Does the paint really chip off so easily?

Hi to answer your question these are good quality items not cheaply made. My son uses his items on a daily basis I have noticed no paint chipping.

Not at all. My girls (twin 2 year olds) have had the set about a year and it still looks very good. They love it and it gets a lot of use! Melissa and Doug really make good quality toys.

Quality was fine. No paint chips at all and my kids are not particularly gentle with their toys.

Ours shows very little wear or missing paint after more than a year of play...very nice set

My set is about 6 weeks old and the paint at the corners and around the rim have chipped off.

The paint has held up through two toddlers and still going strong, no issues there. I haven't had any paint chip. The puzzle board is made of manufactured wood but the actual puzzle pieces are solid wood. I think it is very well made.

I have had the set for over a year and have not experienced any chipping or flaking. The set is used pretty regularly (sometimes multiple times a day). The outside paint job has started to wear with all the washing but it's not really noticeable unless you were overly familiar with the set.

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. I haven't put it through much hard use. If it's any indication, I nailed my car with the pocket clip and it chipped my car's paint, but the clip remains unharmed haha.

I believe it's ceramic (like an enamel) I haven't had any issues with peeling or fading, the only problem I've ever had with paint chipping is on the bottom and due to condensation and abrasion since that bottle sits on a ceramic tile coaster daily and the two surfaces sometimes stick together with the condensation. The ones we use for the kids have been dropped, dented, and banged around with no paint chipping at all.

I applied it to the steel bumpers on my truck and no it's not meant to be permanent. You can peal it off at anytime. It has lasted some time on my truck and has not shown any signs of chipping but I also put 4 or 5 coats on it.

Have used ours regularly for many months and see no evidence of paint chipping.

This iS a good question. But I got this for my 15 month old, and she really likes it. There is not any small parts that come off or anything, so unsure why. Maybe because it is wood, and if they chew on it paint might flake off? This is my best guess.

I haven't had any issues with it coming off. I believe the use the same kind of paint that's used on BBQ's.

I don't wash it in the dishwasher. I have not had any paint flaking or chipping issues. �

I wouldn't say "easily" but I DO have one that is chipped. It's not impossible.

It's weighty, but not enough to withstand the push of a toddler. The weight is evenly distributed, so it will not tip over on its own. That said, the paint on mine is chipping off. They are less than a year old but look as if they are ten years old. Besides the chipping, they are faded from sun exposure. I'm NOT a fan.

I only got it about one month. It is pretty good now. No chip. When istalling, my husband scratched the side a little bit with some hard tool. You could see that the paint is not thick but pretty stable.

All the paints can chip if you rough handle them or put them in the dishwasher. Id stid with the stainless steel one if that worries you.

If there is a chip in the paint it will rust. We got covers to protect them.

The other answer seems to have got a bad product, or they changed their coating process at some point. I don't know the technical details, but mine has a very good finish, which, after more than 3 years of use, has not worn, chipped, or scratched very much at all. There are some small exposed spots that appeared after dropping it, but they have not caused any flaking. There is some slight fading where parts rub together or where it is handled most often, but you have to look for it.

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