My first communication to them took over a week to get a response back... I placed two separate orders. Two items from the first order did arrive, the second doesn't even have tracking on it and after several emails trying to find out the status of it because it's a Christmas gift and like other reviewers here, it was placed sometime ago... Maybe they are a smaller operation and there is only one person handling everything...? But it looks like the other item that I paid for is somewhere in limbo so I don't have the money, the item doesn't seem to be on the way and it was a Christmas gift and kind of defeats the purpose to order a Christmas gift early enough and not have arrive by Christmas or even know where it is. The communications are very slow, other than once I did get an answer to my initial email.. wish it was advising about a discount that was available that I did not have an opportunity to take at the same time of order and I immediately advised of the issue, and even though now the item was on sale price for that same percentage discount, I had to battle to get what I should have been able to have had the site let me apply to begin with that was even now the sale price on the unit the day I was battling. It's been a very frustrating experience. I kind of want my money back because I noticed I can just buy the items on Amazon. Wish I had known that ahead of time... I sought out Montessori and I liked the options available on their site. The felt Christmas tree was a big hit so that I appreciate and it did arrive in a timely manner. I try to not order things on Amazon to support smaller businesses, but now I've been in more than one conundrum since ordering. Hopefully I will get a response for the tracking, or where the missing item is, or that it's even been shipped and hopefully it will arrive before christmas. And I understand small businesses being limited in staffing, however it's not fair to Consumers if a business is more than somebody can manage themselves. Might need a little extra help from somewhere Wondering if perhaps that's the case. More orders coming in and not enough people to manage them and fill them and ship them... Anyways I still have one item lost in somewhere with my money still out for it. Hopefully the little boy what kind of needs the little musical bench item, gets it one way or so that he can get the benefits from it and have a nice surprise.

Based on your company name being tied to Montessori (one of the best preschools in California) I had higher expectations of the product. I paid more than this product is worth. Lesson learned.

It is frustrating when companies offer you discounts or seek reviews before you even get your product and this was another example. The delivery of the item was very slow but in fairness the Customer service team were very good at responding to my chasing and keeping me updated. Product is good they just need to either manage expectations up front better or speed things up.

I thought i was getting the tree with scallops and two shades of green. The one I received is just a single piece of felt. So i am a little disappointed

First time buyer. I’m disappointed with the quality of the item I received. It was the book where you unbuckle. unsnap, tie, etc. The buckles were not easy to undo especially for small fingers, stiff pieces. Little fingers wouldn’t enjoy this and not want to play with it.

I thought it was very flimsy and cheap for the price that was charged. With a 2 year old and a 4 year old it will probably be a one time use.

The activities look nice, but I was surprised by the Busy Book. On one page where the object is to match little cut-out pictures with the alphabet I found so many mistakes! I’m going to try to fix them before I gift it.

Not only did it take a while to get here but the page with snaps has some snaps that have come off the strap. It stayed snapped and came off the material! Also, why didn’t y’all stitch the Velcro on the puzzle pieces and shapes? You’re talking a 3 yo that will pull off sticky Velcro.
