Papo Wild Animal Kingdom Environments Set, The Zoo

I really love the idea and aesthetic of this toy and so does my son. Unfortunately the love I have for this toy stops there. Nothing is properly secured into place except the zoo sign and the block that holds the turnstile in. The rings that are meant to hold the background down are easily removable. We looked for a wood zoo for a long time. In theory I am happy with this purchase but I wouldn't recommend, something is just missing. It took us literally an hour to build this thing (adults) and my son (toddler) three minutes to see see how easy it was to take apart and do it. We even thought of using wood wood or gorilla glue to keep it together and after closer examination realized there was no space on the wood slits. Like I said great concept but poorly executed.

My granddaughter had this as #1 on her Santa list. Fairly easy to put together. Sturdy!! The only bummer is cost for shipping is as much as the item is. She was VERY disappointed thatNO animals were included. It would have been helpful if that tidbit of I info was more evident.
