Why the Original Stapelstein® - Responding to Dupes

Stapelstein® is setting the standard in play with unmatched quality and purpose. We acknowledge the presence of alternative products in the market that are aggressively promoting to be more budget- friendly while appearing to offer similar benefits.

The key distinguishing factors include:

1. Manufacturing: Our products adhere to the highest standards in production and are proudly made in Germany. In contrast, there is a lack of transparency regarding the production location and methods of other alternatives.

2. Material: While alternative products claim to use the same EPP, the consistency and potential presence of toxins are questionable.

3. Modular System: Stapelstein® offers a comprehensive modular system where all products are compatible, fostering an ever- expanding play experience and allowing users to build a cohesive Stapelstein® collection. In contrast, single products lack any relation to each other and cannot be used together, limiting their versatility.

4. Purpose & Giving Back: Stapelstein® operates as a purpose- driven brand, focusing on making a positive impact, unlike profit- driven copycat brands.

5. Sustainability: Our products are manufactured in a climate- neutralised production facility in Germany, promoting sustainability. In contrast, alternatives may be made in Asia, potentially lacking the same environmental considerations.

6. Real People: Stapelstein® boasts a fast and reliable service team in the US, with no automated responses. In contrast, other alternatives may not provide human contacts for customer interaction.

7. Original Story: Stephan, the founder, is the visionary behind the brand's mission and design, creating a new category in the industry. This stands in contrast to me-too brands that merely imitate Stephan's idea without the same originality and innovation.
