Considering what you can get for £20 these days, those is a little bit disappointing. OK as a fun toy or novelty it's fine.The issue is with the quality of the fixings, as they are the cheapest they could find.It comes with both rubber bands and a small chain, but the chain requires a lot of tweaking to get it right, and by the the screws are either loose or over tight.For half the price, this would be OK, but not for the current cost.

This model is designed to demonstrate tensegrity, which to some extent it does, but I was disappointed by its build and appearance when constructed, disappointed

First the bad - it came with no instructions and although there are some on the product page they don't fully reflect the parts I got in my box. For example I got an extra small chain, a couple of hooks and my wooden supports didn't have the notches in them that the ones in the product shots did. I'm guessing all this is because they've included the option to use a chain in the centre rather than a rubber band but this should have been explained...Having said that it's pretty easy and fun to build and as mentioned above I ditched the rubber bands and used the chain instead as I feel it looks so much better. A screwdriver is included but I used my own as it was quite small. I did have to spend a little time tweaking the hook eyes to get the tension on the chains just right. You can screw them in further to increase tension and unscrew them to reduce it. Unless you get super lucky, if you don't do this some chains may be tighter/looser than the rest and the thing won't sit straight.Very pleased with the finished product and if it had come with proper, up-to-date instructions I would have given it the full 5 stars.
