Definitely recommend it
This kids’ food toy set is really great. I love that it’s made of wood — that’s a big plus for durability and safety. The set includes a wide variety of items: meat, fish, dairy products, and vegetables, so it’s perfect for imaginative play and learning about food. Everything is well made, sturdy, and looks nice. The quality is very good, with smooth surfaces and pleasant colors. A special highlight is the wooden boxes — they make play more realistic and also help with storage and organization. For such a large and diverse wooden set, the price is very reasonable. Overall, a high-quality, educational toy that kids really enjoy

Cute design and made to last
I bought this set of food for my granddaughter to go along with a play kitchen that I got on amazon at the same time. The set arrived on time and was exactly as shown. The set is good quality and sturdy so it will last for a long time. It is much better than the plastic and cardboard sets that she had previously. Its only a matter of time before the toys end up in the mouths of small children so these are great because they don't get chewed up like the cardboard and plastic ones do. I saw previous reviews where it was said that the food didn't look much like real food but I didn't find that nor did my granddaughter. I thought it was all cute and easily identifiable as what it was. It certainly didn't make any difference to her. I also really liked the small wooded trays that the food comes in. She keeps them in her kitchen set with her food stored in them and they've held together as well even after being used extensively. I also noticed some of the paint had come off but it looks more like it wore off with a lot of use rather than chipping off like other reviewers had noted. Overall, I think this is a big improvement over plastic and cardboard food and the style is very adorable. Its solid and will last for years. I'd highly recommend it!!

Never disappointed
All Melissa and Doug products are high quality with peace of mind that it's guaranteed to be non toxic for the littles that have to put everything in their mouth! Always easy to use, clean and so special for playtime! Always a keeper!

Fun play good
My preschool class has so much fun making meals for each other and their teacher! Durable, realistic looking food. They are educationally valuable, easy to cut and reassemble. Great price!

Overall really good. There are lots of healthy foods included, but there are a few chips on ours.
I have had this set for over a year and we're generally pretty happy with it. Here's a list of what we have discovered we like and don't like: Pros: -Healthy food groups: I gravitated toward this set because many others have things like French fries, pizza and deserts. I prefer my son play with healthy foods because I think it helps him get excited about eating them. It's hard to play with an ice cream cone and then have your mom serve you up broccoli. -Boxes: I like that the food comes in the cute little crates. We talk about the various food groups as we separate it. It also helps him clean up and organize. -Wood: I tend to buy wood toys over plastic because of the health risks of plastic (although I'm not sure about the paint on these). They also just look better and last longer. Cons: -Chipping: I have had a couple items chip. The hamburger bun arrived with a little paint missing, not enough to make me send it back, but it was definitely there. The paint does chip off if things are banged together or dropped. -Heavy: These are obviously heavier than plastic. If they are thrown it can hurt or damage floors/walls/furniture. Overall, I would buy these again. My son plays with them in his little kitchen daily along with the M & D sandwich making set.

Cumbersome and cute
Cute, but heavy and needs space for all the boxes that do not stack for storage
