The Swinging SticksKinetic Energy Sculpture - Desktop Version

I read reviews like it's my job, so I'm going to add what I feel needs to be added here based on reading the reviews and purchasing this product hesitantly:1) It works. Amazingly. Doesn't stop, works like a charm. If it didn't work, it is most likely user error, and the seller even reached out to me with tips and tricks if I was having issues (I wasn't) and videos on how to fix it if it's "off".2) Packaging was great. Pretty high quality and keeps everything safe. Even directs you how to lift it out of the packaging the safest way!3) It's not loud. No idea who said that in these reviews, but it's absolutely silent.4) It doesn't move fast usually. One bad review complained it moved too fast - mostly it's fairly slow but occasionally it'll loop quickly for a little bit.5) The metal rods feel high quality. The base and overall weight is light, but it looks very high quality to me.6) It's bigger than I expected, actually. Very pleased with the size! Since it's the "cheap one" (not the $300+ real one), I expected it'd either feel cheap or be small. It's really neither.7) Most importantly, it's mesmerizing. I could watch this all day! I'm really excited to get it into my office when I return. Definitely will start conversations! This thing is worth the money, in my opinion. Extremely pleased with my purchase and glad I didn't let the negative reviews out me off! :)

I liked that it was well packed. Being the "Toy" version I thought they would cut corners on quality and things like packaging but this was not the case. I actually would not want it any larger than it is. The base is plastic but of a good quality. It does not look cheap at all. I probably would have bought the one with the black wooden base but to be honest I don't think this looks any different from a few feet away. I have seen these for years and hesitated buying it because of the price. Now that it is in my office I see that it is well worth it!

I know some people on here have talked badly about this product but I have had an excellent experience.This sculpture is amazing. For 7 months now it has been continuously running and always spinning in various locations around my home. It brings me joy and motion and my fish loves to watch it spin.It's a fantastic conversation piece. Everyone who sees it asks me about it. And I've only changed the batteries 1 time since I've owned it.The only downside to this product is that it's very sensitive to being on a level surface and wind. I noticed it behaving strangely the other day (I've been staring at this for almost a year now so I can tell if it's moving in a unnatural way) and I tracked down the issue to the draft from a indirect fan in the room.So do with this information what you will but I would highly recommend this product.Update, I bought this in 2021 and it still swings around like new nearly 3 years on

The media could not be loaded. Shout out to Kevin Samuels! Ever since I saw this I wanted one, 3 years later I got me one. I had to return the first one I got because it wasn’t swinging correctly. This is the replacement and it’s doing what it’s supposed to do! I’m loving it.

It’s as advertised. Decent quality, works great. Wish it had an on/off switch but everyone loves staring at it. It does not, however, feel like something that should cost $100. It’s fairly plastic-y and cheap feeling. That being said it’s attractive and looks nice. Just nice - not $100 nice.

expensive but really worth it.. works very smooth and interesting to watch

Got this for my work cube to have a little motion in my mostly-empty office.It’s a bit larger than I was expecting which I think is a good thing as all the moving parts are large enough to have a decent heft to them.It is wonderfully unpredictable to watch, and is virtually silent. Haven’t had to change the batteries after several months of letting it run 24/7 which is great.Also a great conversation starter. “Hey, isn’t that the thing from iron man?”

Don't know why, but I saw these on a video and was drawn to them. Seems to have a calming influence. Desktop version is the perfect size and after a few moves they've found their home on my bookshelf where I can listen to music or read and watch them. Very happy with this purchase.
