Melissa & Doug Fold and Go Wooden Barn With 7 Animal Play Figures - Farm Animals Portable Toys For Kids And Toddlers Ages 3+

I was disappointed when I opened this product, but from previous reviews I feel ours is not as bad as others. The barn doors have a really bad paint touch up job and the barn doors don't slide easily and are not aligned properly. The dog has very strange colours and the neon goat horns?? Luckily my 2 year old didn't even notice but my 5 year old thought they were weird. Overall the product is not too bad and my toddler is too small to notice paint jobs but, but it is definitely not the usual Melissa and Doug quality. There is no latch to lock it so it will open if you carry it around. I also think it will lead to the main hinge breaking.

This has become an instant favourite!

I just received the Melissa and Doug barn. I need to respond to other reviews. There were many negative reviews and many very positive reviews. Confusing. Regardless, I decided to take a chance on this item. Like one reviewer I wanted a sturdy toy like the old Fischer Price barn which my 4 year old granddaughter loves playing with at my house (and which is still great after probably 40 years!) I suspect some people received "a lemon" because the barn I have doesn't have those issues or else the manufacturer cleaned up their act! This barn is sturdy and attractive. Easy to close doors. Just one errant paint splash on one of the windows. Otherwise perfect. It is true that a small latch on the end would be good to keep it securely closed. But that is not serious. The animals I received are not "flocked" but made of a textured plastic, much like the Schleich animals to make them realistic looking, almost as well made as the Schleich. The dog is painted a little strangely but kids probably won't notice. The heads are glued on but seem to be fine. I bought some Schleich animals to fill out her barnyard. They are the right size. It's true that the workmanship is not as superb as the childraft barn but that one doesn't have moving doors , etc. I haven't given her the barn yet but I think she will love it. Amazon has a great return policy so take a chance on this item. We can't unfortunately return to those wonderful toys Fischer Price made for so long. Sigh!

La ferme est très jolie et de bonne qualité. En revanche, elle est arrivée emballée dans un simple papier kraft sans aucune protection ( pas de papier bulle, pas de mousse). Résultat: la plupart des angles de toit sont abîmés. Je renvoie le produit et ne recommanderai pas le même. En plus son prix a augmenté de 9€ depuis ma commande!!!! Lamentable!

The toy itself was great and my child was excited about it, but unfortunately it arrived with damage on all the corners right out of the box. It seemed poorly packaged, and I ended up having to return it.

Bought this for Christmas and my grandkids love it Its well made and sturdy.
