 What your're really paying for here is the boxDec 04, 2008
By Mrs. Naomi J. Cochran
I chose the Melisa and Doug jacks for my daughter because I wanted to get a good quality set like I had back in the 60's. I was very careful to read the reviews so I wouldn't end up with over-sized jacks where you can't fit all 10 in your hand. These jacks are a little bigger than the ones I had as a kid (I still have them), and they are metal....but the two balls that came with the set are PATHETIC!! They have rough seams in the middle with rubber that needs to be trimmed off, and what's worse, THEY HARDLY EVEN BOUNCE....like, about 12" if you're lucky. The box is just an inexpensive, stenciled, glued together thing that's ok, and there's a little leather-looking cloth bag with a drawstring.

 Not worth the extra moneyFeb 08, 2009
By PamelaNY
I bought these for nostalgic value, wanting to share the fun of jacks with my kids. The balls have seams in them, so they don't bounce straight. Very disappointing, and definitely not worth it.

Mellisa and Doug jacksJan 16, 2009

I purchased these jacks for my 8 year old grandaughter for Christmas---the jacks are great, but neither ball bounces. How can you play jacks, when the ball doesn't bounce? Very dissapointed !!!

 Excellent Classic ToyDec 21, 2008
By monkey lover
I bought this toy for a 42 year old friend that collects jacks. She was very impressed with the quality of the entire set. The wood box and the leather pouch are well made. The jacks are metal and the balls are a good size for competitive play. With all the plastic toys out there - it's refreshing to see this quality paired with a good price.

Do not buy.Nov 30, 2009
By M. Bosma
The ball does not bounce. It just kind of bumps and rolls. So disappointed.
