My nine year old and I put this together. The age recommendation is 6+. It has over 100 parts and did take us over an hour to put together. The instructions were fairly clear. Some of the pieces were difficult to push together, even for me. I would say to anticipate kids under 10 needing some assistance. After it was assemble it worked well. It is fun to see the marbles move up the spiral and then zig-zag down the tubes. It was a great opportunity to talk about gravity, momentum and centripetal force. After turning the gears several time they would wiggle loose and disengage or come off the base. They can be reattached, but it can be frustrating. Our set had one missing piece. We were able to assemble it, but the structure isn't quite a sturdy as it should be. I contacted customer service and heard back from them within one day. Overall, we had fun working together and learning more about physics.

Fun project that creates a lot of fun!
We love marble runs and this one was no exception. It is easy to put together and didn't take long. The plastic pieces have numbers on them and the instruction book is very detailed. We had no issues in getting it together. There is a handle and gear system that the kids turn to get the marble back to the top. The gears pop up occasional but are easy to push back down. We had so much fun with this set!
