There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My strong 9-and-half-year-old boy could not screw this together. Nor did he have the dexterity to get the other parts in place. I had to mount it for him. Moreover, the visual layout of the mounting instructions is terrible and confusing. Very poorly designed mounting instructions. For instance, the graphic for the first steps is located in a very unexpected place, causing me to miss the steps and have to start all over once I thought I had finished.
Other than that, it is a very simple object, pleasant to watch but not much better than wind-up toy and with very minor educational impact, I suspect.
