Melissa and doug set
I’m very upset because none of the accessories comes with it, it’s very misleading and doesn’t tell you that your not getting all the accessories to go with it, I had to buy it separately! I had to order it after Christmas because I didn’t know that it wasn’t included.

Extremely misleading... not sure why exactly it says 74 pieces and shows all these different accessories on the front cover of the box and all the other photos. It's literally just the free standing clinic. No accessories what so ever.

Cute toy
Cute toy but says 74 pieces and I’m not sure what all that includes because the one I received didn’t come with 74 pieces unless it’s counting hardware and all and I’m still not sure if that’s 74 pieces. The one I received also had a crack on it but too much trouble to return and wait on another one that could have the same issue or worse.

Came damaged- I can't review!!!
The box looked like it went through a tonado!! It was immediately retruned.- that was not easy, as it's so heavy I have ordered another and am praying that it arrives in a lovely box!! I lost a coupon from Target too.

Nightmare to assemble
Doesn't come with accessories which is not made clear. Nightmare to assemble. I've put up wallpaper 8 months pregnant, assembled a crib & a dresser all by myself and this doesn't even compare.

Make sure to purchase acessories
Product is only free standing clinic. Accessories are all sold separately. Disappointed 4 year old.

Really great for pretend play
I absolutely love this set. Allows for so much creativity and pretend play from my preschooler. As others have said, you have to buy the accessories separately. The treats set is no longer available but I got the animal care set, the grooming set and the vet dress up costume. With Christmas sales I was able to get everything for $150. Assembly could not have been easier - all the pieces are well labeled, and the instructions actually have written directions, which seems hard to come by these days. With two people, it took less than an hour.

So fun!
A Piece came broken but customer service was super awesome and was able to help. Both my daughters (5 and 6) seem to be enjoying it. Just a head up accessories sold separately.

My daughter absolutely loves it.
We 1st discovered this toy at the veterinary office scenario office and my daughter could not keep away from it it's not keep away from it. The only thing is it's a little expensive and doesn't come with all items needed. But it is worth the price to make my daughter happy.

Really...super cute
This is a really cute toy. My 6.5 yo wanted to but this with her own money after Christmas to take care of her animals. The instructions for assembly were horrible, nothing to indicate what side of each piece you're working with when it does matter as you're assembling a two sided toy. It will take a few hours as well... I'm not one to complain about assembly either. Also, if you find pieces without the predrilled holes don't be surprised. Also, the formica can chip easily during assembly so be careful, we unfortunately now have a chip on the main counter. BUT aside from these issues the toy is super cute. We thought it was going to be really short at 21" but it's ok and my daughter is 48" tall. We will build a platform for it if needed later. There are lots of components from the shampoo/conditioner and spray hose, to the holders for the grooming devices. in the vet center the x-ray, BP, and signs are great. The phone is also really cute as you can fully play out a scenario with others. It is nice that the signs are reusable and there are a lot of extra holders - we added a stethoscope, thermometer, towels, etc. I would recommend this if you're ok with really annoying directions.

Best Toy Ever!
My 3- and 4-yr-old granddaughters were delighted with their Vet Center! They can both play at once without being in each other's space, and their stuffed critters have never been cleaner, healthier, or better cared for! This is going to offer them SO many hours of imaginative play - the stuffed kitties we gifted them at the same time have already suffered, and recovered from, everything imaginable. Daddy and Grandpa had an engaging hour of constructive play as well, closely following the well-labeled pieces and well-written instructions, under the girls' watchful eyes. Truly, I could not have found a better toy for our little vets!

Great quality & SO CUTE!
Such great quality, easy assembly instructions and our kids are absolutely obsessed with their new animal care center! Beyond impressed, a great buy for our family! Note that accessories are sold separately. We bought 3 different kits to go along with the care center

Pain to assemble!
My 5 year old loves this but it was a nightmare to assemble and it has scratches on it after one day. One of the pieces came broken.

Love/Hate
We love this product and bought it for my sons birthday. I am disappointed that it came damaged. The return is a haste because obviously my son does not want to part ways with it. It was one of the first items that you saw when you opened the box so I was surprised that it actually got left in there and how the factory missed that. We love Melissa and Doug and have never had a problem.

I would ABSOLUTELY buy another product from you!
This was so easy to assemble! The instructions were clear and step by step. Had the exact amount of screws and pieces needed. I was very impressed with the high quality of all the wooden pieces. I bought it for my great niece for her 3rd birthday. She LOVED it! I'll probably be purchasing the kitchen for her Christmas present and the grocery store for her 4th birthday.

Good toy but shame on target
Not too thrilled with target about this item.. I was under the impression that this item came with all the accessories as shown in the photos but they were not included. No where in the description did it say that accessories weren’t included. Buyer beware!
