MO: Most of the food is made from a box so if played hard with they will get smashed. The deli meat and cheese are more wood then the other items. However all the food is great to play with.

CGS: Not a bad product, but I think it’s overpriced for what you get

Brittany SellBrittany Sell: I LOVE this grocery set. A couple of the items are cardboard - but they are nicely made and surprisingly durable. My problem is with shipping. Amazon shipped this in a paper mailer bag instead of a box and the pieces that were cardboard were inevitably crushed. Instead of being able to replace the two items that are ruined, I need to go through the return process. Just get this from target to avoid the extra hassle.

Samantha Campbell: Got this for my nephew and he loved it! They are bigger than expected but in a good way not oversized to much. It felt like it was good quality and made sturdy

NBSteve: We've gotten quite a few grocery and food play sets from Melissa and Doug, so when I stumbled on this one by accident I thought "we already have a ton of these" and really the only reason I gave it a second glance was because the cost was so low. I'm very glad I did though... not only are all the items here unique from what we already had, but they provided several new forms that my daughter has really enjoyed.

The milk and orange juice cartons actually open (old-school style where you have to push and pull at the top edge, which my daughter still hasn't mastered but loves to watch me open). They are a bit easy to rip at the opening though, so some care is needed.

And the deli meats and cheeses immediately became a favorite... we had ordered the Melissa and Doug toaster set previously, and now my daughter loves "making sandwiches" with that bread and her new deli kits. We also use the butter box here to hold 2 of the butter pats from the toaster set, which is a nice bonus.

The boxes and "cans" (the yogurt and parmesan aren't cans of course, but explaining that just confused her more), didn't excite my daughter as much since she's seen them in the other sets,...

L Rollie: I wish they were sturdier. They have been used by a 2.5 year old for about 6 months and are definitely a bit worse for wear. Super cute. But wish they were more solid.

Nicole RegoNicole Rego: I truly enjoy the craftsmanship and joy Melissa & Doug products bring to our family! I highly recommend this set for an older age group ..5 even 6 and up ... the set is AMAZING but only flaws are this set is mainly cardboard, the deli meats and cheese packaging is high quality but the tab you pull to open it can easily rip and damage within the first time of opening if your not careful! Even for an adult it’s difficult! I suggest taping it to secure and give a better grip! As well as the juice and milk box the tabs to open and close eventually will wear out! I’ll be sure to update in a few months! The realism and size are just perfect for fridge stuffers and very real to what we use today! Love the set and really enjoy the neat details in this product! Would definitely buy again if needed or as a gift

LisaMH: I'm overing between three and four stars on this. The products are exactly as pictured. I love the milk and orange juice cartons in particular since they're good for small fingers to practice opening and closing. However, I think the price is slightly high for what you get. Also, the other items aren't as useful as the two cartons. You can easily wash out other containers (that are about the same size) to get the same produts for less to use in a play kitchen. You can't usually find such small milk/juice cartons--and certainly not clean--so that's the main reason for purchasing this product, I think. The meats and cheeses are more gimmicky than anything else. Ideally, too, the cartons would be reinforced because as little fingers are learning to open and close the pour spouts, the cardboard becomes a mangled mess. We have a lot of layers of tape on ours and that started pretty much from Day One. So, yes, I'd buy them again but mostly I just see these as the best option out of other not-as-good ones.
