not really made in USA; other brands are better quality The “Blocks and Marbles” set is a much higher quality than these Amaze-n Marbles. These have huge variations in the quality of wood pieces; some are really porous lightweight woods that are rough around the edges (not splintery, just porous and rough, think dried up sponge). The blocks with the holes are really rough inside. The tracks are fine, a denser smoother wood, though the wood stains are a bit muddy. The “Blocks and Marbles” sets have tight grain wood with clean cuts and smoothly…
the perfect gift for ages over 3 yrs. This is a toy I love to take down from the shelf. My 3 and 5 year old boys love it! It is easy to build marble runs, watch your marble go, add on new pieces and they are using their brains all the while. This is a toy that will likely get even better for our boys as they get older and more able to engineer some multi level marble runs. For now, I mostly work with them so they aren’t frustrated if the tower falls over as we build it. Its awesome!
Great for Kids and Parents This is the ultimate parent/child interaction set for my family. I love setting up the runs, and the boys love to help place the blocks and drop the marbles. We all get thrills from the lovely sounds and sights of the marbles dropping.Like other reviewers have mentioned, this set is a little rough around the edges aesthetically, but for the price per number of blocks, I prefer this over the more polished version. Its functionality is wonderful, and we’re having fun.
