A beautiful wooden set, made in the USA. I was worried my boys , age 5, 3, would be too far gone in the plastic and battery dept to appreciate this toy---but they dont' call it a classic for no reason.
they played for an hour and were forced to quit to come to dinner....and then played again in the dark under their tent. I have never seen these two kids get along for such a long stretch of time.
Great item, great price. much bang for buck.

I got one set of these blocks wondering if they would capture the attention of the 6-9 year olds that I work with in my psychology practice. In the social skills group setting, the kids became addicted! They were more creative and skilled building with these blocks than I ever could be. I was surprised and pleased. So much that I bought another set...the kids cheered!

Nice variety of smoothly sanded blocks. Set includes 14 marbles--enough so grandsons will still have plenty if/when a few marbles disappear.
I bought this set as a birthday gift so grandsons (now 6 and 8 years old) can play with this creative and challenging toy at home as well as at my house. They started playing with my smaller set two years ago and it is truly a favorite when they come for a visit.
If the blocks are individually hand sanded, the value for the price is certainly fair. If the blocks are all cut, grooved, and sanded automatically by a machine, then I believe a fair price would be closer to $35.00.

We bought this set for a friend's birthday and it's fantastic. I really love this toy. My 4 year old daughter is fairly interested in her own smaller set of blocks and marbles. She wants me to build runs for her and I'm always working on them long after she has wandered off. She has a 3 year old friend who spends a lot of time at our house and he adores her set--it's the first thing he plays with when he comes over. He doesn't build working runs himself but he does experiment with the building blocks and with sending the marbles through the holes. When I build runs for him, he stays interested for quite some time and will do what he can to "improve" on my designs. This was the obvious birthday present for him. The super set is perfect for the variety and complexity it affords. The extra marbles are also a great idea as they always somehow manage to go all over the house.
