I decided to get this shape sorter because
No bells and whistles
The wood pieces are from solid wood
The wood peg is held on by strong elastic string so it bends if the baby falls onto it
Educo (Hape Toys) is a Chinese manufacture but meet EU and American standard for toys
Toy shapes appear to be solid wood (web says maple) Base and pegs may be plywood (other main material in product from site)
The box says 12months + but I figured if I took the small pieces out we'd be okay and she will only play supervised right now anyway. The rounded flower pieces are smaller then the star shape pieces. I took the first few of the shapes away from her to save for later. Now there is no choking hazard.
My only complaint is that the peg and the pieces fit snug together. Our daughter at 12 months may not be able to put the shapes on the pegs without help. I may look into sanding down the peg a bit-but for now she is enjoying something new since a rainbow of colors are spread out across the blanket in the living room. She seemed delighted when I gave it to her.

You can mix and match... the posts are the same size.We really liked that it used elastic to secure the wooden posts to the base... this way if a little kid falls onto it, the posts will easily collapse on their side instead of impaling them.
My niece loved it :)
