Best Farmer’s Market

5 stars
This is a great addition to my Kindergarten classroom. The kids love it. It is great quality and was packaged carefully. It was not assembled, that is my only negative mark. Otherwise it is an exceptional product.

Endless Fun

5 stars
My son loves his market stand. He loves to “work” he has built his language so much with this setup. These are the areas that he works on language delivery, color recognition, real world play, math concepts, and real world experience.

Sturdy And Life like

5 stars
I bought this for my granddaughters and they love it! It keeps them busy for hours playing market. I love that it is built well and can handle wear and tear from the little ones.

Great features!

5 stars
This was bought to go in our Kitchen/dramatic play area of the classroom. We have also used it as a store, with a cash register. The children love the fruit and vegetable baskets we added to it and they love to play store, using the cash register and phone.

KIDS LIVE IT!!!

I bought this at the beginning of the year and it’s a huge it in my classroom! The kids love to play with it and take on different roles

SO cute and fun!

5 stars
Our kids LOVE this! Perfect for our "Farmers Market." Excellent quality and design, as well as a great way to get the kids engaged in deeper play as they take turns being the "cashier" or "buyer."

very versatile

5 stars
This market can be turned into so many things. For example ice cream shop, vets. office, and beauty shop just to name a few. The kids love the variety of this piece.

Market Day!

5 stars

Love love is perfect

5 stars
This is perfect for my home dayacare, I arrived assembled which was great, I only assembled the canopy, the rest arrived assembled, my children loved it, I bought the basket at a good price, since the one in the photos is somewhat expensive, but of The same way you can get it elsewhere, super recommended .

Great Market!

5 stars
This compact market is the perfect addition to our class! We are going to use it as a grocery store, an ice cream shop, a hardware store, bakery and a pizza parlor! It can also perform as a puppet theater! This is much more cost-effective than another brand (it does hold 3 blue shopping baskets if you already own them). It was a breeze to put together and you can hand wash the awning when it gets dusty (or touched too much). All in all a great value and it seems like it will last a long time too!

Love this market

5 stars
We purchased this market for our play area. We laminated some signage for the canopy; so we can turn it into a pizza shop, grocery store or pet clinic every week or so. Love the baskets. Our only problem was getting the protective paper off the white board. This is a favorite- everyone loves this market!

Versatile and functional

5 stars
We love this Carolina Market. It has so many uses - we change it out depending on our themes. For example, we used this for an ice skating rink concession stand. The children had to "rent" skates, and pay for them at the cash register. They could also "purchase" hot chocolate here as well. There are so many great ideas and ways to use this one piece of furniture. It has been so fun for the children.

WOW

5 stars
My children really enjoy this product. They spend hours there getting deep into play. We change it up by changing out the props. This is a great year round experience.

Great for the imagination

4 stars
The kids love this market. It can be transformed into a puppet show as well. Hours of fun.

Fun market stand

5 stars
I purchased this market stand for my in-home child care and am very pleased with it so far. It came with the bottom half already assembled, so we only needed to assemble and attach the canopy frame. It was a little tedious with the little hex wrench, but overall easy. The market stand is very sturdy and the perfect height for the preschoolers. The kids love it! I purchased six of the small woven baskets and they fit perfectly! I'm excited to use this versatile shelf as more than a market stand too; I envision it being turned into a vet clinic, post office, and much more. If I get adventurous enough I might even sew some other canopies since it is attached with velcro and would be easy to change out. I only wish I could choose which side to put the marker board on depending on which way we have it positioned in the room, but it's screwed onto the one side.
