    Kit was well made and contained plenty of pieces for whatever build you want to make. Instructions might require parental help, but not for long. Igloo build was a huge hit for the kids. Exemplary customer service. Would definitely order again

    This has been a great gift for my boys! It's an awesome STEM toy.
    They are 6 and 4, and they love making forts. The parts are a little more difficult to assemble for my 4yo but my 6yo does really well with them. They require some strength at times when the poles are inserted into the balls. Not all of the holes are the same size, and some are impossibly small. However, there are so many pieces, and options for holes, that most the time the balls can be twisted to fit just right. I'm the type of parent that doesn't mind if my children are given a little hard work when they are playing. It helps them down the road with problem solving.
    The sturdiness is not an issue. According to some of the reviews, people claim that it can't hold up a blanket. I think these people are just incompetent when it comes to building a structure. I had no difficulty helping my 6yo build this large fort and many others, and it has held up a sheet perfectly every time.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Not easy to assemble, but fun for kids
    Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2021
    Updated: a year later, it is definitely easier. When you learn how to orient the balls for the correct holes to line up, it’s a much smoother process. Still can be tough to assemble, but now that the holes have been used and stretched out more. It’s easier.
    And still so fun for the kids!

    Original: This is NOT easy to assemble. The holes are not all evenly spaced, so sometimes you will get three poles in at right angles, and then have to disconnect all three poles because there isn’t an available 45* angle. Even having the etched hole facing up, the angles don’t always work.
    On top of that, it requires a ton of force to get the pole all the way in the balls. My six year olds can get them part of the way in, but not enough for it to stay.

    However. When it is fully assembled, it stays well. Even if one pole gets bumped out, there is enough support for the item to keep its shape. It even holds its shape with a sheet thrown over it. There are a ton of things to build with it, and my kiddos seem to thoroughly enjoy it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product, Stellar Customer Service!!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2024
    Three to four stars originally only bc while it worked, the fort itself wasn’t sturdy. I emailed the company for tips on how to build and once we determined it wasn’t user error, they immediately sent me a new set! Not only did they do that but they followed up a few days after delivery to make sure the new one was satisfactory- it was! The new set was easier to build and was super sturdy.

    It’s so rare these days to receive customer service like that, especially with online purchases. Thank you so much for your outstanding service! 10/10 recommend.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Fun for kids but there's caveats.
    Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2023
    I have mixed feelings on this purchase. While it's fun for my daughter to play with I'm a little disappointed in the product at this price.

    First, DON'T waste your money on the glowing version like me. Trust me what seems like a measly $5 isn't worth it unless you want green to begin with. The glow factor is laughably weak and dissipates really fast. You essentially need a high power flashlight directly against it to get it bright enough to see in a dimly lit room. In the dark it's _barely_ visible after being in a normally lit room. The glow feature is 100% useless.

    Second, the pictures in the listing are misleading with the kids shrunk to make the product appear larger than it really is. Read the measurements and you'll realize you're not building a fort with just one kit. Do the math and you'll realize the kids in the picture have 6" diameter doll sized heads. False advertising at it's best. This leads me to the price, which I almost want a second kit to build stuff that's actually cool for the kids but $35 is a LOT for some plastic sticks and balls that are pennies each to produce. This kit would still be profitable at $15, let alone $35. This is way too expensive for the several dollars they've spent in plastic. Plastic has gotten more expensive the last few years, but not _that_ expensive.

    Now I'll get to what's good about it. The difficulty to assemble people claim is probably weak mothers and grandmothers that lack the strength to shove the rods in the spheres. It takes a bit of force but you'll quickly realize this is necessary as they'll quickly loosen to a manageable amount of force needed. If they were easy to shove together at first they'd fall right out after they get used a little. This was a good idea by the manufacturer when my 2yr old can pull them apart easily after only a few hours of tinkering with build ideas.

    When it comes to the durability this is also what makes it not so sturdy. The pieces have a decent amount of flexibility to them. This is great to make the pieces themselves near indestructible, but that flex is going to make your kid's dream castle sag without structural integrity. Think of the flexibility of a pool noodle. I tried putting a fairly thick blanket on her new "castle" to have it topple immediately. Switching to a black satin sheet off my bed to block out the light so she has a hidey hole was a fine remedy.

    Will I buy a second set? That's a strong maybe because I want to build bigger and more intricate things for the kids, but I'll be doing it knowing I'm paying way too much for what I'm getting, which is $5 in plastic with a 700% markup.

    Don't think I'm negative overall on the product, I just want people to know what they're getting. It's smaller than it appears. It's flexible so curb your expectations in what you'll build, but it's great fun for those of us that grew up building forts out of mom's couch cushions and want to do the same for our little ones. It's hard to put a price on that.

    I wanted this to make a fort for my 4 year old but this was to much for me but a kid older then 4 that wants to build things with these would be great for me I just want a fort that just pops up or something for me but this is a great product just for kids who like to build
