I am looking for wall cubes to hold my toddlers toys in. Are these durable enough to withstand a toddler banging/tugging them?

Hi Timothy,Yes, our Cubes are study. We also recommend you anchor and secure it with L-brackets and screws into wall studs to prevent any accidental tipping. Jimmy ChiangWay Basics, Founderjimmy@waybasics.com

I bought a 100 piece set and they are played with by twin boys who are 3 on a daily basis. They are thrown, stepped, slammed together and are still holding strong and none of them have broken. They love these and come highly recommended.

Actually, yes in our case. They do not latch in any way, although they're not so slippery that they are going to fall apart badly during normal play - an occasional straightening by an older child will be all they need. But in our case, our two year old and her four-year-old brother were constantly intentionally disassembling the rooms, such that they ended up all over the room in which they were playing, and I could see that it wouldn't be long before one or more got stepped in, sat upon, or otherwise unintentionally broken - not to mention the general clutter they caused. My solution was to zip-tie most of the sections together. (A few cannot be attached in this manner because of the way the walls are built.) I did this at least 7-8 months ago, and it really solved the problem. They've basically forgotten that it comes apart at all, and I haven't had to worry about it. When they're older, I will remove the zip-ties.

I think these are delicate toys made to be played with delicate hands. Maybe they should suggest this for kids a little older! No problems here.

They seem pretty durable to me. I'd say they'd hold up. They don't work very well for inside use, just an FYI

they are made of sturdy cardboard, most other blocks hold up if a child stands on them.. these M&D; blocks do not hold up with normal use

Well my 1 year old goes over and shakes the heck out of it and it rattles like it's going to break (he shakes really hard) but holds into the wall. They do look flimsy but so far it seems to work. we have bolted it into the wood at the top of the stairs. He does manage to toss anything he can through the bars and watch it bounce down the stairs.

Sure, I put them on the wall for my 10 year old boy and I also have an 8 year old. They climb like monkeys, your's will be an expert in no time. Self preservation seems to keep them from falling as that's never happened

They won't fit together with mega blocks. But add far as size they would be fine for a two year old to play with, my son loves his!

Durable enough? Probably. I would put them in some kind of sack to keep them a bit safe. what you see in the pic is how they fold up.

I think they would be strong enough. They're not as thick as a Popsicle stick but still sturdy and smooth.

Previous answer is correct. Our 2 1/2 yr old grandson loves them. Very sturdy. We had one that came with a weak area where the material had not puréed correctly in the mold. Called them and they sent a new one immediately. No questions asked.

We've had ours for a couple months and we use them all the time with our 16 month old. They seem to be holding up fine and still look and act new. I hope this helps.

The blocks are a good quality. They are heavy cardboard. They aren't wood, but a tad safer for children that play rough, I would think. I should think you will get your monies worth and they will be happy with their blocks.

I would assume these would dent easily if there were enough pressure applied. They are made of a fairly thick fiber so it would take a decent amount of pressure, such as a body leaning against it or a kid poking hard. Also, the grids can be mounted flush to the wall with silicon adhesive which could help with the resistance. Additionally, it is lightweight enough to hang with some good quality velcro. So, if it does get damaged you can replace easily.

No--they are holding up great. Very heavy pieces, don't bend--loving them. Should last a lifetime if you don't lose them.

They are very sturdy. I use them in my preschool classroom with four year olds. I also leave them out at play time and they are holding up magnificently.
