Crack in red block of wood

Hello! We bought this for my son for his sixth birthday and he loves it. There was indeed a crack on the red wooden pole - probably because the screw went through the tree. FAO Schwartz, can you replace the red core of the loom? It is not worth returning an item and we no longer have the packaging. Agree with another author that "how-to" is basically useless. I had a YouTube video

Pros
  • REAL WOOD LOOMS AND HOOKS: The loom and shuttles are made from real solid wood to create the most stable framework for your weaving. The frame comes in classic FAO Schwarz colors of gold, white, and red, and features knobs for adjusting string tension and neck height.
Cons
  • I will write later

5 ordered, 2 were defective! The rest is great!

These are well thought out and durable machines. However, the instructions and structure leave room for improvement! I ordered five from Donors Choose for my elementary school art class. One was missing screws to hold the strap handles. They fell off but I taped them back. Another was missing a disk behind the red handle on the front. This combined with poor instructions led to a lot of confusion when I first pulled the warp and removed the finished fabric from the loom. After I solved theseโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Create dozens of carrying projects: the loom comes with enough rope for one piece of fabric, but don't stop there! The guide includes ideas on how to create more fabric patterns so you can sew together larger items like scarves, hats, doilies and more! With just one loom and three shuttles, you can weave endless fabric for your own creations!
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model

Not a silly toy

Very often, adult versions of children's tools are as useful as "vacuum cleaners" are for toddlers, simply teaching children that their play isn't really expected to produce a useful result. THIS IS NOT A STUPID TOY. The loom looks very well made and my 5 year old niece got to work quickly. She has a love for all things textile and this was the perfect Christmas present for her as she was fascinated by my adult spinning and weaving adventures. I can't wait to see what she creates next year onโ€ฆ

Pros
  • WEAVING YOUR FABRIC FROM ZERO: Learn the centuries-old practice of weaving fabric from twine on a real working loom! The FAO Schwarz Craft Weaving Loom Kit contains everything you need to start making your own fabrics.
Cons
  • Disappear
