Crazy Forts Standard edition, Purple, 69 pieces, Fort Building Kit for Kids, Indoor or Outdoor STEM Playhouse Construction Toy

I have seen other review stating the quality was good but that was not my experience. The rods would not stay in the holes. Maybe we got defective connector balls but the thing would not stay standing. The rods would not connect within the holes or if they did it was for a matter of seconds. The holes were for the most part not tight enough to maintain the rods and keep the structure standing. This was a chgristmas present which left my children crying. Immensely immensely disappointing. Have sought a refund and recommend that the quality control is improved

My kids love den making but are a bit rough. I thought this would be ideal from the reviews but it barely held a sheet without wobbling! As soon as they touched it, it fell apart and collapsed. I had to dismantle it after 20 minutes of fixing it and were all very frustrated.

Not worth the prize. Cheap plastic and connectors are made of polystyrene. This is going to last 5 minutes.

Open the box and the strongest chemical smell come out from the box was soaked inside with something stunk the whole house out ..

The picture you see is two boxes worth of connectors which is not what I thought I was getting. Maybe for older kids who are happy to build on their own but for my 2yr, who want you to come in with her, it isn’t big enough.

Not stable, doesn’t stay together. I used a lightweight sheet on top and it just fell apart. Not a good buy in my opinion

Kept fading apart. Sent back to Santa for the elves to quality control and replace with another gift altogether. Sad.

The kit will definitely be loved by any of the kids using it, however, it’s extremely unstable, despite building the suggested structures. Me and my daughter (4) built a cube together her to start which barely held its own weight let along with a thin king size sheet on top. Then we built a rocket exactly as the instructions intended and it couldn’t even hold its own weight up. It’s very important to make sure the sticks are put into the correctly lettered hole otherwise it will pop out or fit incorrectly. We then built an igloo which was probably the most stable structure, but the weight of sheets caused some sticks to pop out as it flexed Worth the money? Yes, but only because my daughter loves it. 5 star rating? Definitely not. This feels like something you’d buy for £10. The ball joints are inconsistent as some holes are small and others too big. The recommended structures barely hold their own weight

Good product

Lots of fun and allows imaginative but buy two if you want to build the bigger items in the plans or you will come up short.

Maravilhoso! Minha filha faz lindas construções! Ótimo para criatividade!

So now I see the importance of reviews here on Amazon. The negative reviews on this product nearly made me decide to not order this for my little girl. I eventually did after going back and forth so I decided I am going to address some of the negative comments in my review so that others can take some comfort in their decision if they decide to order this. Negative #1 - The structure is not strong enough. Response #1 - The structure if built correctly is plenty strong enough. It can easily support the recommended bed sheet and in fact can support heavier fleece blankets as I have done this. This is a toy fort building kit so being realistic will help it is meant for sitting in NOT sitting on. Negative #2 - The sticks do not hold well. Response #2 - My experience is that the sticks hold just fine. This is a kit that is akin to Lego blocks and what not. Meaning they are meant to be taken apart and rebuilt to form different structures. So there is a fine line between having the sticks hold so well that they won't come apart and having them so loose they won't stay together. I think they hit the fit pretty well. Negative #3 - It takes to long to build the structures. Response #3 - I can't believe this is a common complaint but I guess it depends on the user. It took me less than 20 mins to build the Igloo structure and that was with my 3 year old "helping". Also this is a toy that is meant to be taken apart and built into different structures so building time is also play time. Negative #4 - There are not enough items to build the included instructional structures. Response #4 - This is just wrong unless you received a box missing pieces. There are 4 included instructions for structures and all 4 can be made with the included set. There is a 5th instruction included that clearly states it requires 2 sets. Negative # 5 - Hard for children to put together. Response #5 - I fully agree with this one, especially for young children. However it does make for some good parent child play time. I found building these things to be a little more interesting than playing with dolls. Not that there's anything wrong with that. LOL. But my 3 year old also had lots of fun helping me build these structures so its a fun experience to do together. Win-Win. Negative #6 - The sheet does not fit the structure. Response # 6 - Of course it doesn't. I'm in my 30s and when I was young we used to build forts the old fashioned way. A few kitchen chairs, maybe near a dresser and then a couple bed sheets. The sheets didn't fit that either. LOL. This is just 21st century fort building for kids and with a big enough sheet, maybe king size or with 2 sheets you can effectively close in the structure. I am not sure if I left anything out but feel free to ask questions and I will respond. I know reading this review it would be easy to think I am in some way affiliated with the maker of this product but I can assure you that I am 110% not in any way connected to this product other than buying it and playing with it with my little girl. I felt I should write this review as there maybe others on the fence based on the negative reviews. I don't want to belittle others experiences, I am sure their negative experience are rooted in fact but it was my experience if you take the time to clearly read the instructions and follow them to the letter then the finished product is a good solid structure that can make for hours of playtime for your kids especially if they like to hide under blankets as most kids do.

Muy divertido. Educativo. Desarrolla la creatividad y la visión espacial. Un acierto para cualquier edad. Se monta fácil y puedes hacer tus propias construcciones.
