Great puzzle set!!!
We love this set of four well-made puzzles. They are great for outings and they keep my 3 year-old busy in a restaurant. The box is great to store it all and each of the four puzzles has a different symbol on the back, so it makes for easy clean up.

These puzzles are great!
My 3 year old son plays with them all the time. They are a little challenging and he loves to see the completed puzzle. The box is great and keeps the puzzles separate. Each puzzle peice is marked on the back for easy sorting. I am ordering all of the boxed sets ASAP!

Fun and Durable
These are just great. Four 12-piece puzzles made out of very durable materials (see Pros below). The sturdy wooden box has four compartments under a sliding lid. Each of the four puzzles are theme related. These four are Forklift, Cement Truck, Dump Truck, and Digger.

Pros:
Easy but not too-easy puzzles.
Pieces fit well together.
Nice pictures.
Sturdy container.
Each puzzle has a different shape printed on the back to make sorting the puzzles easier.
Super durable. I did not realize just how durable they were until I found a piece in my dishwasher. Even after being washed the picture was fine and the wood in perfect condition.

Cons:
It may take a few moments to figure out how to fit an entire puzzle's pieces in a single compartment.
Lid does not lock closed.

My kids love these and you will too.

Pieces break easily.
My 3 year old received this toy for Christmas. She enjoys putting the puzzles together very much. However, she has trouble getting them apart - the wooden pieces do not come apart very easily. We already have 4 or 5 pieces that have broken - a layer of the wood has come off, either off the picture part or the back of the piece. I was disappointed when a piece broke after we only had the puzzles a few days! The wood is very thin. The shapes on the back are great for sorting the pieces, but the compartments that hold the pieces aren't big enough. If the pieces don't go in "just so" - the lid won't close. The puzzles are nice, but I would not purchase this toy again due to the quality.

Hours of fun
Our son (2-3/4) plays with this over and over. And, putting the pieces back into the box is as much a part of the game as putting the pieces together, so clean up is not an issue. Who would have thought that with 6 months of playing with 4 puzzles on an almost daily basis you would have no missing pieces! Sturdy and colorful and well built (as have been other "Melissa & Doug" products we've found...)
