This was a gift for my miserable father in law who we struggle to enthuse with anything. Despite his initial misgivings, he did build it and was so pleased with it that not only did he send us a video of it in motion, he also thanked us!

Bought the same gift for my own father and he loved it so much he has since bought further products from the range.

Absolutely brilliant, so much enjoyment building the marble run. Once finished you get a real sense of accomplishment when you see it working.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas, he was too busy to do it until the other day . He finished it last night, and it is absolutely beautiful . The wood is great quality and it goes together with such precision - he's an engineer , so he really appreciated how perfectly it's made , and how well it's designed. It's very intricate, it's not for somebody who wants to chuck something together , it requires patience and care , but that's the beauty of it.
He followed the instructions to the letter, diagrams not words, and each stage was perfectly sequenced .
He glued a few of the pieces just to make sure that they held , but they all slot together so well that it was just an extra precaution.
I read a few reviews that said the pieces and the wood are flimsy - the wood isn't at all, some of the pieces are delicate but not flimsy.
It's so clever the way it works, it's fascinating to watch the balls go round the system.
Great value for money , real craftsmanship , I shall be buying him another one, different model, for his birthday.
Now we have to decide where to put it , because it deserves to be seen!

Brilliant, kept the boyfriend busy for a few hours and is very satisfying once built

Bought this as a present for my partner and he really enjoyed making it. I wanted to get him something different from his usual model kits and this was definitely a big hit, will be looking at other versions of this next time I need to get a present for him!

The product is great quality and includes everything you need to make the model. The instructions included are clear and understandable and the finished product works perfectly!

My grandson assembled this in 2 hours getting the most enormous pleasure out of this construction kit. I will definitely be purchasing more.

Haven't made this yet but is definitely looking good quality and instructions look like they should be ok to follow.

Absolutely love this,fits together perfectly,great fun to do but you need a little patience but well worth it

Received quicker than expected

Brought as a gift for 76 year old ex-engineer. Absolutely amazing the way it all fits together & works! Recipient kept busy with it for ages. Very pleased with it.

Bought as a Christmas present for my husband. He put it together over a few days, but if you worked on it continuously it could be done in a day. Pieces are well machined. It seemed to be easy for him to put together, and the quality of the final product is very good. I think I'll get him another one next year.

Got it for Christmas for my son. He loves it. He says it took him 7 hours to build....7 solid hours of constructive entertainment. He was trying to quit smoking. This took his mind off the smoking for 7 hours.

I bought this as a gift for my crafty 16yr old daughter and she loved it! Took some patience and a pair of strong hands to finish. Only took us two days. Now she wants something bigger and harder LOL

Really loved building this with my 12 year old son and 6 year old daughter. Both kids were able to get involved in the build and we equally excited about the finished product. I was nervous about breaking the cut outs but they were much stronger than I was expecting and nothing broke. We loved this so much that we are looking to buy another one in a different design.

Found this to be a great way to while away a few hours. The whole thing is kind of pointless,and you probably won't use it much once assembled, but that doesn't take away the fun of building it.
Previous reports of breakages whilst building are more an indication of a lack of mechanical sympathy, rather than being indicative of a flaw in the design. Take your time and be respectful that you're working with thin wood and there will be no issues. Press too hard in the wrong places, or use bad techniques when extracting the pieces from the frames, and you can't be surprised if you damage something

This was pleasant to assemble; very clever how the small bits of thin timber can all slot together. Took me about 5-hours to make, on and off, but when completed, it was an anti-climax. Turn the handle and watch some balls roll around. What now? Not nice enough to keep as an ornament. Not interesting enough to keep playing with it. And can't be easily disassembled to use again years later. Will probably end up in the bin.

Bought for my 14 year old done for Christmas. I (mean we) finally got round to making it 4 months later. I’m pressed with the quality of this product. It is well cut and parts remove from the board very easily. They are well engineered and fit together perfectly. Some steps require close examination of the instructions to make sure you have things the right way round but this just adds to the satisfaction of building it

It looked good in the video, but I didn’t think it would be as good in real life. But it was better! Really good fun to make

Nice model to build. The parts are laser cut into plywood and all were accurate. Not difficult to build, if you are patient. Took me a week, taking a few hours, I'd guess 7 or 8. Nice to watch operating.

Brought this for my partner for he’s birthday. He loves it he’s love things to do with marbles can’t wait to buy him the others

Gift for my 10 year old nephew-I was told it was too hard and couldn't finish it.

Helps using up time during lockdown. Arrived early, well packaged. Marvellous working model.

Fun product to build and demonstrates a number of mechanical processes for children such as gears and cam shafts, amazingly all this achieved with precisely laser cut ply wood.

No problems, good seller, fast and serious

Bought to keep me active during Covid 19 and I really enjoyed building this item. I have given it to my grandson and he really enjoys the two track system. It is not a complicated build and over several hours ending up with a fully working model. Great product.

Bought for my 11 year old son, who assembled it in one day. Quite an expensive diversion, therefore, but he really enjoyed making it, and the final product is fun.
