The marble run features a completely analog design that utilizes a mechanical lift to start marbles flowing down the interior track. Each unit comes with 25 [glass marbles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lusine-coasters) and six [modular track elements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/track-concept) in two styles to accommodate a touch of customization. The unit is enclosed with a glass topper to allow for clear viewing of the hypnotic marble action, which also keeps things dust-free.
