This product works perfectly and the design of the tray for the liquid helps keep the tree from falling over (unlike the Schylling Magic Garden). It grew into a beautiful tree over night. We put it together, poured the liquid in and went to bed. The look of amazement on my 4 year olds face in the morning was priceless. She called daddy into the kitchen as soon as she saw it. The only thing it is lacking is an explanation of what is happening. Make sure not to touch the branches either as the "growth" will come right off which is why I gave it the durability rating I did.

I was very happy with this cute little science experiment. It was worth the small price and made a unique experience. I only wish an explanation was provided to explain the reaction.

The tree is great and you see the crystals grow in just a few hours. However, the service from eParty is terrible. I ordered 3 of the trees and they charged the full shipping for each one; the three trees cost $14.85 and the shipping was [..]! They did not answer either email I sent to them. I will never do business with them again or any other company that does not offer free shipping. I think a lot of companies are discounting thier prices and then really sticking it to you on shipping and handling. Unless it qualifies for Amazon's free shipping, I'm not buying!

This was a fun little experiment that my kids and I really enjoyed! I had been wanting to grow some crystals with the kids, so when I saw this fun Christmas tree, I jumped right on it! It was a fun activity especially over Christmas Break when we were home all day to watch the crystals grow. They really did come on quickly in the 6 hours as promised. Based on previous reviews and knowing the crystals would be delicate, we put on the star and garland at the beginning when we added the liquid. Definitely the way to go! We sprinkled on the sparkles when it was all done. I do agree that I wish a little more explanation was given on how and why the crystals formed, and what kind of crystals they were. Other than that, a lot of fun for my 7, 5, and 2 year old (and and their geeky parents, too!)

This tree was so much fun for our whole family - it really starts to grow pretty fast and just keeps getting fuller and fuller for the six hours promised!
Decorating is a little difficult because the crystals are delicate but with or without the decorations it is a fun and fantastic Christmas doodad!

This Christmas tree is so much fun! It really does grow over the course of a single day (though it will be a little bigger the next morning). If you leave it alone it will last for as long as you want to keep it around. The decorations that come with it are incredibly cute (little string of red beads, glitter, and a star). I've given it as a gift to quite a few friends who were otherwise Christmas tree-less at the holidays. It probably isn't great for little kids - it's pretty delicate once the crystals have grown. I think they're non-toxic, though.

Great for kids of all ages! It is really cool to watch this turn into a tree! Great gift to give to children!

I wanted to send one of these to my husband in Afghanistan for Christmas. It arrived so fast even to an APO address. He was very excited and loved the item!

Grew within a couple of hours and was completley covered. Would have been better if it told you how it grew the crystals, other than just "magic" water. But lasted a good while. Couple weeks. Would not recommend it for little kids because they would probably want to touch it and it is very delicate did not even try to put garland beads it came with because it was so delicate. But I thought it was neat might buy another for next Christmas.

After reading the reviews, I didn't expect to see this thing last more than a few days and it didn't. But, it did grow overnight and it was pretty exciting to see the gradual growth of the crystals. It didn't give much educational value but it was fun nonetheless. I am a 22yo and still enjoyed this toy.
