Fantastic blocks! December 16, 2008
Gosia (Lincoln, NE)

Fantastic blocks! They are bigger and more bulky than other brands, it seems. It only makes it easier for children to build structures that will actually last for a while. A castle that my 4-year-old daughter built using these and the standard unit set is still standing after 3 days even though it's on soft carpet and in the middle of the room where we walk all the time. I would recommend buying these with the standard unit blocks, this way you get 100 pieces to work with. Very cool details. Seem very durable and have wonderfully smooth corners. The only thing is that you have to be careful with the box - when filled with blocks, it is very heavy. The fact that these are natural color is also great - they look clean and beautiful. I love these blocks and would recommend them to anybody.
Excellent Addition November 26, 2008

This is an excellent addition to a basic wooden block set. Our daughter has loved playing with wooden blocks since she was 3 years old (she is now 4 1/2). We added these architectural blocks to her basic set and they have allowed her creativity to expand. The blocks are smooth, sturdy and durable. They have done a great job in holding up to the demands of a preschooler and we would definitely recommend them.
Blocks: Architectural and unit block sets September 15, 2008

These blocks and the unit blocks are an excellent product, well made. They were a present, but similar ones that our children had were loved and cherished. Buy both sets.
Great toy-Poor shipping! January 20, 2008

The toy is great, my 5 year old grandson who loves construction, building things and all types of construction vehicles loves the blocks, but he didn't get them until 2 weeks after we needed them! Please think twice before using DHL shipping.
A great choice if you're looking for high-quality blocks January 19, 2008

These are beautifully made blocks, well finished without rough edges or other problems. And blocks are one of the best toys out there for small (and not-so-small) children to build creativity, spatial reasoning, and the beginnings of mathematical thinking. The price on these is extremely fair for the quality, and much better than many I've found. A five-star product from a five-star toy producer.
