I bought this toy several months ago after seeing it recommended in Parents magazine. My son loves this toy! He loves to pull the knob for the drill press, bang on the pegs and spin the paint roller. This has been the best $25 I've spent in his short life. It's withstood all the banging he can dish out and he loves the lights and music. I like changing the mode from time to time (counting/ABC's, tool sound effects, music) to mix things up for him and he sometimes looks surprised that it's different from the last time he played with it. I think it keeps him from getting bored. He goes through phases with his toys, he'll have favorites for a while, but he always loves this toolbench. We don't go away for a weekend or on vacation without it!
