As previous reviewers have pointed out, the container is just a folded cardboard box with stickers on it. It's nice to get all the books (hardcover) at one go. This makes an especially nice gift for the young aspiring reader.But do *not* buy this set for the box -- except possibly as "wrapping" for the initial giving. The pictures can be a bit deceiving: the dark color makes it look like you are getting something more than just cardboard. But you're not.
She carries the entire set around the house with her, and will not let anybody else touch them. We purchased this set of books for our 9 year old granddaughter's Birthday. She has not put them down since. She was thrilled to receive them. The best gift we ever gave her.
The books are great coudn't of enjoyed them more. The box is cheap and not really worth having.
Guys, relax. Yeah, the box is made of cardboard, but you're not paying any extra for it. In fact, you're paying $20 less for the set than if you were to buy each book individually, in which case you wouldn't have gotten the box or stickers anyway.I can sort of understand the frustration for those who bought this set as a collector's item, but your arguments would have made more sense if you had to pay extra for the box. For the rest of us who bought it for the sake of getting all 7 books at once, this set was a smart purchase.
Why should this be any different. I wasn't expecting anything more than cardboard for the price. Other boxed sets of books come in a cardboard case. Nothing in the description says the case is wooden, and there's no reason it should be wooden. If you want a wooden case for it, have one made yourself.The books, of course, are fantastic.
