Toys and Games Reviews of EZ-Fort
Customer Review: Neat concept, but falls apart easily
Summary: 2 Stars
My kids got this as a Christmas gift last year. They were thrilled when they first received it, but quickly became frustrated because their creations would fall apart with the slightest touch. I've worked with them try to make sure that the tubes are inserted firmly into the connectors, but as I would adjust one point another would come loose. Draping a gossamer sheet over the frame is a delicate task, as pieces come loose as this is done.
Perhaps the problem is because my kids try to build somewhat complex structures. But the pictures in the booklet suggest that this can be done, and in many different locations - in the yard, at the beach, etc. I can't imagine doing this anywhere but inside the house on a hardwood floor during a period of relative seismic quiescence.
Still, my kids occasionally become interested in it again, and they have gotten over their frustration with having to repeatedly build the same thing as it comes crashing down 3 or 4 times in the process. And they do enjoy it quite a bit. It teaches them the concept of building a "foundation" and reinforcing the roof with crossbars, and they have been very creative in the things they've attempted. I just wish it were just a little sturdier.
Then again, maybe we simply received a defective set. I see dozens upon dozens of positive reviews here, and I can't imagine that would be the case if everyone's set fell apart so easily. But this has been our experience, and hence this negative review.
