Great for a young learner!

Assembled well, and functions correctly. Wasn't difficult to assemble at all. My 3yo who is enjoying science and space currently loves it. Just has the planets themselves, no moons. Some of the planets are on the same ring as eachother, so the planets don't orbit exactly how they actually do, but it is enough to give a young child an idea of what is happening outside of our skies. The arms are plastic that hold the planets, but feel sturdy enough. When wound up the planets don't orbit nearly as long as I had hoped, only about 5 maybe 10 seconds. For the price, I have nothing to complain about though. I would buy again for a young learner, I would get something else for someone older though. Due to installing the gears yourself this also definitely needs adult assistance to build for younger kids also.

Satisfying model, requires some assembly skill

The media could not be loaded. Probably the most affordable orrery model on the market and it offers a good degree of educational value. It takes some careful attention to detail (read instructions thoroughly) to assemble the model properly, and some average model making experience is required to work with the many small parts. That said, it works well enough and should last if you're careful not to overwind it.Agree with other reviewers--this is not a rugged play thing and needs to be handled delicately.

Difficult assembly

Every piece had to be assembled, including the stickers to go inside each planet

Not worth it, very poor quality material

I purchased this for a homeschool class I am teaching and it is extremely delicate so forget about any type of hands on with the class. You wind it more than it rotates and it is loud. Disappointed that I didnt have utilized money spent on this on something the entire class could have utilized instead of just looked at.
