    5.0 out of 5 stars Fun building blocks
    Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2022
    These were not bad to put together at all. I just sat down and watched a TV episode and breezed through them, not even having to concentrate on what I was doing. Once put together, they are strong and sturdy. I can stand on them easily and I'm just over 100lbs. See photos to check out how they fit together.

    This was our second set of these blocks. The first set we had for three years and they were still going strong and were my son's most played with toy. He and his friends made mini golf courses out of them, towers, and fort walls. They even used them as cannons or something in a favorite game where they threw them at each other. Repeatedly. We had to make an out of state move and because these take up so much room, I wanted to leave them behind and get a new set in our new place. I wasn't willing to get rid of them completely! They offer too much endless fun and creative play. Somehow, one block from the old set ended up in a box and moved with us, so I took a couple of photos to show what it looked like after years of HEAVY use. In the photos, the old block is on the right (logo and phone number printed on it) and the new block is on the left. The blocks held up really well for all they went through!

    Once we got settled in to our new place, I bought another set. My kiddos enjoy them. My son builds towers all the time for my 1 year old to knock down. When she gets a little older, I'll use them combined with pool noodles to make obstacle courses.

    These are one of my favorite purchases I've ever bought for my son!

    Storage tip: these fit perfectly in a Sterilite 110 quart Clear View Storage Bin with Latch.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy and for all ages
    Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2023
    My grandkids love these blocks (2 yrs old - 15 yrs old)! They are lightweight but sturdy and after a weeks play, they are still the "go-to" for play, especially for my builders. It took me about 30 minutes to put one set together, so 60 minutes or less total. They don't take up as much room as I anticipated. One set of 20 fits in a cloth tote bag 10" x 13" x 15" tall. I'm already thinking about buying another 2 pack for bigger building fun.
