Excellent product although the directions do get a little hard to understand at times. Takes time to build but with a little patience you can overcome the minor flaws and have a great time!

the erector set came with a great carrying case, but with so many small pieces (nuts/bolts) it would be nice if there was a cover on one of the sections to keep those small pieces contained better. My son has already had so much fun building things and I'm sure will continue to do so for a long time. Was a bit disappointed that some of the pieces were plastic...hope they don't break too easily.

Great quality, but needed a lot of help to follow the directions and to find the right pieces. A product more suited to the higher end of the age range for this item.

we purchased the set for my son's 7th birthday. I realize the suggested age is 8, but I did not want to get a set which would not keep his attention, and he is pretty good with spatial representation. I would have to agree with some reviews that the instructions were sometimes hard to read. I think most of our problem is that we tried to rush through the building process. Also the manual is much better than the one which came with the 1940ish set that my father gave to me. While I had to complete most of our first project. My son kept himself occupied by building things on his own. I feel that this is why parents purchase these types of items for their kids, to foster creativity, motor and thinking skills. My son was very excited to recieve this set and is already talking about adding more peices.
