I have purchased your construction set many times. It is perfect for the owner of a parot they love chewing them up and they're very easy to hang in cages. As I mentioned not just for children.
I would recommend this to a friend!

My son received this product as a gift and while building the different pieces, we learned that we were missing one of the flat 2 hole pieces that is required to build the airplane. The only item we can't build and my son really wants a to build the airplane. Surprised that a piece was missing from this product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

My son (4) loves this his sister (9) wants to play with it too. I wish it had more construction ideas and easier to follow instructions for a 4yr old. But he still loves it just needs a little help sometimes.
Pros: Durable, Easy Assembly, Entertaining, Fun, Interactive
Cons: Poor Instructions
I would recommend this to a friend!

We loved it! Our grandson loved it and immediately opened it and built a machine with it. His parents were so pleased, as was he. We will likely look for more advanced packages for him in the future. A great constructive toy!

Disapointed with a consistent lack of quality

Bought the Construction Building Set for use by a 4 year old, but I was disappointed by the lack of consistent quality amongst the parts. While some of the screws and nuts went together easily, many did not. The problem is clearly that the threads were not properly cut for too many parts. I could probably correct these problems if a tap and die set were available but such is not the case. For a building set for a young child to be success and not a frustration all parts must go together easily, but with that not being the case the set I purchased can not be used.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great toy, but...

As a stand-alone set, it's wonderful and my 5 year old loves it. However, I recently found out the hard way that it's not compatible with another wooden tool kit that's also a Melissa & Doug product. The "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" wooden tool kit to be precise. My son received both of these for Christmas and I already combined them thinking that the pieces would work together since they were both made by Melissa & Doug. It's pretty disappointing and now I have to weed out the Mickey Mouse misfits. Also, even the pieces from one set don't always work together if the threads aren't 100% carefully aligned, and even then it's anyone's guess which set of holes on the cube the screws will go all the way through. It's a good way to promote fine motor skills and problem solving, I guess. Bottom line, I'd recommend it to a friend, but only if their four year old is strong enough to force the wooden screws through.
I would recommend this to a friend!
