My set arrived today and when I went to look at the puzzle the little wooden box fell apart My sansa is also very loose. I was very disappointed in this set

You can tighten the sansa. It is meant for the keys to be loosened and tightened to make different sounds. Mine was an ebay purchase NIB and is just perfect. Don't be disappointed in the set, be disappointed in whoever sold it to you.

Are the beans plastic? Mine vary in size and have hulls and are real, or so I always thought until reading this post! I only have the mancala game and the myorama puzzle so far. They are both great quality. The mancala beans are stored in a pink flannel bag that self ties and keeps track of those pesky beans when not in use. A+ for the mancala game and the myorama puzzle.

Mine are but I got the set on ebay from someone who had bought it on sale so perhaps it changed over time. Mine came in a box with the historical girls pictures.

I just examined my mancala beans with a jeweler's loop and confirmed that my beans are different shapes and vary slightly in size. I swear they are real beans! I'm putting one in H2O to see what happens (my son's science fair skills must be rubbing off on me!)

My box for the puzzle also fell apart, but it was perfect again with a little Elmer's wood glue. the glue gets old on these items. (Even my Felicity's desk fell completely unglued and fell apart one time, but wood glue fixed that also.)

This is one of my favorite doll accessory sets. My geeky musician husband tuned the sansa and it's quite a sight to see him sitting there playing tunes on it. I'll spare you photos of that. But here are a few more photos of the individual items, with dolls (Addy and starearedkid's Traveling Emma, who was visiting 1863 for a day) for scale comparison. Sansa: Mancala game: And the myriorama: The box housing the myriorama is indeed flimsy, and since this is now an older, retired set, it might need some touching up. That doesn't detract from the beauty and playability of the set, which rates an A+ from me. This set does not come up often on eBay and when it does you can likely expect to pay dearly for it.

I received this set some time back. I have everything but the bag and the beans (but Addy and Kirsten used some real beans from the kitchen to play on her birthday). All the pieces are so darling. Addy looks happy playing mancala, and the puzzle is really sweet. I personally had a great time with the sansa, lol.
Definite A+.

I can only review the myriorama and I think it is lovely. It can make an endless combination of scenes and works for many historical eras.
