At first I was skeptical that I could expect a decent product in spite of the more favorable price. But I was not disappointed: The streets, houses, etc. are very beautiful and suitable for children drawn and are ideal for recording, etc. Also discover the very beginning I could not have similar chemical smell notice. This product is manufactured according to my research in Belgium, I, given the overwhelming mass of other products "Made in China" really great find! Thickness buy recommendation !!!
