Wellden Product Anatomical Human Skeleton Model, 1/2 Life Size, 33.5 inches (85 cm), 141 [Parallel import goods]

EDIT: great customer service. I was sent a replacement of the opposite leg, however they immediately sent me the correct side. Used for years during my schooling & have had no other issues. Skeleton anatomy is accurate. The skull doesn't sit straight but it's not a bother as it is anatomically true & great to learn from. As my skeleton was on the stand, i gently lifted the right tib/fib so it would bend at the knee to look at it. Without touching the foot & no pressure at all, the right foot just fell off. I have had this for less than one month. I am upset as the price does not reflect the quality.

I intended to buy a human skeleton model for anatomical study but was put off by the cost of a life-size, quality human skeleton model which would cost you about $200 or more. I looked into less costly options as I don't have that much money to spend on a model -- and this was just what I wanted. I did want a life size model, but after getting this 1/2 life size model, I was surprised by just how accurate the details were. This model's smaller size was not at the expense of its anatomical accuracy. The small size also made the model very portable and versatile to get a very close view of the bones and their contour. Advice: For basic anatomical study, say for a college/high school anatomy and physiology course, then I would recommend this model due its detail. The smaller size may make the finer bones harder to see than a life-size model, however. Because of this, if your goal is to become a doctor, therapist, or an occupation that must work closely with bones, then I would say go for the life-size model if you can afford it. For beginners of anatomical study then I would say that this skeleton would be the best bet for you: the price and the quality is right. Additional notes: Model is overall sturdy and easy to put together. Model does not awkwardly lean forward or wobble on the stand. Stand is sturdy and looks good; the model can move 360 degrees easily on the stand. The floating ribs on the model may be FRAGILE: one set of the floating ribs have broken off upon arrival but were easy to glue back on with gorilla glue ... the other set of floating ribs were very sturdy so this may have just been an issue in delivery/packaging.

A 1/2 scale reproduction that is highly detailed and perfect representation of a human skeleton. So good you might get creeped out having a child sized skeleton hanging around!

I’ve been using the Wellden Anatomical Human Skeleton Model for four years in a row for my yoga teacher trainings, and it has been an indispensable tool. The model is durable and still in excellent condition after years of use, which speaks to its high-quality craftsmanship. It’s sturdy enough for frequent handling and has been incredibly helpful for teaching body awareness and alignment. If you’re a yoga instructor or educator in any field that requires anatomical references, this model is a must-have. Highly recommended for its durability, accuracy, and educational value!

I work in Medical Imaging and purchased this as a teaching tool for my staff. We have re-named it Skelly! I will not utilize the holder for my teaching purposes and would prefer the extremities detach without as much effort. Having the extremities off allows for a hands on review of the spine, ribs and pelvis as well as the upper and lower extremities. Tarsal and carpal bones are present but very small as this is a 1/2 size model. The skull can be opened and is nicely detailed with foramen, ridges and fossas. The skull on the model is small and if skull work is a main focus, may not be the greatest. (Wellden has a full size skull for $30 & it is phenomenal!) I am shocked at the detail (mandible is hinged) & yes this is anatomically correct. Med Students, Radiology, Nursing or AP students should absolutely purchase as a study reference! I will also add that Middle & High School students would benefit from this teaching aide as well. It is made of strong material that should last for years but care should be taken to avoid damage to the elastic string and plastic fasteners attaching the extremities.
