    Not what I expected
    I own what I assume is an older version of this product and wanted to replace some of the worn pieces. When I saw the new product the differences were apparent immediately. You can review my pictures and make your own conclusion. I am changing my review to 3 stars in order to remain as neutral as the Amazon system will allow, neither good nor bad, you need to decide for yourself.UPDATE: I edited my review and removed any remarks that might be construed as disparaging to the manufacturer. Two separate phone calls to the manufacturer have verified that this is their product. Also, the photos of the product I received are mine and have not been modified. The product has been retained unopened, rather than sending it back to Amazon for a refund as intended, so that I will have physical proof of my uploaded photos. I'll consider it $20.00 in education on product quality.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2022

    Got this for our 5yo autistic spectrum ADHD son who loves Legos and anything involving manipulation of parts of a whole or whatever. He enjoys figuring this out. It requires more than just sticking Legos together. It involves twisting and trial/error, critical mechanical thinking. I also like that it's wood, not plastic. I also appreciate that this is a "genuine" M&D brand product, you can be relatively reassured for material safety and quality. I've had no issues. I do with the wood was more "finished" or glazed to aid in cleaning but other than that it's fine and seems like it'll hold up for his younger sisters. It's also fun to watch two or more of them fiddle with all the bits, snatching the finished pieces from brother, tantrums over nonsense. But yes, if your kid loves putting stuff together or likes identifiable categories of numerical stuff then s/he will probably find some use out of this at least.
