It will be a really cool gift.

I enjoyed putting this project together. It was my first project of this kind. It is very well designed. The instructions were mostly clear diagrams. Pay attention to the information in the illustrations, otherwise the installation may differ slightly. There were a few times where things got a little confusing, but I figured it out eventually. The details are very accurate. They can be brittle and break if handled with rough hands. The main thing is to work carefully and not to rush. I have not used any tools other than those provided. Glue wasn't needed and I probably wouldn't recommend it. In itself it holds up quite well. The Ferris wheel spins great. I like that it can be solar powered or battery powered. The solar panel must be operated in direct sunlight. It moves fairly quickly under the sun but only stops with a shadow on the pole. Indirect sunlight does not provide enough power. The solar panel is tiny. Maybe a bigger one could provide enough power in the shade. So it probably won't do much unless it's in direct sunlight somewhere in the house. I haven't tried batteries yet.

Pros
  • Annual Trial
Cons
  • Fading
