I discovered this company while looking for really good toys, something that is somewhat lacking at times. This is a building set but not just any building set. The pieces are not interlocking like Lincoln Logs, not click together like Legos, not stick together like Tinker Toys. Each plank is made out of pine and are 1 inch by 4 and a quarter inch by a quarter inch. These planks make up the sum total of what you have to work with. There are no nails, glue or any form of putting together except gravity and balance. It is definitely a skill exercise. The planks come in seven different colors so that the building is unique and interesting. When you are ready to dismantle it, you simply pull a few planks out until the whole thing topples.

What these sets can build is up to the person doing the building. They sell the sets in 40 pieces to 1000 pieces. A new set with 200 pieces is coming soon. All sets come in….a pine box, naturally.

I was unable to get the recommended ages for this. But it is very simple but difficult. These would not be for very young children.
