Quadrilla Marble Railway, Basic Set

This toy is one of the best things we've gotten for our kids in a long time.It is made of solid wood pieces which can be fit together in different patterns, allowing marbles to roll down the track and through tunnels.It sounds very simplistic, but this is its charm!Our six year old son played with it for two days straight when he got it for Christmas, and soon his two older sisters were helping think of new ways to configure the marble run.I was impressed because Quadrilla is very sturdy when it's assembled, which avoids the frustrations we sometimes see with racetracks or Lego buildings that fall apart.I give this set five stars in all areas because it teaches physics, develops imagination and fine motor skills, and teaches children that not all fun toys have a joy stick, batteries or flashing lights.We plan to add to our basic Quadrilla set in the future.We already bought extra marbles in various colors to make "teams."

I bought this set for my daughter's 4 years old birthday, she absolutely loves it, she can play it for half an hour or even longer, even my wife enjoyed playing this with us. And all the kids who come to play in my house also love it. I am planning to buy more expansion sets to make it more fun.

This is a great toy. My son got it for his 5th birthday, and was initially uninterested. His 7 year old sister started playing with it, and within days it was the most favored toy in the house. We got several of the add-on sets, and particularly the red teeter-totter along with the long rails (need these to make the teeter-totter work!) really add to the fun. I would highly recommend this as a great gift for any child between 4-7. It's also very durable and should last through several sets of kids.

We love this after it is all set up. But, when my little boy (age 4) leans over to get another marble started or whatever, the whole structure falls down. It gets a little frustrating/ iritating. It the table MOVES, it's down.

We are thinking of glueing it all together. :)

It's OK-I secretly wish I bought the $15 one at Target. It snaps together tight because it's made of plastic.

But, it is a cool toy and the marbles racing down the track and through the helix are just mezmerizing to all of us!

Our family recently discovered the Quadrilla system and we love them.

The quality is excellent. The blocks are solid wood, but for strength the rails are a multi-layer plywood. Another thing we were impressed by is how interesting they are to build and play with, not only for the kids, but the grown ups as well.The running marbles are very fun, and the kids invariably end up hopping up and down with excitement.

One critique is that this basic set is really too small to stand on its own.There are only a couple configurations that you can make with this few pieces.While they are still pretty cool, I'd have to recommend the Quadrilla Marble Railway, Twist and Rail more.It has more pieces (including the teeter-totter!) and won't leave you wishing so desperately for more.
