Set comes in a cotton net bag for storage. Age 3+

All natural kiln-dried wood. Stacking "pillars" are generally 1.5"-2" wide and 2.25" tall. Most rounds are 0.75" thick and 1.75"-3" wide. The two long pieces are 6- 6.5 inches long.

Comparison of sister sets - Branch Wood Bricks #23398 vs. Locust Wood Bricks #23365:

• Both of these sets are made in Europe by Glueckskaefer, but they are made of different types of wood. Locust Wood Bricks have a thicker/rougher bark, and Branch Wood Bricks have a thinner/smooth bark that is darker in color.
  
• Branch bricks come in a set of 36 pieces, primarily rounds and pillars that are great for stacking. Locust bricks come in a set of 26 blocks that include many fun, unusual shapes. 
  
• Although the Branch bricks set has more pieces, the pieces are generally smaller, and the set is significantly lighter (3 lb) than the Locust bricks set (5 lb). Therefore, the Branch bricks set has a lower price.
• Of course, they work great together, too!
