Oh boy. My kids are going to love opening up their Amish furniture on Christmas morning.

How's about a positive recommendation for toys then?

Duplos (I think) are made in Canada. For toddlers.

Lots of music and music equipment is made right here in the U.S.A. - guitars, amps, mics, etc. Finer-quality orchestral instruments are made in Europe and Japan.

I recently bought a couple of professional studio microphones for recording piano from CAD out of Cleveland, Ohio - based AND made there. They were the same price as a competing Chinese-made type (called "Perception" fittingly enough), and have better specs. Better quality, same price Had I just bought the Chinese ones without looking further (for that and other reasons) I would have been stuck with an inferior product.
