NO BATTERIES REQUIRED!
What is required are some Melissa and Doug's fruits and vegetables to fill the bins and child(ren) will play on and on and on! This allows children to be creative and use their imagination instead of being entertained by a video.The stand is dual purpose.... it can be a vegetable stall or a lemonade stand. You can easily transpose the banner to either the grocery store or the lemonade stand.Ours is stocked with many fruits and vegetables and lots of lemons for lemonade. I added a Rubbermaid plastic pitcher for the "lemonade" to be made in! As a result, I have consumed endless glasses of lemonade!As with most Melissa & Doug toys this stand evokes two adjectives... imagination and quality. An added plus is that the stand is very simple to put together. The instructions are very explicit and the holes all line up perfectly!This is one toy that will continue to be used day after day, week after week and year after year. It will grow with your child, withstand their punishment and still be viable. I highly recommend this purchase!

Exceeds expectations
I bought this for my youngest daughter's third birthday. I also bought some wooden foods (some of which are the cuttable velcro kind) and a play cash register/calculator, as well as the Melissa and Doug shopping cart. As part of a themed gift this was a big hit.Having said all that, this is a very well made toy in and of itself. I was impressed with how solid and sturdy it is. It was easy to assemble and came with several shelves and bins and a two-sided canopy that says "grocery store" on one side and "lemonade stand" on the other. It's easy enough for a five year old to switch the sign around. There are even small chalkboards to hang on the plastic bins so kids can label and price their items. There are lots of opportunities for pretend play and even some educational value, with adding up of prices and whatnot.As soon as my daughter opened this present, my three kids immediately took it outside and had a vegetable sale from our garden. They made over $20! I didn't even really expect them to use it that way, but they had a blast. It drew the attention of several neighbors, all of whom loved the stand and pronounced it "the coolest birthday present". I guess that says it all.

Sturdy fun play piece
Fun set that had provided hours of fun for five and six year old. We purchased fruits and veggies to go with it as well as lemonade items. Set up with cash register, baggies, and various other items to make it a full store. Was surprised the construction is not flimsy particle board. It is very sturdy and very heavy with solid wood pieces and slats. The chalkboard pieces are small but appropriate for little hands tho writing must be small. It's time consuming to put together and I suggest reading through entirely as you set aside each part with the appropriate bolts, screws, etc. some pieces are harder to get together than others we found such as the side shelves. Read directions carefully so not to put it opposite. As the mom I put together with six year old helping and it took us four hours on and off with breaks and just goofing off. So I'm guessing a total of two hours total for work as we had a difficult time with the sides and holding the heavy piece steady as pieces were attached. It is worth the effort as the quality is far superior to many products and the quality of this Melissa and Doig product is indeed excellent.

Excellent toy.
Bought this as a gift for my niece (2) and nephew (4). We were able to put this together in under an hour, very easy instructions. As a teacher I am always looking for gifts which allow children to use their imagination without everything having to be interactive (i.e. no sounds/lights/etc.). I was thrilled with the overall quality of this toy. It was very solidly built. We did add a layer of clear self paper to the top just to give it an another layer of waterproofing. This was by far their favorite gift for Christmas (which is saying a lot as they received a lot of interactive toys and this beat them out hands down!). The baskets are great for not only playtime but also for storing toys when not in use. Even though some of the features like the chalkboards won't be used as much now, I know they will grow into this toy for years to come! I highly recommend anything Melissa and Doug. We have bought their toys for a few years now and they have always been excellent.

Great product but needs better quality control
I bought this despite a few negative reviews because I've always known Melissa and Doug to have quality products... I will say that they make great products if you don't need to assemble them.That being said, this stand was a pain to assemble. The directions are simple, but the holes were drilled too deep so you had to randomly hold the nut in the right place to line it up with the hole. What should've taken me around 10 minutes took an hour and a lot of cursing. I don't find furniture difficult to assemble and consider myself a pro for certain Swedish furniture with the worst instructions ever, so I'm fairly certain it's not me.One of the side shelves split while I was screwing it on... not really sure how it happened and it's a HUGE split running the length of the shelf. I'm disappointed but the rest of the stand looks great and seems sturdy. I got this on sale and it's well worth the $59, but I wouldn't pay more than that until M&D work on their quality control for this productRegardless of any negatives, my kids immediately loved it and it perfectly fit all of their play food.

10 out of 10
We love all things Melissa and Doug! In usual fashion, it was easy to assemble and was quality materials. I thought the cute chalkboard signs for the individual baskets was a nice touch. Plus the double sided sign it amazing. We paired this was a shopping cart and a cash register.

Cheap Quality ๐
This was very difficult to put together because screw holes were not drilled correctly. Nothing lined up and was cheap quality. Very disappointed in Melissa and Doug and the quality of their products.
