These are the only wooden block we could find in such a large size. I'm kind of disappointed in them. The paint is stamped on pretty messy, so on some the raised letter doesn't line up with the paint quite right. The paint easily chips off of the textured sides. Also, several of the blocks have huge cracks in the wood that go down an entire side of the block, nearly cutting it in half. This makes them hard to stack and also makes me worry about splintering in the future. I would not buy these again or recommend them.
