Reviews of Rocky Color Cone

Customer Ratings:

I ordered this product because it was listed as being made in the USA. However, when I got it, it said "Made in Mexico." Got it too late to send back, so I'm stuck with it.

We got this toy as a gift and were initially thrilled with it-my 7-month-old loves wooden toys and things that spin and rock. However, we've had it for only one week now and it's beginning to show a lot of wear. My son is teething and the paint does not hold up to any moisture-it's bubbling and peeling all over the place and it comes off in tiny chips and flakes. The wooden base has also developed a large crack, and I'm not sure why, since he hasn't teethed on that part at all. I consider both of these issues to be potential safety hazards, and though I love the concept of this toy, the construction just doesn't measure up.

This is a beautiful and simple toy. But I was really surprised and a little disappointed by how small it is. (I never thought to check the measurements when I ordered it.) The smallest ring will definitely be put away because I'm afraid my little one will stick the whole thing in her mouth.

Honest reviews on Rocky Color Cone

I ordered this item from a catalog and it just arrived. It is incredibly tiny. As the photo shows, it is the size of a soda can. I came to Amazon to determine if there are better ones available, if I should keep mine, or gift it to another family.

After reading the reviews of the Melissa and Doug Rainbow Stacker as well as the Fisher Price Rock a Stack and the Plan Toy Stacking Ring, I am not impressed with any of the available options. It seems they all have flaky paint or toxic plastics. The Wonderworld New Stacking Rings has excellent reviews and would be what I would buy if I were choosing new a stackable toy. After further search I have come across the Educo Double Rainbow Stacker, which seems to be a great buy and certainly looks more fun, but is smaller than THIS stacker. If money is no object, the Large Rainbow Conical Stacking Tower looks amazing!

In regards to THIS stacking ring toy. I do not have rings that are stuck together, as many reviewers on these various stackers have mentioned. It seems to be in wonderful condition and of excellent quality. My only issue is that I paid $19.99 in the catalog (from my child's preschool fundraiser) and it is half the size that I expected it to be (I should have checked the dimensions before buying). The box says that it is for age 1 and up. My baby is 8 months and the purple piece is too tiny for him to play with, so I would need to remove that piece. I like that the rings can be put on in any order. The rod is not collapsible, but I do not feel this is a safety hazard because it would likely rock away (fall over) if fallen on.

This stacker is beautiful and, well, it does what it's supposed to. I know people are complaining about the size, but I think it's just lovely. It's made of solid wood, with beautiful paint, and it will last for all of my kids and probably my grandkids as well. A "regular sized" stacker made out of solid wood would be quite heavy, and not very utilitarian for a small baby, don't you think?

Anyway, I don't know if I'm happier that it's plastic free, or that it's made in the USA.

As for folks worrying about the purple ring being a choking hazard, that's just crazy. If your child can get that thing far enough into his/her mouth to choke, well, you've got bigger problems than this stacker coming your way.

On another note, I have to add that Holgate is a GREAT company that's been around for hundreds of years. We lost the second to smallest ring (the blue one), and I sent an email just out of curiosity to the manufacturer to see if I could buy a replacement. I would NEVER have even bothered to do that for some made in china garbage. I had a reply within hours, and a replacement in no time at all.
