This toy is not built right. Some of the pegs pound through easily, some won’t pound through at all, and some pound through by barely touching it with the hammer. I don’t understand how this is supposed to be fun at all. It’s more frustrating than anything. Plus the hammer can be very dangerous if your child decides hitting people is a lot more fun than the toy (which is very likely to happen).

This is a great little toy that I bought for my 18Mo old girl. She had a blast with it but shortly after using it the block of wood that is the hammer head split in half. I wood glued it and back to banging. It then split in a different place and I fixed it. Also one side fell off once, but easily fixed.
Thats the nice thing about wood toys…easily fixable. Overall I like this product and we had a blast with it and it has taken some major abuse.

My granddaughter loves this toy and plays with it in many imaginative ways. It is simple and not overstimulating. She is so happy when she plays with it and I am so glad to have bought it.

The pegs on this toy are longer then the legs so when they are hammered down they hit whatever the toy is resting on at the time. Did not work well with the coffee table as my granddaughter blasted away trying to drive the pegs all the way down. Looks like this company is short on quality control….

I’m a big fan of Melissa and Doug toys for my baby, who is now a toddler. In general, Melissa and Doug makes educational, sturdy toys you can be confident and comfortable in giving your child.
Unfortunately, my experience with the pound-a-peg was not so great. The first unit we bought we had the pegs “lose” their shape and start falling through the holes after just a few plays, and this is when our little one was >1, so not a real heavy-hitter. Melissa and Doug were very responsive and immediately sent us a new one, after a quick phone call to their customer service center (where you actually speak to a live person; kudos!).
Unfortunately, we had the same problem with the second set, and then some. Not only did the pegs lose their pound-ability but the hammer also feel apart, repeatedly.
All in all, I think Melissa and Doug make great products–and I continue to frequent them as a company–but this one just didn’t seem to hold up.
