Giant Toppling Tower with Bonus Rules

I was going to make my own but I’m glad I purchased this instead. The wood is attractive, smooth and the dimensions are very consistent and accurate. I read some reviews that complained about smell so I was quick to evaluate for odors. I didn’t notice any strong odors with tropical wood version. There is a faint smell from areas where small natural knot holes were filled with wood putty if you hold it to your nose. I expect that will subside and the knot fills were done nicely from what I can see (it is absolutely normal to have knot holes filled in a natural wood product like this). There are some blocks that are not a single wood source (they are glued together like a butcher block). I don’t see this as a problem, that is a common wood-working technique. Overall, I’m glad I didn’t waste my time cutting and sanding my own wood. The product is appropriately priced for the quality. The carrying bag seems to be appropriately durable also.
