This all worked great for me, setup was easy, and everything worked fine. My little nephew had a lot of fun with it over the years. At first he was a bit young but a few years later, now that he is 5, he is having a lot of fun attaching things to it and lifting them up and whatnot. Although I think the majority of fun he got from a magnet I gave him which we attached to the end of the crane so it can pick up metal objects.
The bad bit is that it's very flimsy and considering it's so tall, the stand broke with hardly any force, so now it's done for. It is however only a tenner so... pretty good value for money I suppose.
