Great
This arrived in perfect condition and looks just like the pictures. All the pieces were cut well and popped out easily. They are made from a very light weight wood and very fragile, but plenty of extra of the more commonly broken pieces are included. The instructions were fairly clear and assembly was easy enough. All of the pieces fit together quite snugly and it's remarkably sturdy once it's all together. This is a very neat set, it was a ton of fun for us to assemble, and worked significantly better than I was expecting.

So far so good
A fun wooden 3D functioning puzzle board. When completed a marble that is released at the top most portion of this puzzle will maneuver through a maze of specially positioned pieces that you have assembled until reaching the very bottom.If you encounter any issues along the way the directions also include a section on what to do if "fails" in certain areas and how to correct it.Several of the pieces are also present with extras as I imagine these are the pieces that would be easier to break.The wood is thick enough to build a sturdy structure and can withstand moderate Force with the exception of this tiniest pieces which obviously you would have to be careful with.The directions are mapped out in groups and sets where you will put one piece in place or several pieces put together and set aside while making other props for the puzzle.It is basically held together by slits and slots in the wood and screws hold pieces of the props together. It comes with its own screwdriver.There are axles and there are three pay attention to this one as they are all three different lengths. A file also included for those little spots that did not detach from part frame well.Currently and as pictured that is completed through assembly 6 and (sub)1&2. There are 15 assembly groups most of them contain subsections which explain how to put together the tracks, and other special areas.The difficult level is rated at 5stars and states that it will take approximately 120 minutes to complete. I believe those to be accurate statements under normal circumstances.I'm taking my time with it and it is a good way to relax, brain train and otherwise destress.

So much nicer and more stable than we were expecting
Exactly as pictured, easy to assemble. It includes extra pieces in case you're not as careful as you could be while putting it together, which takes some skill because the pieces fit really well together. My small hands were not a problem as much as my son's big fingers, so we were glad for some leeway.Once assembled, it's incredibly stable, and much nicer than we were expecting for the price.

Good for teens and adults
This is a great marble run toy to assemble for both teens and adults alike. It uses thin and lightweight wooden pieces that fit together easily. Once assembled, it uses a manual hand crank to bring the marbles to the top where it will start rolling down the track. The assembly instructions were clear, and I appreciate that it came with some extra pieces in case certain pieces broke. Overall, this was fun to assemble with my teenage nephew, and I would recommend it.

Screen free fun
I'm collecting fun items for a Christmas/Hanukah celebration. We play a fun game and the winner gets to pick a prize.Each year I seem to find better and better options. The game has been for kids but the adults keep wandering in the room and saying, "I want that!"So I may have to find an adult game to give them an opportunity for some of these fun prizes.I want to encourage them to do things off screen, so this particular item is perfect. It has the lement of a pinball machine so it can still feed their need for a game, while also giving them building skills and reading instructions etc. Some kids realize how much fun they are having by doing something like this and it changes their life. That's what happened with my hubby and models. He made one with someone and then ended up making lots of them as a teenager.As an adult this enticed me too, so maybe I'll have to help the child who wins this as it looks a bit complicated for kids.A+ for designing something so fun!

Fun to build
The media could not be loaded. I have wanted to build one of these wooden kits with my kids forever. Finally got the chance and we loved every minute. It took me 14 year old and I about an hour to build it. The instructions had lots of step by step photos and were easy to follow. Once assembled, we had to do a little bit of tweaking to get the marbles rolling smooth on both tracks, but that's to be expected. We enjoyed running it for a while watching the marbles roll down. There is no glue but certain parts are screwed together, mostly the parts attached to the base. It's surprisingly sturdy! I'm glad I got to have this experience with my daughter!

Good materials, poor directions
This is such a cool thing and the pieces fit together well. The directions are all right but really minimal; the pictures are tiny and the text is poorly translated to the point of being nonsensical (which really shows when there are so few words). A project this size deserves more detailed steps.

Frustrating but rewarding project
Putting together this wooden puzzle was both frustrating and fun. Some of the pieces were really tricky to fit, but once everything was finale in place, it was much so satisfying to watch the marbles run through it. It’s not something you finish quickly, but if you’re into building things, it’s worth the effort.
