Fun truck, but some build issues
Our son really wanted this truck for his 3rd birthday after seeing it online. It was the only thing he wanted. It is nice. The magnetic dumping action keeps him interested. The build could be a bit better. Parts of it went together a bit skewed because the pre-drilled holes weren't in the correct locations. The dowels for the wheels and dumping mechanism were too long, so I put in washers to make them less loose. Nice to have something not made out of plastic.
my 8 year old loves it
Its exactly what it looks like in the picture. My son wanted a wooden truck and this is what he got for Christmas. One thing I didnt realize was that I had to put it together. It was fairly easy but afterwards my hands were sore from using the screwdriver. I had bought the 2 pack tho and had to put together the firetruck also. It seems very sturdy. All of the little pieces are attached with screws also. No glue is used. One neat thing is that the little garbage can has a magnet on it that connects it to the lift to "dump" the wooden trash in the truck. Kinda cool :)
What a neat truck...
We got this truck, along with the tow truck, from Santa for my 3 1/2 year old. Dad and son had a great time getting everything all put together. It does take some time however. So a lesson in patience is part of the deal. :) The coolest thing, besides it being super sturdy and wood, is the way the truck picks up the "trash" and dumps it in the back of the truck. My 10 year old thinks it is cool.
The only suggestion is that you use a cordless screwdriver. There are a lot of screws and event though they are pre-drilled it can get tiresome.
It is a super neat toy and I do plan to buy it for my nephew.
