    My grandchildren were really excited when they succeeded to put this together. I am excited to see them try original designes.

    This is a quality product, designed to be challenging enough to keep my 13 year old grandson busy for hours. The possibilities for creative play are great. It is well designed and sturdily constructed. I would like to see more videos available to inspire further possibilities for building chain reactions
