 some details are different from manufacture descriptionMay 06, 2009
By Y. Chen
Overall a good product for the price. We noticed that the manufacture says it's hand painted, but acctually the letters are printed material glued on the wooden pieces, not painted on. The one we received had peeling edges that revealed this. Second, it is not real wood. The daddy probably knows the right term but to me, the mommy, its 'presure treated wood byproduct'. You don't see the beautiful rings of real wood on it. In addition, you need to wipe it clean before giving to your kids because of the fine samll dusts. I am not suprised about the quality being under $20, but at least the manufacture should not state 'hand painted' when it is not. These details may not bother you if you are ok with other Melissa and Doug products. However, I am concerned about the printed material and whatever they used to glue it on because my baby will chew on it and the chemical will end up in his tiny body. I am still in search for a puzzle painted with non-toxic paint.

Good value, fun colorsAug 03, 2007
By SunsetDweller
My son loved this puzzle and it helped him recognize his alphabet at only 2 1/4 years. Kudos to Melissa and Doug for making educational toys that aren't too loud, plastic, or annoying to parents. Some of the paint has chipped off, but my son is pretty rough with some toys, so that's no surprise.

 Excellent quality, Very educationalMay 08, 2008
By Steph
I just bought this for my 15 month old. This is our 3rd Melissa and Doug puzzle. All are great quality. This puzzle has the same exact letter printed on the board beneath the puzzle piece, so it is good for younger children to learn where to put the pieces. The varying color combinations also make it easier for them to match the letter to the correct spot. I love this puzzle and so does my son. We have other cheaper alphabet puzzles, but this one is definitely worth the money. Highly recommended. [...]

Not as nice as other/similar puzzles from Melissa and DougJul 11, 2009
By Brandon S. Clark
We bought the "123" puzzle by Melissa and Doug, and our 18 month old son loved that one, so we figured we'd also get him this "ABC" one as well. The craftsmanship on the "ABC" puzzle is inferior to that of the "123" one. The ABC pieces are only painted on the front side, with the sides and backs being only unfinished wood, whereas on the "123" puzzle pieces were painted on front, back and side. Sounds like a little thing, but with the wear and tear little ones give the pieces, it makes a big difference. We've only had the "ABC" puzzle out of the box for 5 minutes and small pieces of unfinished wood are already flaking off. Disappointing.

Fantastic puzzle!Jun 06, 2007
By Minnesota Mom
This just came in the mail, and my 19 month old and I already love it. The pieces are perfect for her hands; smoothly painted, durable, easy to hold, easy to remove and put back. The pieces are painted the same as their spots on the board, and every letter is a different color combination, making the matching of the pieces in their places easy. I'm very pleased with this purchase.
