      Comments about Lillian Vernon Puppet Theater & Puppets:

      My kids have been using the theater and puppets for 4 years now and the grandkids love to play with the set so much I'm ordering them their own for Christmas. It is lightwieght enough that responsible children can set it up and put it away by themselves, they even bring it out to give a show for the whole family. There are 25 of us and we all love the entertainment it provides!

      This is VERY POORLY MADE. It falls over with the gentlest of bumps and is not made to last. I would not recommend this product. On a good note, the hand puppets are great.

      Way too flimsy!

      Comments about Lillian Vernon Puppet Theater & Puppets:

      I was thrilled to see this puppet theatre on sale, and I recommended that my parents get it for my daughter's 5th birthday. Though she was excited upon first opening it, we soon realized that it was very flimsy and easily tips over. There is a thin wooden bar that connects the fiberboard sides in the back. Not only does this not allow enough room for the children, but if you put any weight on it, it breaks the fiberboard. There was a big chunk of the fiberboard missing after only 30 minutes of two children playing with it. If it weren't a gift, I'd send it back immediately.

      Comments about Lillian Vernon Puppet Theater & Puppets:

      I was very disappointed with this product. I have 4 year-old triplets and thought this would be perfect for them, and a good deal with 12 puppets included. The theater seems to be made of pressed cardboard and has a notched stick to hold the sides in place. From Christmas morning until now, the theater continues to fall over and fall apart. Thank goodness it's light or it would have really hurt my kids, since 2 like to sit in front as the audience. There is no way 2 kids are able to put on a performance at the same time. The sides where the notched stick sits are tearing from having to constantly put it back together. I would definitely not recommend buying this product. The puppets are very cute, but they're the best part of the deal.

      Comments about Lillian Vernon Puppet Theater & Puppets:

      At first, it looked really cute, with adorable puppets. After the first use we realized how poorly it was made. The background gets knocked off, as well as the supporting stick as soon as the child goes behind . The whole theater is very flimsy.
