Review: It looks and performs amazingly - Great value and the appearance is awesome. My brother put it together in less than two hours (engineer) and he really enjoyed it. His kids are learning more about our solar system with this so it ticked off three items: birthday gift, interesting item, and educational tool
Review: Best - Loved this. I got it for when I was spending some time watching my 7 year old nephew on a visit. I’m 56. This took a while and it was a challenge for both of us. For me it was seeing the subtle illustrated instructions. Some pages were very difficult. My nephew said “I’m 7 and you’re 56 and you can’t do this!” So cool though. So satisfying to see how the gears work. And it definitely helped on wrapping your brain around the moon phases. We did this in a cluster of 1-hour sessions and we finished it as I was getting ready to leave for the trip home. Anyway everyone who saw it said it was so awesome and my nephew and I had a great time building it.

Super fun set! My son (11) put it together in 2 days with no issue. Our cats did unfortunately misplace two important pieces but they were easy to find and replace online.
