Great Puzzler for lots of educational activities
Bought this toy for my two-year-old and it was an immediate hit. I like that the poles are uniform in size and so any of the "rings" will fit on in any order. It's a great toy for learning to sort, learning colors and counting.

Poor quality control
When we got this toy out of the box, about a third of the pieces were stuck together because the toy had apparently been packaged when the paint was still wet. When I pried the pieces apart, paint from one piece was stuck on the other piece. After I was done, it was looking pretty ugly.

Must attend children playing with this
To begin playing, take the blocks off the poles. At first I was worried she would fall over and hurt herself on these exposed poles. Next, the poles fell off, which then exposes this clear glue which my child wants to chew on.
Just like the sorting cube I bought with this, the colored paint chips off. The square is 2 shapes which fit to be a square. Seems like a good advanced concept, but mostly concerned of the sharp edges. So those were put away.
I should have bought one of the plastic versions of this. The paint would not have chipped off. And maybe the poles would have been attached to the base rather than adhered with toxic glue.

I love this toy!
I purchased this for my 6 month old. Hes a little young so I keep the smaller blocks and the base away from him to keep from injury. But its great to watch him grab each piece from the stack and try to put it back.

Keeps my 21-month-old occupied for long periods
My 21-month-old son loves this stacker, and it keeps him occupied for long periods of time, so I can cook dinner or clean up. He has gone (in a few weeks) from dumping all the shapes and randomly stacking them back on, to being able to stack the round and hexagonal shapes together in the proper order. He still can't fit the square "jigsaw" pieces together in pairs, but I think it's just a matter of time. He also has one of the classic plastic ring pyramid stackers (I think Fisher Price?) which he enjoyed a lot when younger, but it didn't hold his interest like this does now.
As far as durability and safety: I have no complaints about the manufacturing - it seems very high quality and I expect it will last a long time though we haven't had it long (a few months?) We keep it on the coffee table or another low table (my son stands or sits in front of it) so I don't worry about him falling on the poles, though admittedly this was also a concern of mine with the simpler plastic stacker, since he tended to play with that more on the floor, where it could be a hazard.
One minor complaint (though this is more about my son's usage rather than the toy's fault): he has decided the top round shape is a "ball" and tries to throw it, so it is now "lost" since our floors and furniture can't withstand hard wooden balls being thrown around.

Beware, this bleeds
Maybe it's non-toxic but after a half hour of our toddler playing with this - although he enjoyed it - his hands were red and there were red stains on his t-shirt. So its in the garbage now. Is it non-toxic I don't know, though if toy makers used toxic paints for years and lied about them, there's little reason to believe a label that boldly says non-toxic. How many pieces of clothing out there with Gucci labels are not made by Gucci?

My 14 month old loves it
My 14 month old loves it and so do i because it's educational. He is at the stage where he loves putting the lids on things, and things on things, wish i had bought this sooner.

Great for 3 yr olds esp little ones with special needs.
My kids love the this toy, they got it for their bday and we now use it for car trips, aside from them now learning how to throw and them throwing them at one an others car seats only a few feet away from one another they are great. I might make them an only supervised toy now that I read someone had to go to the ER because the kiddo put it on their finger. But I mean it seems quite safe and solid to me. My kids usually break toys with in a few months together. So I will update this if it does break as another reviewer stated.

Geometric Stacker
This is a very high quality toy. Something that you come to expect from Melissa and Doug. I really like that there are three options of shapes to stack, it even increases the difficulty with the blocks that you have to link in order to stack them properly. This toy is a little advanced for my one year old, however, he was able to stack the shapes in random order and also like to throw the shapes. This will be a good one to pull out again in about 6 more months.
