My son bought this online for a British Literature Project. It came out quite well using the set. It is not very difficult to assemble. But some of the pieces are hard to put together and some come apart easily. Overall, it was good enough for the project. But its not a great toy idea for any kid.

Received as a gift for my eleven year old son, he loves building things. It looked like it would be a great addition to our other architectural building projects. The connections are not precise, making it very hard to fit the pieces together. The pieces fell apart as we tried to add on. Pieces didn't fit plumb or square. The directions are abbreviated and difficult to follow. The tower ultimately met its demise while trying to attach the third bridge span; one of the main towers broke off, snapping the wood beyond repair. Sadly, it's in the bonfire pile for the spring.

I bought this for my twelve year old son as he loves puzzles and models, etc; but this product was very very difficult to do. It says that you have to sand each and every piece before putting it together and we spent hours do this and they still did not fit exactly. We ended up having to use super glue and even then it was unstable. I do not find this product worth it and for us, it was a waste of money because it just ended up in the trash. I bought a few different kids and I regret doing so.

I purchased this for my 11-year old for a school project. The die cut did not work on several pieces so they broke while punching them out. The instructions are virtually non-existent, other than a basic "match number one to number one, etc." The lack of direction caused us to make, tear apart, and re-make several of the elements of this bridge. On a lot of the pieces, the holes/notches were the wrong size and required a LOT of sanding (my fingers are still sore), and once the pieces were together, a lot of them didn't want to stay together (even though the "instructions" said glue was not necessary).

The finished product, I must say, looks really good, but there is NO WAY my son could have done this. It took me the better part of a full day to put it together. I wouldn't recommend it.
