I purchased this walker for my 9 month old who is starting to cruise. I don't like the overly colorful and noisy fisher price ones, and was looking for something more organic. This walker is visually stunning, has items that every baby at that age is drawn to, and glides so smoothly and easily across the floor. Things I love:* First, the walker was extremely easy to put together by myself, and only took about 10 minutes.* The walker is made out of real wood, and feels very sturdy and quality made to the touch.* I was worried about the wheels on my hardwood floors, especially those plastic models - but these wheels are made of wood and have a thing black rubber lining around them. So not only does it not mark up my floors, but it's effortless for my 9 month old to push and it silently glides across my hardwoods.* Babies at this age love to hold things in their hands and visually inspect items - so the fact that this walker comes with little wooden blocks that my child could hold, put in his mouth, and toss around on the floor was a huge plus. Eventually when he gets older, I know he'll love putting them through the shape holes on the side of the walker.* The tray on the back of the walker is essential and was such a great touch - it holds all of the blocks and the xylophone mallets when not in use, but keeps them close by so when baby is ready to play again, he knows where to find them.I was pleasantly surprised at how well everything was made and the detailed thought that went into each and every piece on this walker. It just feels handmade and like it could be something passed down through generations for your kids. I could go on, but just trust me when I say that this walker is worth every penny and even more!
