Because nothing says it better than real play in motion.
Upon first seeing the balance beam, my little toddler baby exclaimed, “big puzzle!” and after we put that big puzzle together, I walked on it showing the use as a balance beam. Probably confused my little one, but it’s now considered a big puzzle that can be walked on!
There are two slight imperfections, one of which kind of concerns me, but not very much. A portion of edging on one of the boards wasn’t sanded as smoothly as the others, and a small section where it wasn’t sanded smooth had a pokey piece of loose wood which I peeled away, so now it’s better but not as smooth as the edges of the other boards. I am hoping the edge doesn’t catch on anything causing the piece that’s not flush with the board to become loose and peel away.
And of less importance, merely affecting appearance, one board has an indentation where something may have been dropped on it.
Those two minor imperfections aside, my baby and I are enjoying our new big puzzle balance beam! I was contemplating buying more boards to add to it, but four are more than enough to start out with using.
Side note: before ordering, I contacted customer service and received some of the best, thorough and kind responses I’ve ever received from any company, on any matter. The quality of communication made my decision to place my first order with them an easy one. Now I am planning my next order!
Thank you for the thoughtful and in depth review! We're pleased to hear that although there was some damage to your beam, that the overall experience has been an A+. :)
While we appreciate you not making a big deal of the imperfections, smooth edges are something that we pride ourselves over and we apologize for missing some on your balance beam. Please email us at info@radchildrensfurniture.com with your order number, a description of the items damaged, and any relevant photos so that we can get replacements sent out to you ASAP.
Thanks again for choosing RAD and providing us with the feedback. We appreciate you being a part of our community. Enjoy the 'big puzzle!'
I purchased this balance beam set after I got the jumbo climbing triangle + ramp from RAD last June. I love how smooth and sturdy all their products are. Very durable and easy to clean. This beam matches perfectly with the previous products. I noticed how my toddler was having fun in many different ways. He even used them like skis all around the floor. Thank you for a great play set!
We are all very happy with our balance beam. . . i bought it with the two year olds in mind but all ages (up to four) are using it . The wood is beautiful and safe and i sometimes use it in my Social Emotional class to entice the children in the door!

If you’re reading this and considering this table…BUY IT! I’m so pleased with the quality, it’s heavy! The responsive and helpful team at RAD kindly left my order unfinished so that I could apply stain and I’m pleased with the result. It arrived so insanely well packaged, that alone must have taken them hours. This small, USA business doesn’t take any shortcuts. They define craftsmanship!
This is wonderful for my two-under-two. Easy to assemble and plenty of room even for a third toddler! Very easy to move around the kitchen as well (i.e. not too heavy) but still very stable. I added a stair tread traction strip to the edge of the top and the step to give kids a little more traction when wearing socks. 🙂 Picture taken before traction was added.
The shelf is perfectly designed for my baby. He can easily access his toys on display. The product was easy to assemble. A high-quality shelf with rounded edges, making it safe for my baby.
The build is well thought out for easy assembly and they provided a hand tool plus a bit for powered drill which was a novel addition from my experience with mailed assemble at home furniture.
The shelf itself is sturdy, smooth sanded for safety, and looks really nice in our space.
The capacity is great - with our shelf currently holding 40 books (about 16-17 clearly visible covers and others set behind for rotation) - and feels like it will last for years to come as we see our little one grow into an independent reader.
Certainly a product I would recommend and makes me more likely to look at buying their other stuff in the future!
Loving this Montessori shelf! The quality is fantastic sturdy, beautifully made, and perfect for organizing toys and materials. I’m already planning to order another one because it’s just that good!
