I bought this to replace a much loved very durable and stable Galt marble run used by my older children when young. My youngest son (6) wanted a bigger marble run and liked one he had used at school which was wooden (quadrilla - i think). However it was priced at around £80 - outside my budget. So I went for this having read good things about quercetti and being attracted by its colour scheme and size. I had never actually seen one in real life though. My son was really excited opening the large box - he is a very good little engineer (builds Lego technic from plans without help and K'nex advanced sets etc. However, he found this tricky going - the plastic is quite flexible and he pushed it together a bit hard - which caused the structure to fall apart. My husband helped him in the end and got quite frustrated himself. When we constructed the elevator we just couldn't get the pick up hooks to lift the marbles and had to put them on by hand - although it did deposit them to fall down the run at the top. My son was disappointed and has only played with it twice since buying it almost a year ago. He had a friend around who touched it a bit roughly and it fell apart. Overall, not a good investment for us - I think a cheaper wooden one (or the smaller set of quadrilla) would have been better or just more boxes of our old Galt set.

My little boy was and is thrilled with this toy and Marble Runs are clearly his thing. However, the pieces can be a bit tricky to push together and I have had to remove it from the playroom altogether when a friend was round as my son realises you have to be quite careful with it but it nearly got trashed a few times by his friend who couldn't seem to understand you can't lean on it even a little bit while playing. I chose this one because it was so much more colourful than the wooden options but I think they would have been a lot more stable. Still a fun toy but a bit flimsy and impossible to a young child to put together on their own - I felt I needed another arm to support it while I put the rest together, so help will be needed from an adult for younger children.

Building this on a carpet floor is problematical, and it is not a task to be undertaken by a child on his own as the light weight materials mean the constuction falls over readily. In addition, really the builder needs to be able to visualise the route that the marble will take to avoid the disappointment of having to start over.

Marbley Disappointment
This was a disastrous Christmas purchase for our daughter. Limited instructions (pictures) and in the end the whole structure failed to marry up correctly and work. Read more

Fiddly but fund
I bought this form my 6year old son; he loves it.
Personally, it doesn't seem as robust as others on the market and the parts are more intricate. Read more
