Review: Good quality and fast shipping. - Good quality material. It has wood body but hard cardboard paper in the front. I like that it has a full magnet at the back. Good for toddler above 2-3yrs above.. but if you have a child that eats toys, I don't recommend this get the plastic one. I like the storage box it is made of wood with a plastic sliding cover. Very fast shipping I ordered April 6 and arrived Apr. 7 in the morning.
Review: Good magnet but not water resistant - The product is amazing and same as shown in picture. The magnet is superb as we enjoyed sticking it all day long with my 3 yrs old. (received today) however the reason of giving it 4 star is that my kid accidentally dropped it in water and the half of the paper on top of the alphabet came off quickly (I thought its painted wooden, however it has 3 layers magnet, wood and colour paper on top) so definitely not water resistant. Other than that perfect for little ones to play and learn.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the back still all magnet and not small pieces?  I'm just afraid of the magnet coming off and being a choking hazard.**
A: Yes, it's still all magnet on the back, however some of the letters are small enough to be choking hazards on their own. Hope this helps.

**Q: Are there 104 or 52 letters total?  52 + 52 total letters or 26 + 26 letters (uppercase + lowercase)**
A: 52, 26upper, 26 lower

**Q: Im confused, some reviewers say the letters are painted, others say they are covered in paper. Which is it?**
A: It's painted, not covered in paper. It's really durable too, the paint does not chip. My niece has used it for up to 3 months and it's still the same way it was when I bought it and she plays really rough with toys, by the way.

**Q: Will these magnetics scratch a black refridgerator?**
A: It's like a magnet paint on the back, it's not hard or rough. It shouldn't. I have a textured back fridge and haven't noticed any scratches
