Not worth even $2. best in my review

How anyone could give this product 5 stars is beyond me. And certainly don’t give it as a gift as you will be embarrassed. It is cheaply made out of cheap plastic. Mine did not move as it was suppose to so I wrote to the company and asked what to do. Here is their reply."Dear buyerThis product is not bad, you just need to install it up according to the picture. This is just an ornament, twisting under the other half.A good nightAlytimes”Does anyone even understand that? I sure don’t.

Pros
  • It’s very cute. Made a great gift
Cons
  • Looks awesome, but when it plays music it plays too fast and some notes are offkey.

Adorable Product Arrived Broken

The product was adorable but broken. The box had been opened. There was a post it note with a handwritten note that a part was broken. A turning key was affixed with scotch tape. It would not start and the lever to turn it off was broken.Such a disappointment to get a broken product. We are sending it back. May or may not reorder as it just adorable but defective product.

Pros
  • This is very cute. Fits on my desk and I love it.
Cons
  • I felt it's poor quality and size is small. Not worth price

Works good, but the box was ripped and opened

The music box works good but the exterior box was ripped, crushed, and opened. I had ordered several different packages from amazon and they all came in one large box. Every package that I receive was in good condition except for this music type writer box. In my case I didn't need the box but if you where planning on getting it for a gift and want the outside of it to look good then I would take that in consideration.

Pros
  • At less could have been a little bigger
Cons
  • Fell apart coming out of the flimsy box

Very disappointed. for my opinion

I was very disappointed when I received this. Especially when I was so excited too. It came broken at the top and pieces at the bottom. I expected it to be made out of plastic but not this poorly made. The sound is not the best that I was hoping for.

Pros
  • it's so cute, the drawer opens and starts playing ,i placed her birthday money in it.
Cons
  • Cheap looking plastic, big, just not too cute.

Surprise -- better than expected NaNoWriMo gift

Having read the reviews, I expected a small, flimsy piece of junk. That's was OK; for less than $16, you don't expect a porcelain music-box collectible masterpiece. Turns out this typewriter is bright and cheerful, functional, and larger than expected. I am very pleased.

Pros
  • Have A Nice Day emblem was slightly crooked. Very tiny.
Cons
  • Is not very workable and quality is not very good. Would not buy again.

I was happy that it was much larger than I had anticipated

Very lovely product. I was happy that it was much larger than I had anticipated. I love the overall look and vintage appeal it has. My daughter will love it. The only negative thought that I had is the actual sound of the music sounds a little off. Like a haunted music box. Just a little "clicky" and "clanky" I would suggest this buy for the price though. My daughter will love it.

Pros
  • Not as sturdy as I would have liked, but pretty and charming nonetheless.
Cons
  • Only suitable for a specific style of decor

Received damaged. in my review

This product came damaged. The return bar was broken off and taped to the keyboard and the music box does not work. How can I get a replacement for this item?

Pros
  • My friends are retired business teachers. They loved it!
Cons
  • Limited selection of tunes available

Snapped + missing piece. Decent ornament

I know the return-bar detaches, but the drawer handle was broken + detached on delivery making it difficult to open w/o long fingernails to pry. The snapped half wasn't in box so I cannot glue it. It feels cheap overall but not much less than expected for the price.

Pros
  • great looking
Cons
  • Looks and feels way worse in person

Great for gifts for my opinion

My mom loved it, it was a great Mother's Day gift. The musicbox have a thing to twist but if you want to listen to the music, you have to open the drawer which I think is very neat. Although the musicbox is made out of plastic, it is not like a super cheap plastic.Overall, I really recommend buying this.

Pros
  • Perfect for Christmas
Cons
  • It is not as solid and as big as I expected.

So cute and adds to my decor

Like it.bought two, one for me and one for a gift. Was able to slide "typewriter" paper with a saying in mine. Also like the music box part.

Pros
  • On my desk at work
Cons
  • Poorly made. Music box skips and rattles. Unacceptable quality.

I gave it 1 star only because I couln't give it zero stars.

This is the cheapest made item I have ever gotten on Best Buy. In addition, it was broken when I opened it. It is not fit as a toy for a child due to the pieces which break loose way too easily. It is made of very cheap plastic. The music does not work at all. Even if it had ever worked I am certain it would stop working soon anyway. It is too cheap to put on an office desk and too cheap to be displayed as a knickknack in your home.

Pros
  • Plays music as well!
Cons
  • Very tinny sound

Adorable; would make a perfect gift for a writer

I bought this for myself since I am a writer. It was bigger than I expected, which I liked! At first, I thought it was broken when I received it, because the music box came already wound but would not play. However, I realized that the little drawer at the bottom slides out. The music plays when you slide it open a little---and the carriage return moves as it plays! So cute. The carriage return piece is more fragile than the rest of the typewriter, so just keep it in a place where young…

Pros
  • All is good.
Cons
  • The sound of the typewriter may be irritating or unpleasant to some

Tinny and out of tune

The sound quality was like listening to a juvenile play an instrument for the first time, but it got a good laugh and was overall a huge hit. I bought it as a gift for a friend and she absolutely loved it.

Pros
  • Went over HUGE at Christmas! Works as advertised...
Cons
  • Vintage design may not appeal to everyone

Small, but great as a prop

The product is small but for the price it was great. I used it as a prop for Back-To-School Minis and parents/kids loved it. Yes its made from plastic but for the price not a huge problem.

Pros
  • this typewriter is beautiful i love it!!!
Cons
  • Bulky and takes up too much space on a shelf or table

Mom gift loves - worries that it is plastic

I love this I have a small collection of typewriters in my office and my son got me this - love it worried since it’s plastic it may break easy

Pros
  • So cool. The design is weird, but made with quality materials.
Cons
  • Requires manual winding to play music, which can be frustrating or inconvenient

Tiny and cheaply made

This was a big disappointment for me it’s tiny and not well made and there was a piece broken when I opened it, I wanted to love this piece so much.😭

Pros
  • Beautiful
Cons
  • Not useful or practical for everyday use

Box came smashed which was disappointing as it was a birthday gift. I sent it anyway. But the appearance of the box made it seem like I bought it at a flea-market.

Pros
  • Nice gift for an office
Cons
  • Really small & cheap looking. A "toy" & not for adults.

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Totally worth it. good for me

Beautiful item. Much bigger than expected and the bar moves when the music play as the music play after you whine it up and open the draw on the box. This is totally a great gift as I gifted this to myself for a memorable I'm making showing my interest in vintage items. I love luv this item and recommend it completely.

Pros
  • Perfect conversation piece! Looks great on my desk in my office.
Cons
  • Does not include any unique features that differentiate it from other music boxes

Lovely and detailed

Bought it as a gift for an antique typewriter fan, the attention to detail and overall construction is just beautiful. Suffice it to say, they loved it!

Pros
  • Cute as can be!!
Cons
  • Not suitable for children due to small parts and choking hazards
