Montessori Visual Mobiles DIY Set Munari with 2 Glass Balls Dancers Octahedron

The thread is too thin and it tangles. The sticks are sharp and the weight doesn't counteract exactly so that it stays in place; if the thread brakes or it tangles and the stick comes off, it will fall on your child and it can be dangerous. Instructions are not written correctly, the verbiage doesn't make sense. Too bad it claims to be Montessori.

These are beautiful AND I very much wanted the glass ball in the Munari set... but half way through assembling the first mobile I wished I have sprung for the assembled set. Had to use superglue to set. Directions were color coded but printed black and white. Directions required a ruler and did not include a measuring tape (one could easily have been printed on the directions)I did not end up finishing the dancers. I will... but they have been half assembled for weeks.Note: The Munari Mobile should have more black and white elements. Also, the glass ball is beautiful

I thought I'd save money getting a DIY instead of pre-built, but don't buy this unless you want a big project!!! The thread included is so slippery it won't stay tied on itself and slips against the plastic rods. I ended up hot gluing them in place after attempting to tie them exactly where they needed to be for the suspended items to balance properly. It's not super clean but baby won't care lol. Instructions are minimal (uses color coding but instructions are printed in b&w) and I basically had to go off the picture. Probably took me an hour to make ONE. Not looking forward to building the rest...

I an a crafty person, but I was challenged with the directions. When it said that two elements were to be 12.3 cm apart, I nearly threw the whole thing away. I gave up in the measurements and just made sure it balanced and fit the play gym.On the positive side, he loves it and follows it so intently!Just feel free to go rogue on the measurements and it will all work out!

Our baby loves it. It’s amazing to see him being mesmerized by the mobiles. We have to change the plastic rod to something else to make it sturdy & work but other than that it works fine & made me more creative
