The only complaint I have is that the turnouts can be a source of derailments, and to be fair, that is one of the big complaints you'll read about online. There are some online hacks that will help resolve the issues, and while you shouldn't have to modify a brand new product to make it work well, I still consider this a pretty good purchase.
I've since gotten track from other manufacturers as well as Flex track, and while those are nicer, they are not as newbie friendly.
Also, disassembly was a piece of cake - no issues, which I was afraid of.
For those of you complaining about trying to get all the wheels on the rails, use the retailer sections!
I wish more track plans had been included.
