This kit exceeded my expectations in so many ways and my 7 yr grandson is over the moon excited about how big it is. Packaging was top-notch, diagram was easy to follow and the design was great! Highly recommend!

This really helps the kids with being creative and off screen most of the time. My boy loves to show off his building skills to me! I ended up buying 3 start kits because my kids loved it so much.

We received our Explorer Kit very quickly. Have it to my 4 y.o. yesterday during his bday party and as soon as I started pulling it out ALL of the kids were running over to get involved. Kinda old school and too see a handful of 4-7 year olds playing in a fort instead of modern day toys with all the light, sirens and moving parts for my heart. I had five little foremen telling me how it should be built and after a quick demonstration I let them take it on... So awesome to watch the thinking and creativity go into building a fort. Day 1 and it's easily my favorite gift. More importantly, my little boy is ready to start a new building today.

With two energetic granddaughters (10 and 7 yrs) we were looking for a sustainable, collaborative building kit for the whole family. Make-a-Fort has been a brilliant find. We've had elaborate dens, forts, homes for their cat, a jewellery shop with secret tunnel, and most recently an enormous “Chief Dancing Examiners Desk”, at which they sat completing self-made Certificates of Achievements for their ancient grandparents' dancing efforts (to Mama Mia songs).

We were very happy with this product. It was purchased for our grandsons for Christmas. I helped create our first "fort" with my son and daughter-in-law by modifying a design that we saw online so that it fit into the space we had. Our fort had several entrances, 2 towers and a room with a ceiling towards the back that even I could sit in. It was quick and easy to assemble once you got the hang of it. The kids loved the result and we are all looking forward to seeing what they can build with it.

My kids are very much into the technology and i wanted to get them away from this. i saw this and instantly i knew this was the thing that might be able to draw their eyes away from the screen. Its perfect. they love helping build it and setting their cushions and lights up in it and also they love colouring it in. it has ticked all of the boxes. was worried about the strength and how it would hold up. the cats jumped on it and it still remained in tact! i had one little query when the goods arrived but that was resolved immediately. cannot thank the customer services enough for the quick response and resolution

Our grandchildren are delighted with the kid. Today we have built a small coffee and sweet tasting shop.
This product is a good idea because all children like to take shelter and hide in small buildings!
And the online purchase process and post-purchase service works perfectly.

These fort kits are awesome! Well constructed, and such a great value! My 9 and 13 year olds have been making forts with them, and having fun bonding together! A perfect gift!

Put it this way. In the space of 24 hours, 3 different dens were built from the 1 explorer kit. My daughter has always loved building dens and this is incredible for it. No mess, easy to set up and easy to pack away. Also, if I'm honest, it makes building the dens for her so much fun as well as you know this is a den that will stay up. Absolutely amazing kit.

My son loves this thing and it is a fun activity to do together. When he is a bit older I think he will be able to start making his own creations but as a 4 year old he still needs help. I purchased one explorer kit. Unfortunately in the chaos of Christmas we lost some of the black connector pucks and make-a-Fort kindly sent us replacements. Very happy with customer service.

We bought for our almost 4 year old son for Christmas and he loves it! Easy to put together, easy to store and he plays for hours. My only complaint, and I'm still giving 5 stars, is that it's made out of cardboard and somewhat flimsy. He really wants to climb on it and it won't hold any weight. It would be awesome if a future one was made of something a little sturdier. But that said, we love what we have and will enjoy it for a long while to come! Thanks!

Amazing Product. My 6 year old loved his Christmas gift! We had a slight issue with a missing item within the package and this was dealt with immediately by customer care. Very happy with both the product and the service.

Bought 3 for 3of my grandkids, they were a hit, they are going to have so much fun with these. Delivery was fast and ordering and service excellent. I highly recommend

I bought the kit for my 3 nephews - aged 3, 5, 7 - and it was the biggest hit of a gift I’ve ever given. They spend all their time playing in the Fort. I’m so happy with the kit and the customer service received. I will definitely buy this again for my other nephews when they’re old enough to build and enjoy these forts!

We gave our children (4 and 1) an Explorer Kit for Christmas, and they are thrilled! Since our kit was missing one panel, I contacted customer service, and my issue was handled and resolved to my greatest satisfaction in no time! I have never experienced such competent and excellent customer service! Absolute recommendation for purchase!

We got a kit for Christmas and my 4 years old loves it. The mounting system is intuitive enough that he was able to build his own house. We had a minor issue with our kit and customer support went above and beyond expectations.

This was a last-minute purchase after I saw an ad on Facebook. I wasn't sure my 8 & 10 year olds would still be interested. It was BY FAR their favorite gift. I got two sets. They spent a couple hours building and helping each other, then filled their fort with pillows, blankets, lamps, twinkle lights, and their other Christmas gifts! They're already talking about taking them to the basement to make a bigger creation together. (I also plan to send them to their sleepover this week to play with friends!)

Fantastic! The kids said repeatedly that it was the coolest, best gift they received (and they got several other great ones!) and they’re already asking for more expansions (they started with 3!). They spent hours transforming the rec room into a giant fort/tunnel/maze, and they’re quickly learning how to make things stable and how to problem solve. They’ve been super creative already and are excited to have a sleepover and movie night in there with their cousins. 10/10 Recommend! - Homeschool mom win! Successfully got them off their iPads! 😉

We purchased 2 Explorer kits for our 4 & 6 year old grandkids. We put together one kit on Christmas morning and they LOVE it! Can’t wait to make a bigger creation with them using 2 kits.

Our son has been building new caves from all sorts of furniture, cushions, and blankets every day for some time now. We partially have no more blankets and cushions on and around the couch, as well as chairs at the dining table. This gift is a blessing for the whole family... so simple and yet brilliant. I set it up very easily... without any issues... and I'm really not skilled in it. Thank you very much! We love it!

We’re using the fort kits at church. We have used or will use them for indoor snow fight forts, laser tag walls, mazes/tunnels for activities. We’re using them for kindergarteners through high school seniors.

I just want to say MAKE A FORT's customer service is simply amazing. I had a shipping issue with Fedex.. no prob with Make a Fort... and Bernadette was soooo helpful and kind. TOP NOTCH COMPANY

I purchased the explorer and creator kits as a Christmas present for my niece. I will be delivering them to her next week and spending the weekend building forts with her. Just want to say that the customer service was astounding. I had accidentally typed in a wrong digit for my address. John answered my urgent phone call and followed up with multiple emails to assure me the issue was resolved. I received the kits a few days earlier than expected. Super excited to have this fort building adventure with my niece!

I ordered an Explorer Kit for our grandson for Christmas. I was pleased to receive confirmation that it had been dispatched. When I did not receive any further updates from the carrier for five days, I became very worried, and contacted the carrier, who informed me that they did not have my parcel. It was in a complete state of panic that I contacted the Make-A-Fort Customer Support Team, who assured me that they would conduct a thorough investigation, which was reassuring. They regularly kept me updated, and ultimately sent me a replacement, which arrived promptly, for which I am eternally grateful.

The product was superb. Easy to use, grandchildren loved it. Get some battery LEDs and some glow stickers etc. I cannot express how much they loved it. I got two kits. Not only easy to put up but critically packed down to very flat boxes that slid away so not taking up huge room (hardly any). Genius!

As a tiny suggestion (and this in no way reduces the 5 star rating one bit) consider better delivery options. Allow me to choose a next day/nominated day delivery experience. But dont take that as criticism - just a suggestion.

Actually too early for exact reviews because I bought the kits for the great grandchildren for Christmas gifts. However they did ship on time with updates on delivery. Soon after the Christmas Holidays I will be able to give better reviews? Looks like a great idea for family bonding with the children.
Thank you so much very much.

The kids love the Explorer Kit - lots of fun and creative play. Additionally, I ran into some issues with delivery of the kits and Make-A-Fort dealt with them very quickly and very much to my satisfaction.
