The set was purchased for my son who is 6. I thought he would love it since he loves building with blocks but it is slightly tricky to set up. This means I always have to play with him. Also, I think it does not have enough pieces. I should have bought the larger set and that would have given us more options. He does like running the marbles through the course when it is completed.

Nicely made and good-looking, but too complicated, with too many small pieces, for a four-year-old. The basic set is, I think, too simple to sustain interest in older children (probably requires supplementation by additional sets/pieces--making the toy even more expensive). Building a raceway/maze took a six-year-old a relatively short time; once it was built, he lost interest after feeding a few marbles down the chute. There was no sense of a "race," because the marbles go through one at a time; older kids might be able to stage time trials using a stopwatch. This was my first experience with Fat Brain, and I thought the service was excellent.

Good. The kids seem to like it. Installation was not fun.

Not For My 4 Year Old

While this toy is cool, it's a bit advanced for my 4 year old daughter. Also, if her 2 year old sister comes in the room while it's being built, forget it. It all knocks down like dominoes in 2 seconds of touching. Perhaps it is better suited for 6 year olds.
