    Great blocks!
    Love the size and seem to be great quality. My son will be able to grow with these and can play with them now and for years to come. I would recommend keeping them on a low shelf or on the floor as they are a little on the heavy side if kept in a basket or the wood box they come in.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Testimony to Timelessness
    Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    I purchased the Melissa & Doug Standard Unit Solid-Wood Building Blocks approximately seven years ago for my older son, and they have truly stood the test of time. These blocks have been a source of endless joy and learning for both of my children, making them a cherished part of our family playtime.

    The quality of these wooden blocks is exceptional. Even after years of enthusiastic play, they remain in impeccable condition. The craftsmanship is evident in the smooth finish and consistent sizing, which allows for stable and creative constructions. The durability is particularly noteworthy; these blocks have been dropped, stacked, and knocked over countless times, yet they show no signs of wear or damage.

    The versatility of the set is another standout feature. The uniform size and shape of the blocks encourage precision and balance, making them ideal for constructing various structures. The wooden storage tray adds a practical touch, promoting organization and providing an easy way to keep the play area tidy.

    What sets these blocks apart is their ability to engage children in open-ended play. My kids have used them to build towers, bridges, and even imaginative structures that defy gravity. The simplicity of the blocks sparks creativity, and the lack of predetermined outcomes allows for limitless exploration.

    As a parent who values educational toys that withstand the rigors of play, I highly recommend the Melissa & Doug Standard Unit Solid-Wood Building Blocks. This set has been a staple in our playroom, offering timeless joy and learning opportunities for both my older son and his younger sibling. It's an investment in quality and durability that continues to pay off year after year. If you're looking for a gift that transcends trends and fosters lasting memories, these blocks are an excellent choice.

    5.0 out of 5 stars awesome and inexpensive, nice quality, standard sized!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    These really are 5 1/2 x 2 3/4 x 1 3/8 "standard unit block" sized (I just measured). This measures the same as the Caroline Pratt standard (from 1900's!) which Beka and OldFashioned blocks uses (and probably several others as well). Which means you'll likely be compatible with those sets if you buy this M&D set. (not sure if M&D ever change their "standard", or if other brands do... so measure to be sure! also, there could be small tolerance differences so if you worry, just get them all from one place).

    I have read (at the OldFashioned Blocks website) that M&D blocks are made from RubberWood, which comes from old Latex plantations in Asia. The side of the M&D box says Thailand, but let's be certain: the quality is _nice_, just as I would hope for and expect for a nice set of hardwood blocks. I love these. And the price is right. So ... unless you want to buy "made in America" only, save your money, these blocks are nice, real hardwood, and the wood is left natural with no chemicals to finish them.

    There is no chemical smell like some other reviewers said. Maybe there is a faint smell of lumber... Nothing that wont fade after a while. There is _no_ paint or laquer on the blocks, completely natural. They feel slightly dusty, like sawdust, that's ok, makes sense.

    The ends of the blocks are completely smooth, not rough at all. No wood pores showing there, except within just a couple of the sanded corners in the whole set.
    Overall the woodgrain is very fine and doesn't seem to be susceptible to splintering either. Nice quality here.

    They feel heavy and dense (I haven't compared to Maple, but...), and feel hard/durable.
    The corners are sanded really nicely. They should be safe to use for kids. No sharp edges.

    The wood boxes are really nice as well. The box seems to be made of the same material as the blocks, and are a unit high to boot (so you can use the storage box as something to build upon!). The box is finished nicely, not _as_ rounded as the blocks, but not sharp either, certainly not sharp, nor splintery. maybe you'd like to put the box up so your kids dont fall and split their heads on it since it does sit up high and would be a nice and solid thing to crack your head on ... but really, if they fall and hit it, it's their own fault, accidents happen! (don't blame the toy... sheesh).

    The box came filled with blocks AND styrofoam, which is a great idea to leave a little room for dumping the blocks back in (as they take more volume when not perfectly arranged).

    I got 4 sets: 2 of the "standard unit blocks" sets, and 2 of the "architectural unit blocks" sets from M&D - 208 blocks total, for $196.60 total and $0 shipping. They make for quite a pile on the floor, and I love the building possibilities here. For me, I wouldn't want any less. For you... maybe the least quantity I would buy is 2 sets of the "standard unit blocks" if I was really on a budget. Certainly you can buy 1 and continue to add on... it's easy.

    Rubberwood: Density: 560-640 kg/mt3
    Hard Maple/Sugar maple/Rock maple: Density: 720 kg/mt3

    Melissa&Doug at 94 cents each block (Chinese hardwood, imported) compared to Beka Blocks at $2.09 each block (which are made of HardMaple, made in USA).
    I like the M&D better! Or my wallet does...
    To me, it is the worst to run out of blocks when building. So the M&D set lets me get 2x the blocks as the competition for the same price at a comparable quality.
    I seriously see no difference in wood quality. The M&D set is really nice, and lets me get more blocks!

    I'd like to include a bill of materials here, but I just am too lazy. But I will tell you (from my own memory) it comes with 2 of the 2x unit blocks (nice to know there are really long pieces, though more than 2 would have been nice); no quad unit blocks at all; around 4 of the 1 unit (rectangle) blocks; several 1/2 (square); several 1/4 unit blocks (or 1/2 unit length square 'dowel' however you want to look at it). 4 round dowel unit length columns. 2 arches, and 2 half circles that fit in the arches, and 1 circle cut into 4 quarterrounds (kind of a neat piece to use to finish off a model). 4 ramps (1 unit block cut long ways into a wedge). I may be forgetting some pieces, but that gives you an idea of the Bill Of Materials...
