My son is turning 1 next month and he really likes this toy. I stack it for him and he knocks it down. He chews on the pieces and they are very durable, the paint doesn't chip and it doesn't show teeth marks. Now we have a game were I try to get it stacked before he can knock it down. We go back and forth like that and honestly it's fun for me too. We have electronic toys that light up and play music but I honestly think he prefers this, we can play with it for a long time without him getting bored. Also it's very attractive and bright. I think it would make a nice display piece on a shelf too.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I suggest checking the dimensions on this toy before purchasing. I did not do that and it's smaller than I expected. That is not the reason for the three stars. This is a cute little toy, and it will be a welcome addition to my baby sitting toy box. This toy looks exactly as pictured, the colors are nice and solidly painted. The little bear head gives it a little extra interest, beyond just a stack of rings. My concern is that the magnets don't seem to be as strong as I would expect for this type of toy. Since there is no shaft to stack them on, the rings depend on the magnets to keep them in place. Still, in my personal rating system three stars is a good solid item, and I'm not at all sorry to have taken a chance on it. This will provide my nephew with plenty of enjoyment and that is what counts. There isn't much else to say, except that for what it is, I would say take a chance on it. Magnets are always fun for kids!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a super cute toy, with a fun twist on the typical stacking toy. Each piece is a solid piece, not the normal "donut" shape, and there is no vertical shaft that they all stack on. Each disc, including the base and the bear head has a magnet inside and each piece "sticks" to the one below and above it. The colors are bright and lovely, the little bear is sweet looking and I like how the base is curved so it rocks a little. The reason for only three stars is that the magnets are a little too weak in my opinion. One little swipe and they all tumble down. And It will be impossible for this set to stay even remotely together in the toy box because the magnetic force is so weak. I love the concept, but I wish it had the shaft also so that it would stay in place better. This toy is also a fun introduction to the concept of magnetism and the forces of attraction and repulsion.

Honest reviews on Manhattan Toy Brilliant Bear Magnetic Stack-up

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program One thing I look for in a teddy bear is a smile! If it does not have a smile, I am

unlikely to choose it. This one has a nice smile!

I greatly prefer wooden toys to plastic, too, and bingo, this is wooden! I love the color choices, too.

The magnets are helpful, and not so strong as to be intrusive. If you are going to play with this, you will need to pay attention to put the magnets together the way they will come together instead of pushing apart. But they don't go falling all over the place, because the magnets are not so strong that they would push hard when backwards. They are strong enough to add stability when the little bear tower rocks on its gently rounded base.

I like this toy a LOT!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I love this stacker. The magnets are fairly week, which is great. My 15 month old daughter stacks the discs as if she were stacking any kind of blocks, but the difference is that these stay stacked. The magnets are NOT so strong that you feel like you're stacking magnets. You are stacking blocks, that just are much better at not toppling over. In my opinion, that's the perfect idea for a toddler fairly new to stacking.

I really love this toy for her. It's got the classic look and feel ... a great toy to keep on display on a shelf ... but it also has the smarts of a modern designed toy.
