 Rating: - Great fun, great value!My two-and-a-half year old grandson can play with these blocks for hours and even enjoy putting them away. The key appears to be the proportions. I know he's registering spatial values as he figures out how to fit them back into the box. I know I'll be purchasing the other sets as well since it's such a fun activity to share with him. You can't go wrong. Rating: - Excellent toyToy was received in timing as indicated and in excellent condition. My boys love it! Rating: - Blocks: Architecture and Unit block setsThese blocks and the unit blocks are an excellent product, well made. They were a present, but similar ones that our children had were loved and cherished. Buy both sets. Rating:  - $50 for Blocks? Really?Yes, the blocks are nice. But $50? Give me a break. Overpriced for what they are. Rating:  - Good product OverallWell packaged. fast shipment. It would have been nice if it had been made of Maple (more durable than hardwoods used overseas where the product was made) No false advertizing here just a wish of higher quality |
