This thing is sturdy. My kids have not treated it gently and it works great. I like how the receipts are just post it notes, making it easy to find refills. The buttons are nice and big and we enjoy the sound it makes when opened. The money is cute and real sized. This product is better than the cheap junk grocery sets you find. I'm using it now to keep track of "mom bucks." A reward system for kids. Totally recommend!
