He wants to be a cardiologist. It's actually stronger than I thought. There were some minor paintwork issues on the outside, but minimal. The front comes off with some wobble and the internal protection looks cheap (especially the mitral/tricuspid valves), but it helps. Comes with instructions what is pictured. I looked around for other hearts and this seemed like the best for the price. Also, the stand is cheap plastic, so don't think it's going to be a showpiece. Also, my kit didn't have a screw to hold the bottom in place, so it wobbles. However, he was satisfied and it's a good starting heart until you're ready to shell out $400.
