It sure does come with 180 pieces. I didn't expect it to come with such an assortment of different tiles, wagons, bases, a stand to create a farris wheel (so the instructions say). The kids love playing with these things. The product does state 3 years and older but the magnets that are built into the tiles themselves so they can't be a choking hazard unless they are forcefully pryed open. We have kids between the ages of 1.5 and 6 and this will keep them busy without a problem. And there's enough pieces that they aren't fighting over the same thing. It seems well made. The only downside to it is that the charge on the magnets are on the wrong side. They stick together flat really well, but the sides, not so much. However for the age range of kids that will be playing with them, it won't matter and it should hold up fairly well.
