Zee 'Little wobbly but entertained my 3 for more than the 15 minutes stated on the box. Lots of falling over lots of spilt water so definitely an outside (or maybe bath) toy. Simple to use and construct' Muddy 'I bought this for my 3 year old. Although complicated to set up the initial design, we did it together which was great fun. He now creates his own marble runs which generally fall over!' Hanski1979 'We bought this for our sons 6th birthday. He loves it. Fantastic was to promote independent construction and play with a great end goal. Watching the marbles whizz down our structure was just brilliant.'

Becca 'I do not recommend this toy, it takes ages to put up n falls down very easily even tho the children were over the age of three. Disappointed children and frustrated adults all round.' Dee 'A lovely idea and my kids have enjoyed it but it is very flimsy and falls apart easily. Our garden is not perfectly level which doesn't help! Overall nice but not sure I'd buy it again.' Wyn 'I bought this to use with families attending Messy Church as one of our activities. Firstly it was great fun, but it also encourages development of construction skills and we found it great to bring children and parents (or even grandparents) together, developing bonds and relationships.'Jim 'My son loves playing with these. He has one at school and kept on about it. One of his favourite presents.' Dad 'Disappointed - the pieces fit loosely which causes it to collapse if child's hand accidentally touches it whilst pouring water in. It also collapses at the slightest of wind (bearing in mind there wasn't much during the heatwave!)' Mim45 '3year old granddaughter loves this, however there seems to be a few of the small tube pieces missing as it was difficult to build the run.'
