My kids seemed to take to it (6 and 9) w/o any problems or pieces that wouldn't cooperate. Have not had any broken pieces or ones that wouldn't fit together right.

After a quick demonstration, my 5 year old is very adept at building on his own. . . and his 3 year old brother is fascinated with watching the marbles go around! Adult aunts and uncles have had fun with this too.

My 6 year old son really likes this

My son has had this set for several years. My four-year-old nephew always played with it when he visited, so we got it for him for Christmas. He seems to be enjoying it, but his civil-engineer dad has played with it even more than he has!

The whole family likes to create new runs. Very enjoyable.

The marble run is very sturdy, so the 2 1/2 year old is able to build a run with minimal help. It is very engaging for the kids, and the adults have enjoyed setting up intricate runs, too. Our only disappointment is that it didn't work with another set we already had, so we weren't able to use the two together to make an even bigger set.

I bought this item for my 11yr old grandson for Christmas. He loves it and so do his sister and younger cousin. It was simple to set up and is very durable . I highly recomend it .

My twin grandsons AND their parents loved the marble run. There were no istructions, just a picture on the front, so it's helpful to know that the towers will collapse unless you set up several additonal legs to give it stability. You also need to know which pieces will let the marble go through and which ones block travel. It's great fun watching the marbles go through the loops and twirls.

Oeverall, I would not buy this marble run again. The pieces did not stay together well enough. The quality did not warrant the price tag.

This is fun for the whole family. With it's endless possibilities the marble run never gets boring.

This is really fun. Way more fun that I expected. Now I wish I would have gotten the extension package. We've had a great time with our son putting this together in new ways and watching the marbles, counting them as they go down. The only wish I have for improvement would be a case to store it all in so you don't lose the pieces. Although I could easily buy something for that.

This was a big hit on Christmas. The 2,3,and 6 year old all loved dropping the marbles in and watching them go. A bit hard to assemble though and wish there were a few more pieces to let the run last a bit longer. All in all a good purchase and gift for the price. Custmer Service was also fantastic on ordering.
