Title: Great toys - Will delaminate if placed in children's mouths
Review: These magnets are great. They appear to be safe because the entire backing is made of a magnetic material. The magnet isn't too strong, but strong enough to stick to sheet metal.ConstructionThe construction of the product appears to be laminated wood or laminated wood pulp - looks like plywood, but much lighter.The painted layer is a laminated layer on top. I would not go as far to say that it is a sticker, but it's not simply painted wood.DurabilityLike other reviewers, I've noticed that the top painted layer will begin to wear or delaminate if your child puts it in their mouth. Other than that, the pieces are solid and stiff.I have the letters and the numbers set and I do recommend this product for its value and safety. I can imagine that there are higher quality products out there, but when you think about the longevity of children's' toys in general, this set is on par.
