Really FUN! Well-made and easy to assemble, and fun to play with again and again! And it was helpful to load - only the boxes - several times, to make sure they would all pop out, and then finally fully assemble. The only thing I would suggest is purchase a bit bigger gift bag than the one enclosed. There's a nice sleeve to keep the box closed, and I found it just a bit tricky not to have the sleeve pulled off when removing from the small, enclosed gift bag - and opening before you really want it to. Again, a really fun gift idea!
