Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Toysmith Zen Garden
Customer Review: Exactly What I Wanted
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this gift for my boyfriend who is going into law school. It was partly a gag gift, but I really did think he could use it to relax when he gets overly stressed. He already loves it and has used it a ton. I love that there are two rakes, and the rocks are appropriate for the size of the garden. There is quite a bite of sand, and it does spill over the edges a little bit when you are using it, but it isn't a huge deal. I can see where other people might have had problems with the base, but this one is just fine and there have been no leakages. I also love the size of this one because it is large enough that you can make great designs in the sand. I had considered going with something smaller, but now I'm glad I didn't because I don't think it would have nearly as much fun or relaxing. I definitely would recommend this for anyone looking for a simple gift that everyone can enjoy.Customer Review: Nice but Watch Out!
Summary: 4 Stars
Once I shook it a little to make it the sand flat, sand started pouring out the bottom sides because the bottom wood had pulled away from the tacks or nails. I poured the sand back into the packaging box for safekeeping and took the box home for repairs (I bought it for my office). I still like this item; the size is perfect, the sand is nice and plentiful and the rocks are nice river rocks, not too shiny or too dull. I didn't expect much because of the price so I'm actually happy with it... I dropped a star because of the repairs I had to make. I just wish I had read all the reviews before pouring the sand in and making a mess!Customer Review: Rather good but.....

It is exactly what I wanted from a zen garden but... Problems i have with it. the Thing isn't exactly deep enough for all the sand they give you so when you move it around it will spill out a bit unless you don't use it all at the beginning. Also mine had the bottom bent out, so I had to seal the entire thing with wood glue so it wont leak the sand all over the place.... Other than that it is at least a good zen garden if you want a real one though just go into your back yard dig a bout 6 inches down at a few boulders and a bunch of 1" to 1/2 " gravel and you have a real one.Customer Review: Great gift

I bought this particular zen garden for my younger sister because she enjoyed the one I had so much. I love the tools that come with it. The only problem I had with mine was one of the small feet came off from the bottom. My younger sister was very happy to receive this, but hasn't said anything beyond that.Customer Review: Nice distraction
Summary: 4 Stars
It's pretty nice and comes with a little book with interesting proverbs too. I'm not sure if it really helps to relieve stress but it's makes a fun distraction once in a while. The only complaint is when other people play around with it, they always spill sand out the box..
