Fun you, not perfect.
I got this for my one year old for her birthday. It’s super cute & makes clear notes & music. She has had fun with it (as has my older kid). As you can see in the picture, though, the red paint from the mallets has worn off and some has ended up on the xylophone (it could probably clean off). And the wood face at the top is pretty dented. We’ve had it for less than a month. Wish it was holding up a little better - but still pleased with it.
