My 18 month old absolutely adores this piano! This piano is very well-made, very sturdy, does not topple over, stood up to my son's abuse (he is at the age that he thinks everything is a drum!). It compliments our living room deco, even though our living room is white. The little bench is an asset, it makes him want to sit down and play the piano longer. BEST THING ABOUT THIS PIANO BATTERY FREE! So though it's pricey to buy, you save on those expensive batteries replacement. It has very soothing (yeah, even with my son banging away), subtle keys, unlike some of those very annoying toys these days. It's one of his dad's favorite toy too!

My grandchildren, ages 2 thru 8 all enjoy playing this piano.

The 8 yr. old composes melodies, the 6 yr. old plays the color

coded songs, and the 2 year old simply likes the sounds she makes.

Both our adult daughters are piano teachers and have found this toy an excellent choice for a toddler to "play" with.

Honest reviews on 25 Key Elite Spinet

The Schoenhut Elite Spinet was as expected/advertised. The piano was the hit of our grand daughters christmas. While she "plays" it constantly, we can't wait for her to get a little older (she is currently 2 1/2)to learn to play it better and to the music. Regardless, we are very happy with the purchase and relieved that you can still buy quality products that will hold up to vigorous play and will not go out of style or interest any time soon. We personally think this will spur our grand daughter on other musical interests not a bad thing.

The quality of this piece is poor.

(1) The look : cheap plywood with a sloppy application of lacquer. (Bare spots, the 5-layer ends (cross-section) of the plywood showing through, etc.)

(2) Of 25 keys, 2 did NOT work on arrival.

(3) The construction is 'loose' with boards not holding together particularly securely. The whole thing 'rattles'.

(4) It STINKS! The varnish smell is extremely strong. Strong enough to give me a beating headache. If I wasn't planning on returning the item, I would need to find a garage or similar to air it out for several weeks before it would be suitable for a home.

Despite the fact that this piece is marketed as 'Schoenhut, Quality Pianos since 1872', it is in fact made in China.

The sound is 'okay', but surprisingly weak for such a piece.

Update:

After contacting the company, they gave instructions about dismantling the piano to get the broken keys fixed. I did this, but it didn't work. So, they sent me a whole new piano. All the keys work, but it (the varnish) still *STINKS*, so I am upgrading my review by one star for good customer service.
