5.0 out of 5 stars Interactive and engaging building kit for children
Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2024
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

5.0 out of 5 stars Updated: Much better than I expected!
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2023
Originally 3 stars: I love the concept of children being able to build a frame that can then become a blanket fort. I was looking forward to being able to keep my dining room chairs and sofa cushions where they belong. But…. But. The plastic rods are VERY hard to push into the balls.

I read the reviews that warned of this so I knew it would require adult help to put the frames together. I was not expecting to be unable to do it at all. Even my husband, who works in construction and is very strong, had trouble getting those things in. Between us we broke several rods trying to get them in. And about half the holes we did finally get in stretched in the process to the point that the second time they were used they wouldn’t stay together. They have been sitting in a bag in my deck for two months now, completely forgotten by the child who was so excited to receive them but can’t play with them because of how difficult they are to use.

All of this considered, as much as I wanted to love these, I cannot recommend them.

Update: the company IMMEDIATELY reached out to me. Apparently some of the sets Amazon ships are older? Anyway, they sent me a new set and it was MUCH better! As in my husband was able to quickly erect a fort my daughter and son to play in. I still struggle with it, but I’ve got wrist and hand problems from an old over use injury. Still too difficult for little kids, but I can definitely see a strong 6-8 yo being able to manage it. I am very satisfied with the new set we were given.

I would give five stars, but it is rather flimsy and the pieces come apart easily. Not a huge problem, just a little inconvenient

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.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Improved review and GREAT customer service. Happy I tried it again, and would get another
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2021
Amending my first review, which was very low. I bought this for my 8 yr. old g’son for Christmas. He tried to put it together, and it fell apart, would not hold the camo tarp I made for it, so I returned it. The seller, (or perhaps the designer?) fully refunded my purchase, then offered to give me another, giving me the best assembly tips for a successful fort. Yesterday we were finally able to visit to put it together! We followed directions exactly, and it was sturdy enough to hold the tarp. Yes, it was a bit difficult at first, but he got the hang of it within a couple of minutes, and finished the project himself. I loved watching him problem solve on his own. We disassembled it so he could take it to his cousin’s house to set it up. They decided on a different design of their own, and spent the entire day in it. I’m thinking of ordering another set so they can expand. This was the best Amazon customer experience I’ve ever had, and I would definitely recommend this. Be patient, you’ll be glad you tried it. It can be set up inside or out (I wouldn’t leave it out in inclement weather) and your kids will be spending the rest of the summer in it.
