Great product, however be prepared to assemble yourself and possibly buy your own string
Love the quality, love the look, love the writing! I ordered the light wood with black writing (exactly what's shown in the picture) and it looks just like it appears, perfect Mother's Day gift.  However I'm taking off a star for two reasons-- first, I needed to assemble the gift myself.  The instructions it came with were really vague so I had to sign back online and look at the picture to see how it looked, how to tie the twine, etc. I ordered a parent block with three kids so four blocks in total-- assembly took me about half hour.  Second and part of the reason assembly took so long, the one single piece of twine I received with my purchase was way too small!  I am spacing the blocks exactly a pencils width apart as suggested (barely any space between) and I was able to add two kids but not the third.  For the price I paid you couldn't throw in extra piece of twine?  A little ridiculous.
