My nephews enjoy playing with these but it's a rather common event that the black sticks just pull out of the colored "balls" on the ends with the slightest movement. I've found that if you build it very high and use more than a very light sheet, the weight of the blanket(s) will bend (and dismantle) what you've built. My nephew will need me to push in some sticks that he can't get 50% of the time. It's a really great concept, but an imperfect implementation.It's not expensive (so you shouldn't expect much) and my nephews really love building with it, but I wish they'd designed the connections very differently so that the fit was snug and wouldn't pull apart so easily. Maybe magnets would help? For example, if you build a structure made of 3 stacked cubes and lift it to move over a few feet, it's very likely that the bottom cube will break apart before you set it down. Or if you build something and throw blankets over it, be prepared to repair the parts where the sticks pulled out of the connector "balls". If that's OK for your purposes, then have at it! If that sounds annoying, then probably none of the products in the same category will work for you.

i was so excited about this- but ultimately, it was a disappointment. its incredibly flimsy for what its supposed to do- the sticks dont stay in the holes no matter how exact and hard you put them in. barely holds the weight of a sheet and if you breathe too hard, it all collapses. i like the idea, but will certainly be looking for something of better quality/-- these were bought to make a semi-permanent fort over my autistic sons bed-- i was able to make this work with the use of other tools and structures. but as a stand alone fort builder, its just frustrating

This is set #2 of these fort pieces. We also own two more sets at another house. Our grandkids love these sets. They are not the easiest things to use and require a lot of adult assistance, but we build amazing things. Today’s creation is a great pyramid

I wish they were a bit stronger.But they are really cool, so many options!I don't recommend for anyone that even have a small child in the house (like under 18 months) they don't understand not to grab or plop down on the side or something. But my older children in the house LOVE it!

Our kids really enjoy building forts with this. We actually had one box and bought another so they could build an even bigger fort.

Really a pain to build anything with these. Me or my wife were building everything for my daughter and I got tired of it, so this toy had to disappear.

So much fun

It was a bit hard to assemble for my boys.
