MY THOUGHTS:

Honestly, at first when I saw the price I thought it was a little high for a wooden truck, then I realized it was so much more.  The Big Rigs Semi Truck is first of all huge!  Made of a durable Birch Ply wood, the truck is definitely going to last the abuse of my two boys!  I did have to put away the wooden logs it comes with for now because my younger son was using it as a weapon, so for now they just store toys and small cars back there.

It is big enough for both boys to push around and they have so much fun together with it and the rubber wheels make it glide smoothly all over. The little guy it comes with is adorable and durable also.  When I received the truck it had separated in the box, but my husband was able to put in some wood glue to fix the piece that came unstuck.  The truck is good as new now and I am sure it was just a defect.  The Guidecraft website does say though that for any issues Customer Service would be more than happy to resolve any problems.

I would definitely recommend the Big Rigs Semi Truck for any child who loves cars or trucks, and this one is big!  It will definitely last and is safe since it is made of wood, so no lead or plastic to worry about.  Other than the Big Rigs line, there are also a bunch of other products that I love!

BUY IT: You can buy the Big Rigs Semi Truck for $90 through the Guidecraft website or check the Store Locator for both online and retail stores that sell Guidecraft products.
