Review on πŸ”² Quadrilla Vertigo Wooden Construction Set by Hape by Justin Gerrero

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent quality set

This is a great product! We got this for my almost 5 year old son for Christmas because he wanted to walk on marble. We bought it a year or two ago, it was plastic and the parts ripped and broke almost immediately so I was hesitant to spend more money on one but I'm glad I did. The construction of this high-quality, beautiful wood. The pieces are smooth and the packaging is easy to carry to different parts of the house. The set includes a great booklet with lots of designs to create (in addition to your own) and lots of balloons. We had a lot of fun putting together and testing different kits. There are some inserts and boosters that you use to make the set work properly and despite good instructions we often forget to put them in to get our balls popping out of the holes early but it's fun for the kids to check and figure out what we have to do it works, and then of course the joy of playing it through completely. Some of the parts have switches so each ball changes direction of the previous one, which makes the set more interesting as the balls don't come out of the work in the same place every time. The only issue I've seen so far is that it can be a bit wobbly as it's a marble walkway with pieces that fit together and we spent a bit of time putting it together and then accidentally touched by someone to let fall down. It's a pity if you've invested some time, but it happens. I agree that maybe the parts were made to fit together better so there's less chance of accidental tipping. Overall a great set and we are considering getting another (or add-on) for my son. birthday as he seems to be enjoying it. I believe this set will stand the test of time and use so it's worth the price.
