Expert Opinion

  • Dr Claire Lunham, a Specialist Senior Educational Psychologist, supporter of the campaign Smartphone Free Childhood, commented:

    “Creating a dedicated, low-demand space where children can dip in and out of creative LEGO® play is hugely beneficial for the whole family’s wellbeing. Open-ended, hands-on play like this supports cognitive flexibility, intrinsic motivation, and emotional regulation.” Adding: “As a parent of two, it’s incredibly rewarding to see children become deeply absorbed for sustained periods, experiencing the satisfaction of self-directed building and problem-solving — completely free from screen-based stimulation.”

  • Tom Alphin - Author of the LEGO® Parts guide, the LEGO Architect, and general Godfather of LEGO sorting:

    "Overall, I am impressed – the system seems to take many of my insights/observations into account, and it looks like a good system overall
    I do think the general approach – optimizing for families that choose to sort into broad color groups – will resonate with many families”

  • Dr Amanda Gummer, A child learning expert, with a PhD in Neuropsychology and over 20 years experience working with children and families:

    Our testers loved how it created a dedicated, tidy play space while cleverly sorting bricks by size. The children enjoyed sorting pieces by colour and even made games out of it, encouraging creativity and collaboration. Parents appreciated the thoughtful design – especially the soft-close drawers that prevented little fingers from getting caught. The built-in filtering system helped organise bricks effectively, though a few more holes could improve sorting speed.
    Overall, the Brickle impressed our testers – even parents couldn’t resist getting involved! It keeps LEGO accessible, organised and fun, making it easier than ever for children to dive into imaginative play.

Parent Reviews

  • Lucie T, mother of three, Wales

    The Brickle really changed how our loose LEGO was played with. Rather than having to set aside time to ‘get the big box of LEGO out’ to play with, the Brickle meant they could play regularly in shorter bursts.
    The sorting element was a key factor and the children were able to find specific pieces more easily to be more creative with their builds. The organisation element of the Brickle is great and there is something very satisfying (for me!) about sorting the sizes of LEGO. On hindsight I think the larger Brickle would be more suitable for us – we have a LOT of LEGO and with two children there would be more space on the play deck. However, the smaller size meant we could have it in the sitting room with the LEGO being hidden away when we wanted the room looking tidy.
    Overall, it’s a brilliant product which both us adults and our children enjoy using. A great way for LEGO playing to be fun, free, creative and organized. Happy kids and happy parents.

  • Kristian B, father of two, West London

    Hugely impressed with the Brickle's build quality, aesthetic and function! Very sturdy build that despite my children's best attempts has not broken yet! The table top has a very nice feeling to build LEGO on and hasn't indented/scratched in a visible way at all!
    It looked great in the children's room but now we've moved it to the front room and it also fits in beautifully there. All the family LEGO has one place to live now, and that's the same place it gets played with and put away. The quick clearing is fun for my 8 & 4 year olds who are playing with LEGO far more now.
    The children can also leave half-finished projects to return to later (hugely useful with ADHD) with none of the pieces being lost. 10/10 across the board, would definitely recommend!

  • Jacky M, mother of two

    I love the cut and the curves of the wood, and the quality of the design – strong, stable and durable.
    We used to keep our LEGO in boxes, but surprisingly I really enjoyed putting it through the Brickle sorting drawers. It was very mindful. Our daughters find it easier to be more creative in making their own sets and games. They love the drawer for special pieces (and showing their friends!).

  • John A, father of two

    Finally, something that tackles the never-ending LEGO® storage dilemma! My wife and I helped with the initial sorting – we had great fun with that part. Our eldest takes his sets apart, builds other things and enjoys rebuilding his sets.
    They love sweeping LEGO into the holes and seeing the filtering. They also like the playing surface and the lipped edges that stops LEGO® falling off. I should probably have had the stools, as it’s not overly comfortable for adults for long periods.

  • Henry A, father of three, London

    We were uncertain because of the price, but I am so glad we took the plunge. It's become a focal point for the family, especially for my daughter.
    It's so nice to see them play together at it. There are still the odd disagreements, about whether old builds should be broken up. But its taken their collaborative play to a whole different level.

  • Kathryn C, mother of three, London

    My youngest son is the main user as hes a lot younger than his siblings, although now its easily accessible they are getting back into it!
    They're rebuilding old sets but also some of their own creations, some of which have been pretty impressive.
    It's lovely to have him near me in the kitchen. I can be making dinner and we chat about his day at school while he plays.
