This is going to be a Christmas gift, so I haven't been able to determine how sturdy it is. It is very colorful and seems to be a fun toy.
It will challenge my grandson. I will enjoy watching him create designs.

I purchased this marble run after looking at about 30 others. I liked that it was transparent and had many pcs that looked interesting and fun. My daughters are 3 1/2 and 1 1/2 and they both really enjoy using it. The clear pcs make for extra excitement while the marbles run.
The problem is that there is only ONE bottom pc that allows the marbles to fall through. Otherwise all the marbles get stuck at the end in a blue end pc that has no hole.
Also the marbles are really small (and maybe all marble runs have small marbles) but I don't even know where to get some extra marbles in case we lose some, which we will :)
I am still happy I purchased this marble run but it does need some modification by the manufacturer.

This product has been out for several years now and still is a pretty popular toy. How it works is, you stack the plastic pieces together to make a maze for the marbles to got down. Some pieces are tubes, some are ramps and some have a wheel that the marble spins around on to get to the next section of maze. It takes some critical thinking to get the maze right and the use of small motor skills to get the sections together. It is really fun for home or a classroom. I do not recommend this toy for under the age of 5, however, because of small parts.

I purchased this for my 4 year old son. He loved the idea of it, but it was much more challenging to assemble then we anticipated. Its not like you can just hook it all together and then the marble goes. You have to really plan it out and keep testing whether the marble goes the way you are intending it to go. Also, my son backed up and stepped on a piece and it broke in half, so maybe rubber, as opposed to plastic, would be more sturdy. I was also under the impression if you dropped the marbles at the top, they could find different ways down to the bottom. Not the case. They all went the same way, so much of the structure went unused... although it "looked" like it would be cool.
