I like that these blocks have a nice wooden box to stack them in when play is over.  But could do without the plexiglass lid.  My son loves to dump them out then load them into his train or stack them.  They are colorful.  But I have noticed that the paint and or wood is chipping on some of them.  That worries me a bit as I don't want them to become to sharp or give splinters.  Other than that, the blocks work well.
