Not at all! My grandson has banged this thing on a hardwood floor, against walls, etc and it shows no sign of wear whatsoever. I just wipe it with soapy water after his visit and let it air dry. VERY well made toy!

We haven't had any issues with paint chips. But I can tell you my daughter absolutely loves this toy! ;)

I haven't noticed anything like that, my 8 month uses it rather gently though. I don't even see how it would be possible though, honestly.

Mine and it appears in the reviews that mostly everyones came with different colored paint on their sylveon plush. Some say its a bootleg (fake plush) and thats why its made "poorly".

I have noticed one or two squares have what looks like "paint" scratched off in the animals face. seems odd since it's not like anyone walks on it. my daughter used it first with no issues but my son wants to eat the tiles so i put them away. not because of danger per se just because it was annoying to reassemble so often.

Depends on how deep the crack is. There are fillers on the market for deep chips. This is like paint. And like paint, it will only fill in very shallow chips and scratches. It's not expensive, so all you can do is give it a try. It is very good for covering up any chips that exposed a different color beneath the enamel. So, yes it is just cosmetic, but you can stretch it's limits pretty far. It dries to really durable hard surface that will eventually scrub off if you use a lot of comet, but then you can just "paint" it again.

I checked a few of the reviewers posting histories. While the ones who have only a single record of reviewing any product might be cause for suspicion, there are many other reviewers whose records appear to be legitimate. I'd suggest that this is not a case of a manufactured conspiracy, but simply a case of poor manufacturing quality control. The buyers who got good units were very satisfied. The buyers who got less-than-good-units were not very satisfied. BTW, this product is currently on sale at a daily-deal website for $69.99 delivered. Your review (and others complaining of poor quality) convinced me to purchase this product ONLY if covered by a "satisfaction guaranteed" warranty.

That is what the paint world is in the process of switching to. It is easier to work with as far as touch ups and it is the best quality paint I have ever used for touch up needs. We have been doing full chip repairs and touch up work since 1999 which is definitely not something many competitors can say. This touch up paint isn't offered anywhere else online or in a store. We are the only company who offers a true professional touch up paint that I am aware of.

I have never had an issue with the paint--mine is even. The only part that appears painted is the blackish background behind the lion, and the whole piece has a sort of antique finish to it. I've had mine for more than 4 years and have had no issues with regular wear. Hope this helps!

I have never seen it stick to the nut meat. Some of the nut shells are pretty hard and get sharp when cracked (like walnuts). I never actually saw a paint chip, but do see the scratches on the inside. We've used ours a lot. (Probably over 100 pounds of nuts by now. About 1/3rd were walnuts.) I just bought one for a friend that is the gray one. So far no chips on the inside.

Absolutely! We have had ours for something like a year now and have cooked on it numerous times. We've not had any problems with paint chips, or rust or anything like that. It really us a great investment.

Never really had that problem, I have gotten it on the paint when I'm not being careful applying it, but it does wipe off with a clean cloth and does not damage the paint. Hope this helps.

I haven't personally seen any chips yet and my LO is 6 months old. You can always repaint it when tthey get older if that becomes a big deal.

Paula, I have never before heard this issue raised, but I appreciate the information. If that spot is scratch-prone, we can let future customers know to be mindful of this and take extra precaution. Thanks so much. Sincerely, JR Hill Goedekers.com

I have had mine for over 5 months with no problems although the paint is starting to chip!

I have done that myself and had no problems, but I guess that could also have to do with the quality of the paint that was used.

maybe just the surface paint being burnt off. I never had that problem. Or maybe my taste buds have aged somewhat.

Yes, I have had mine painted for 2 years and no chipping has occurred. I receive constant comments from guests saying they cant believe its painted. They really thought I had granite counter tops.

Here is their contact info. I would ask them directly. (I have rust spots bleeding through my paint from last year, but chalked that up to not getting it all off, and having spray shooting up underneath from puddles.) http://bondo.com/contact-us
