This is a cute idea, and it could have been a great toy but it's just too flimsy. First, the rods are the thinest, cheapest plastic. You cannot drape sheets or blankets over the structures as they are too heavy. A super thin painter's cloth might be okay. The box top shows a red and a yellow plastic sheet over the structure, but that is not included in the box. Secondly, the connections are so flimsy that if the child bumps it while climbing through his structure, it will fall apart. Kids love building forts! But alas, they'll have to continue using the kitchen table.

Great activity for 5year olds during brutally cold winters
This was a perfect Christmas gift for my twin 5 year olds! I ordered to boxes per the customer reviews, and from my sister in laws review since I bought this for my nephews years ago. There are arrows that point to the top hole so you can properly align your construction... great for adults, but a little tricky for 5 year olds to follow and understand. The construction is sturdy if built well, but the balls do get heavy if you try to skimp on your construction. Have had zero issues holding 3 or 4 flat sheets on top of our forts. It's been a perfect activity for all of us, as we have been cooped up inside during a brutally cold Iowa winter! Mom loves building new designs every day and the kids disappear for hours in ther imaginational rockets, castles, igloos, tunnel systems, and forts! (They also have a facebook page for inspiration and reviews)

Very fun activity for a small group of five year olds. One understood it right away, two of them understand it but need more processing time, and couple of them don’t get it but enjoy it all the same. Wonderful opportunity for the children to figure out how to work together playing on each person’s strengths. This is followed by great creativity of dramatic play typically involving wolf cubs and bald eagles.
UPDATE: I caved in and bought another set. Now that it was their third time working with these, a couple more children have figured it out. So four kindergarteners understand it and are clearly very intellectually satisfied while constructing with it. One is still determined to force it to work with brute strength and trying to bend the sticks to fit ( doesn’t work, but wow, they’re durable) and the remaining child has discovered the satisfaction of holding the sheet of instructions and dictating how the playing will ensue ( today it involved a den of wolf cubs and some humans with a vegetable garden).

So now I see the importance of reviews here on Amazon. The negative reviews on this product nearly made me decide to not order this for my little girl. I eventually did after going back and forth so I decided I am going to address some of the negative comments in my review so that others can take some comfort in their decision if they decide to order this.CLXGreat product, Fun to build and fun to use!!!!
Reviewed in Canada on November 20, 2017
Negative #1 - The structure is not strong enough.
Response #1 - The structure if built correctly is plenty strong enough. It can easily support the recommended bed sheet and in fact can support heavier fleece blankets as I have done this. This is a toy fort building kit so being realistic will help it is meant for sitting in NOT sitting on.
Negative #2 - The sticks do not hold well.
Response #2 - My experience is that the sticks hold just fine. This is a kit that is akin to Lego blocks and what not. Meaning they are meant to be taken apart and rebuilt to form different structures. So there is a fine line between having the sticks hold so well that they won't come apart and having them so loose they won't stay together. I think they hit the fit pretty well.
Negative #3 - It takes to long to build the structures.
Response #3 - I can't believe this is a common complaint but I guess it depends on the user. It took me less than 20 mins to build the Igloo structure and that was with my 3 year old "helping". Also this is a toy that is meant to be taken apart and built into different structures so building time is also play time.
Negative #4 - There are not enough items to build the included instructional structures.
Response #4 - This is just wrong unless you received a box missing pieces. There are 4 included instructions for structures and all 4 can be made with the included set. There is a 5th instruction included that clearly states it requires 2 sets.
Negative # 5 - Hard for children to put together.
Response #5 - I fully agree with this one, especially for young children. However it does make for some good parent child play time. I found building these things to be a little more interesting than playing with dolls. Not that there's anything wrong with that. LOL. But my 3 year old also had lots of fun helping me build these structures so its a fun experience to do together. Win-Win.
Negative #6 - The sheet does not fit the structure.
Response # 6 - Of course it doesn't. I'm in my 30s and when I was young we used to build forts the old fashioned way. A few kitchen chairs, maybe near a dresser and then a couple bed sheets. The sheets didn't fit that either. LOL. This is just 21st century fort building for kids and with a big enough sheet, maybe king size or with 2 sheets you can effectively close in the structure.
I am not sure if I left anything out but feel free to ask questions and I will respond. I know reading this review it would be easy to think I am in some way affiliated with the maker of this product but I can assure you that I am 110% not in any way connected to this product other than buying it and playing with it with my little girl. I felt I should write this review as there maybe others on the fence based on the negative reviews. I don't want to belittle others experiences, I am sure their negative experience are rooted in fact but it was my experience if you take the time to clearly read the instructions and follow them to the letter then the finished product is a good solid structure that can make for hours of playtime for your kids especially if they like to hide under blankets as most kids do.
