Everything snaps to eachother without any problem. The straws are sturdy and the connectors keep them together without falling apart. We love building blanket forts/tents, but always struggle with where to secure them.

For the price and stem-esque activity it’s worth every penny. Item looks same as advertised.

The set comes with 300 colorful hard (yet bendable) plastic straws. Comes with a booklet of projects to build. Really brings out her creativity.

Bought this as a bday gift. My 4 yr old loves this. I am a fourth grade teacher and these straws have been a life saver.

Store the connector pieces in a separate concealed ziplock or container (again so baby can't get in and grab) the set comes with a storage bag. Nice storage tote with latching lid.

Even the thinnest bed sheet makes the poles sink. They are very flimsy, like straw strength. The entire thing becomes wonka easily.
