Had this for a couple of years now. Kids have thrown it around and it's been under other toys at the bottom of the toy box etc. Still in one piece though. Quality build and hardwearing.
I have used this to help kids with the concept of adding and substraction. Can't say that this is their favourite toy. They'd rather play with their NDS than with this. But has an educational value and they get a concept of addition and substraction for their maths through this. Would recommend it for 4+yrs in my opinion, but others may have different experiences.

Before buying this abacus, I was reading reviews of various abaci on Amazon. Other reviewers wrote of products which fell apart almost immediately. There's no chance of this abacus falling apart almost immediately or, I would imagine, in the long term. It's an extremely well constructed educational toy, clearly made from good quality materials, and if by chance anything does break then it has a lifetime guarantee. I can recommend this abacus without reservation.

My little grand-daughter was having difficulty in grasping the concept of 'tables' and I could think of no better way of helping her than by using the old-fashioned method of the Abacus. She is really keen and enthusiastic and thoroughly enjoys using this colourful method of counting, adding, subtracting etc. Problem solved! Must say though.. not a toy as such but a fun way of learning the basics of mathematics.

Durable and child friendly. Quality.
Good for kids, robust and not just cheap but seems of good quality. You will need to give it a once over to remove any splints but these are minor and can just be picked of by... Read more

Overall OK
Bought this for 1yr old child as though colours and movement of beads would be interesting, and would come in useful when he was old enough to understand it. Read more

This abacus is great, it has really helped my son get to grips with number bonds, times tables. He can visualise the sums now which has led to greater understanding. Read more

Very durable abacus - even bigger than I expected
I like this wooden abacus. I like that the balls are made of wood too, because I have seen many made of plastic. It is very durable, strong. Bigger than I expected, which is good.

Excellent product
Well made, good quality product. Will last my granddaughter years. The education bit will come later, at the moment it's good fun moving the beads around with inquisitive fingers!
