Goldmen Electronic Black Grand Piano Review

Disappointed with the quality

"I knew my little one would love to have her very own piano because she loves to the play the big one at grandma's house. I saw this and thought it would be perfect to put under the Christmas tree, unwrapped with a big red bow. She was very delighted with it on Christmas morning, but I was a bit disappointed with the quality. The bench seat and the piano case is made from very brittle plastic that can break into sharp shards if you're not careful. The seat is poorly designed because it can topple easily. The legs just "stick" into holes in the underside of the piano and are not secured in any way that would prevent them from just falling out if you lift it up to move it. The legs also come in two pieces, which just "slip" together and can easily come apart in the hands of a rambunctious little one. The listing was also not clear on the fact that it is an electronic keyboard, NOT a true piano, so it needs batteries (sigh - another toy that sucks down batteries). Granted it is an electronic toy, but it would be great if it came with an AC adapter so it could be plugged into a power source. Toy manufacturers too easily and readily produce "stand alone, battery powered" toys thinking that kids would enjoy them more but I think it's irresponsible to add another product to the consumer market that uses batteries, generating more hazardous waste."
