Pieces are fairly sturdy, treat them right and they aren't that fragile. My son loves to run the marbles and watch them race through the track. Good toy, plenty of pieces to make a variety of runs. Overall a good choice.

Was looking for a sturdy plastic marble run to buy my son for Christmas (he will be 4 in a month) and decided to purchase this one after reading the reviews. Great product, it's sturdy, made of hard plastic, fairly easy to put together, real marbles, and enough flippers and funnels to keep him entertained. The first time my son tried putting it together it did fall apart on him, but it was his design, not the product itself. After a few attempts he realized that he needed extra support on the bottom if he extended the run out. Rate very highly for it's educational value, cost, and durablility. Added note: The pieces were laying on the floor and he stepped on them...nothing broke.

We bought this product through a fund raiser at my 3 1/2 year old son's school. He LOVES it! He brings it out everyday and he and his father build a different route each day. Endless possibilities! It really promotes thinking skills as he designs, builds, and tests each route.

Although the set came with a variety of pieces...plenty for a starter set, finding extension sets for it has been difficult. I do wish there were different additions and accessories for it.

I highly recommend the product and would buy it again without hesitation.
