Are the peg heads large enough to fit little photos of my co-workers?** A: That's hilarious! Peg heads are just barely an inch or so. I think they would need to be very small photos. **Q: what is the age recommendation?** A: I allow ages 2 and up; however, to prevent the really young ones from smacking each other over the head with the mallet, I drilled a hole in the handle of the mallet and in the corner of the table and attached a string just long enough to reach the pegs. That is something the designer should have thought of. **Q: is this toy made in the United States?** A: It's made in China **Q: Why is this toy listed in the 12-18 month category, but there is a huge warning saying it's not meant for kids under 3 years??** A: I have no idea- I bought this toy for my 12 month-old and she loves it!! At 15 months she is still interested in it but I think she may get bored with it by the time she's 2. Maybe the warning is because of the little hammer? ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love Simple Toys *by C***B on February 25, 2021* I have a grandson who turned 2 at the beginning of this month and he really doesn't like baby toys. He has an older sister and he likes trying to play with her stuff but it's not age-appropriate so I wanted to find something that would get, and keep his attention. I searched through toys for hours one night and couldn't find anything I didn't think he'd get bored with after a day. There are so many gimmicky toys for kids that just don't hold up. I like solid, wooden toys when I can find them. I really like Doug and Melissa products and so do my daughter and son for their kids. I watch my grandson during the week and decided that my rough and tumble little guy needed something that made noise and he could be rough with. I thought of the pounding benches they had when my son was little and decided it would be perfect for him. So I did a search and found many different brands and price points. What stood out for me with the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Pounding Bench was that not only were they a brand I liked and trusted for well-built toys, they had perfected the pounding bench! One thing I was concerned with was losing parts. Those little pegs you pound in come out the other end and inevitably over time they would get lose. I don't like buying toys with a lot of pieces for that reason but Melissa and Doug's pounding bench was made so that the pegs could not be pounded out. Instead, the pegs on the left were connected to the pegs on the right so when you pound one peg and it goes down, the other side comes up. Genius! The price was great and it arrived in just 2 days. My grandson loves it! I keep it at our house so the noisy toy isn't foisted upon his parents and he can get all his frustrations out at our house. Two weeks after he got it the end piece that holds one of the sides up came out of its grooves and was laying on the floor. He's only 2 so I couldn't see how he could've pulled it out but there you go. It took a lot of work to get back in and my hubby will be using some wood glue to reinforce it. That was disappointing for the quality I trust in Melissa and Doug products but he's back to using it every single day and never grows bored. That's money well-spent. A simple wooden toy that amuses day after day. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Toddler toy *by B***. on July 19, 2025* Ground baby loved it ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ New favorite toy! *by L***Y on June 27, 2025* My 1 year old LOVES this!!!
