    It was creative and easy to assemble. It is age appropriate for older or younger. It brought a lot of joy during the holiday season.

    At first my son thought it was kind of girly, conceptually, but once he tried it, he liked it. Still living on the kitchen table.

    My grandson loves this so much. We had to glue in the backdrop pieces as they kept coming out-but that was not big deal. Also, we glued the characters into the little metal nuts so they don't fall out while skating. It is super cute and will be enjoyed for many winters to come.

    Perfect for my 7 yr old! She LOVED putting it together and was able to follow the instructions easily. Once built, it worked perfectly and the quality is good enough to keep as a Christmas decoration for years to come!
