in the process. The holes frequently did not line up. The screws were so hard to turn that my 5, 7, and 9 year olds couldn't do about half of them. Very disappointing. Finished products look good, minus the doors to the hummers…

Pros
  • Great gift
Cons
  • The kit may not come with all the necessary tools, which makes it challenging to complete the models

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Quite pleased. Fun, easy but a few mistakes.

Satisfying for my 5yo and 3yo. They're not perfect but pretty well done.Some pilot holes are not big enough. One of the hummer wheels had no countersunk hole at all.If you have a workshop (like us) these are easy fixes but if you don't have tools or extra materials it might be quite difficult to handle mistakes in the materials.Super fun. Easy directions. Probably took 45 minutes each with a little help. We also skipped the doors on the hummer.

Pros
  • Bought this for my 8 year old who loves building things. This kit was perfect, well made
Cons
  • The excavator was missing the pieces for the bucket. The others were complete.

Do not buy! - my new review

Waste of money. Of the three sets two were missing pieces and the one that had all of its parts had the holes so misaligned you couldn’t build it. Only buy it if you want some starter wood for a fire.

Pros
  • Provides an enjoyable and relaxing hobby for those interested in woodworking
Cons
  • The limited selection of models may not be varied enough to appeal to the diverse interests of all potential users

Great gift for kids who love building.

This kit is a really cute gift for kids who love to build! I gifted this to my son for his birthday and he wasted no time assembling them. He is able to play with the trucks which makes this a win, win gift!

Pros
  • Great family project for the kids here
Cons
  • The kit may not be suitable for those with limited manual dexterity, as it requires precise handling of small parts

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Ok but cheap. in my review

The hummer wasn't too bad but the parts don't always line up quite right. The bird feeder was much worse. The screws that came with it were so cheap, half of them didn't have proper points to be able to screw into the soft pine. We ended up using a small, low torque electric drill, different screws, and a lot of wood glue to make this something that might actually hold up outside for a little while. We haven't tried the construction vehicle, yet but so far not too impressed.

Pros
  • Broadens understanding of mechanics and engineering
Cons
  • The woodworking models may not be significant enough to serve as satisfying long-term projects for more advanced builders

Fun learning good for me

Got this as a Christmas present for my husband and son to work on together and it was a success! They had so much fun doing it together and now I have fun things they made for me to cherish forever!

Pros
  • Have not out together as of yes but it appears that my grandson will like it.
Cons
  • The models may be too time-consuming to build, which can be frustrating for some people

Absolute juck - my new review

Very difficult to assemble, not actually suitable for preteens not interesting to older kids. Purchased two for grandkids - absolute junk!

Pros
  • Teaches basic carpentry skills and construction principles
Cons
  • The included screws or bolts may be too easy to strip or overtighten, resulting in a weakened overall construction

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worth the money on my review.

Gift for my nephew. although he hasn’t opened it yet the item appears to be 100% worth the money spent. The only thing I didn’t particularly like was that the shipping stickers were attached to the box itself and I am unable to remove them to gift.

Pros
  • Each Project Comes in a Separate Bag with the necessary pieces in each one to avoid confusion. Comes with an Easy to Follow and Clear Step by Step Instruction Manual. Kids can build completely on their own!
Cons
  • The painting or finishing instructions may be unclear or challenging to follow, resulting in an imperfect final product

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Missing parts and holes not aligned

Frustrating as I set aside this project for an afternoon with the kids and the first pack we opened was the birdhouse and the biggest piece of it (the wooden floor) was not in the box.

Pros
  • Craft Kits
Cons
  • The excavator model may be too complicated for beginners or younger children, causing them to lose interest in the project

Adorable first time with tools

My grandkids loved this toy! It’s well made and they loved the idea that they made it themselves with papas help. They are very sturdy and well made!

Pros
  • My son loved it!
Cons
  • The carpentry models may be too challenging for kids to build without adult supervision or assistance

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect for a curious young kid.

My son is 6 and loved diving right in to build these. He started on his own and kept going. He only asked for help a few times. Fortunately he let me hang out with him and watch :-) He built and painted each one.

Pros
  • Wonderful gift for my 10 yr old!
Cons
  • Really is a piece of crap screws don’t fit breaks apart

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Waste of money in my review

The pieces were not packed correctly and the drill holes are way off for some pieces making it useless after spending a lot of time. Dont buy.

Pros
  • My 7 year old loves to build. He is going to love this for Christmas.
Cons
  • The included instructions may not be clear enough for people who have no prior experience with woodworking or carpentry

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Check your box fir parts

It has 2 excavators but no Birdhouse. A bummer when your five year old has his heart set on building both. Other than that and a few missing holes for screws it looks good. A great concept but they need to figure out how to check boxes before shipping.

Pros
  • The kids loved it
Cons
  • There is a risk of injury if the user does not follow safety precautions when using the saw or the drill

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Cheaply made for my opinion

To hard for little ones to build. Smaller pieces broke when building the excavator. Very disappointing for my grandson.

Pros
  • The average size of each completed project is approximately 9"x 5"x 5" inches. This DIY Woodworking Set Makes a Great Gift and is the Perfect Family Project!
Cons
  • The kit may not be suitable for people with allergies to sawdust or other woodworking materials

Just what we wanted!

We were excited at the idea of getting something like this for our boys! We are having a hard time waiting for Santa to deliver so that we can get started! When it arrived, my husband and I opened it up to inspect, and were very pleased with the quality.

Pros
  • Improves fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination
Cons
  • Some of the models may require specialized equipment, such as a drill press or a bandsaw, that is not included in the kit

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Don't waste your time or money

The directions are horrible, like none. The piece came broken. The screws don't fit the drilled out holes. The holes are too big.

Pros
  • Was a good product for young boys
Cons
  • Some of the screws or bolts included in the kit may be ill-fitting or challenging to work with

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Pieces were cut sloppy. Ok set.

Simple to put together. Putting the screws in is difficult for the age recommended. Pieces were cut sloppy and not precisely. A few pieces cracked. Did not include the correct type of screws.

Pros
  • Helps foster a sense of accomplishment and pride in completing a project
Cons
  • Some of the pre-cut components may be too thin or fragile, making them easy to split or break during assembly

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Wouldn't purchase again

Out of the three things we could only complete one due to missing or wrong screws, holes not lining up, and pieces of wood not being the right size. Disappointed in this gift from Santa and his elves.

Pros
  • fun to put together, great rainy day activity. One improvement would be to label pieces with stickers.
Cons
  • Several broken/ cracked pieces. Returned.

CUTE BUT POOR CONSTRUCTION

Gave this set to our 6 yo son for Christmas. The pieces do not fit together well. A couple of times we had a piece snap. We are not novices to this type of toy as we have two older kids who have loved constructing when they were little (they are in their teens now). This set isn't worth the money. The Build and Grow from Lowes are way better. Don't waste your money on this set. It has completely frustrated all of us with it's cheap construction and ill-fitting parts.

Pros
  • Provides an opportunity for bonding and teamwork between parents and children
Cons
  • The finished models may not be as sturdy or durable as expected, potentially breaking or falling apart after a short period

Do not buy for my opinion

Wrong pieces in the kits, holes don’t line up, the wheels make contact with the fenders on the hummer kit, the excavator bucket was cracked. I’m extremely disappointed with this kit my son was very excited about building it together. I strongly recommend going with another brand!

Pros
  • Gift for my son. Worked on it together.
Cons
  • None of the wood lined up. Screws wouldn’t screw in. Horrible Xmas gift
