Whoever thought of this was awesome! I bought this for my 4 year old daughter. We've only had it for a few days and she has played with it non stop. I think it is a pretty well made set. Packaging: The set comes in a wooden tray with the sides about 2 inches tall and pretty well made. The fruit sits in molded plastic holding each piece separate. The bottom of the tray has a picture of hay. I took the plastic out so its easier for my daughter to take care of it, she can just put all the pieces in the tray. Knife: Good imitation wooden knife. It's about 8 inches long and shaped like a butcher knife. Fruit: Set comes with a strawberry, pear, kiwi, cantaloupe, melon, orange, and lemon. They are made of solid wood, and the pictures/colors on them are painted on, not stickers. The pieces of fruit are held together by velcro that is inset in the center of each piece. The velcro is white and it about the size of a nickel. I think the velcro could be larger on some of the bigger pieces of fruit (the pear for instance) to hold it together better, but what it has does do the trick. When cutting the fruit, it does imitate real cutting. My daughter actually has to put "work" into it to get them cut. As far as durability, I really can't say as we've only had it a week. I can see the velcro eventually giving out, but that would be an easy fix. I would recommend this product as I know it will give my daughter several years of fun!

I can always count on Melissa & Doug quality. I purchased this set for my young grandkids. This set was very reasonably priced when I ordered it.

Got this for my 1 year old he doesn’t quite know how to cut the pieces yet but it’s cute the pieces stick better than I expected them too he has a smaller kitchen we got off Amazon not very pleased with the kitchen itself will be getting a better one but if u have a bigger one this would look really cute on it kinda bigger than expected too looks easy to wipe off for the price I would say it’s worth it but if u have a little more to spend I would definitely get a different set with more in it u can hear the chopping especially if it’s on wood we flipped the crate over to chop the fruit together definitely great for learning colors and fruit

Well made & durable as should be expected from this brand. Kids like playing with it. Velcro is sometimes very sticky so they may have to push hard with wooden knife to cut them up. Good add on toa play kitchen for either boys or girls.

My 2 year old loves these! He could cut fruit for hours, and has such an imagination when playing with these. They are very bright and the velcro works well. We ended up throwing away the container they came in. It was too bulky, we put them in a storage baggy to make it easier.

My kids' school has this and I decided to try it at home as well. It's a great set to introduce kids to cutting foods. Melissa and Doug is a great brand, and this set follows that same quality they're known for. The set is well made and pretty durable so far. It comes with a banana, a slice of cantaloupe, a kiwi, a strawberry, an orange, a lemon, and a pear. The pieces velcro together and then the knife is used to "cut" them apart. I really like that the melon and banana (which each can be cut into three pieces) have the rough sides of the velcro on the middle part, so either end of the fruit can go on either side of the middle piece and not frustrate the child. When I set this up for my kids, I like to place the knife in the cutting position on the melon or the banana; then they usually figure out how to do the same on the other fruits. My only complaint is that the velcro on the kiwi we received is a little too recessed and we have a hard time getting it to stay closed. It's not enough of a problem to even knock off a star, but just something I wanted to mention. I still highly recommend this set.

I got this for my grandson and he loves it! The pieces are all good quality and it works great to teach him the names of everything, colors and also how to cut things. It's not too hard to "cut" through the velcro but it's sturdy enough that it stay together. I got a great deal and it's definitely worth what I paid!
