Forts would collapse when kids would play in.
We bought this set for our grandsons age 3 and 6 who love making forts. We liked that it had a lot of pieces that could be made into different configurations. We built 2 forts but noticed that as we built it the pieces would disconnect even though we followed directions and made sure to hear them click when connecting them. When the boys crawled in more of the pieces would disconnect if they touched it slightly. The fort eventually collapsed on them after just a few minutes. Very disappointed and we returned it.UPDATE: The manufacturer has been emailing me offering to pay me to delete my review. Customers rely on reviews to be informed when making a purchase. I personally find them helpful. I stand by my accurate review of this purchase.

Fun for builders
This is a fun set for kids who like to build indoor forts or tents. It allows kids to be creative and to build any variety of a fort.

Actually parts is 132 - the other 176 "parts" are small connectors for the ends of the sticks
Advertising is deceptive. There are actually 132 useable parts not 308 because 176 of the “parts” are the very small caps you must push onto each end of the sticks (the connectors tend to fall off the sticks). These tiny connectors (3/4” long) are fairly fragile. We played with this toy once and 2 connectors broke inside the cubes. The assembly is prone to swaying because the connectors want to swivel in the cubes. This could have been a very fun toy – the company did not need deceptive advertising and should have built the connectors onto the sticks. I post maybe 2 reviews a year and felt this needed unbiased feedback.

Fun toy for the creative child
This is a fun toy for the creative child. There are so many different ways to design and assemble small forts. There are also some confusing statement from the manufacturer that have caused me to remove a star. For example, on the Amazon page it says that you can use it without the connectors for a tighter fit, but in the instructions that came with it they said to never do that as it may damage the ball connectors. So, which is correct?You have to make sure the connector ends are put onto the sticks tightly. If they are even a little loose then it will cause the structure to be considerably less stable. It can be hard to get them all the way on when holding one and inserting the stick, due to its small size. But if you put the connector into the ball and then insert the stick you can get a good deal more pressure and get it fully into the connector.Given that the connector ends are so small and easy to lose, I chose to just glue them onto the stick ends so that they will always be there and the sticks will always be usable with the balls. After doing that the children had much less frustration and enjoyed creating and playing with the things they built.

Don’t purchase
It’s not sturdy at all! When u place even a sheet over it the entire structure will tilt and soon after collapse. Customer service is crappy.. I requested a refund and instead they sent me a replacement which I absolutely didn’t request or want, when I tried to submit for a refund after returning both products it I kept getting a message that stated replacement order already placed so basically I paid for an item that I never kept… I gave away free money to the seller!!!

Ordered a second set!
We have built several box forts and threw some blankets on it, also built a tent over the kiddos bed. Pretty durable, easy to assemble and disassemble and provides hours of fun and imagination. We gave our kiddo a set for Christmas and just ordered a second so we can go even bigger.Haven't tried anything outside yet as it is winter here but will definitely build some things outdoors come warmer weather. Highly recommend!

Total waste of money
Bought for my kids and it won’t even hold a sheet without collapsing 😢🥺 we’ve built multiple forts in different ways and the whole thing just collapses. I feel like the price was wayyyy too high for it to literally not even work at all.
