Fantastic build for our 8 year old. Lots of fun
This is the 3rd item we have bought from this company. It took few hours and the instructions were very easy to follow and the end result was amazing. My son enjoyed the challenge of building it. It was very good quality and well structured. We also had personal name on it. Plus hours of fun afterwards. I highly recommend this item as the others we bought.

great to work with kids needs supervision
this is great for aspiring engineers of ages 10 and up. okay it needs adult supervision and help throughout, but when finished it gives a great sense of achievement. also very Green and non plastic with working parts. My Son and his girls 10 and 11 loved the time working together on this. also helpful if the adult has some building and diy skills. put the work in and enjoy the rewards.

Tricky but fun
Received this as a gift. Built it with my 6 and 9 year old daughters. It's a bit fiddly in places and the 6 years old mostly was in charge of getting all the right pieces, whilst the 9 year old completed most of the build herself (with help from me and little sis'). Its definitely a bit fiddly in places and if you're heavy handed in using it when built then it's easy to damage. I don't understand the reviews showing the run in tatters, or breaking with one marble passing through. There's simply not enough mass in a single marble to do any significant damage. We couldn't get the funnel to catch the marbles without some modifications, but I have to admit, part of the fun was working out what wasn't working and how we could make modifications to resolve it (a bit of extra paper to increase the funnel size slightly). Overall we had a blast building this and my kids have not left it alone. I've had to keep giving them chores so I can get a chance to play with it.

Waste of time and money
This product is hard to assemble , not suitable for children , I myself struggled to build it and it ended up in the bin when I got to number 42 of a 81 number instruction , wouldn’t recommend it absolute waste of time , took two adults to try and figure it out and when i tried to put the marble in the little bit I did build didn’t even work properly !!! Marbles are solid though at least that’s a bonus

Not durable
Possibly the worst item I have ever purchased on amazon. It ripped after the first marble went down. We glued the ripped paper and sent another marble down. It ripped further so more glue applied. The weight of the marble caused parts to be dismantled each time the marble went down. So far after spending such a long time to assemble not one marble went down successfully. As its made from paper it isnt durable for a marble run. Had I realised this i would never have purchased it. It will go straight in the bin. After spending my money I am left with nothing to show for it. The concept is good just not the quality of paper used to build it. How do I get a refund for this?

Terrible quality
Took forever to build. Only to find out the cardboard is too flimsy and marbles don’t roll smoothly.
