Durability:    Fun:   
Length: 0:37 Mins
This thing is smaller than expected. That is my fault as it clearly states that is 2.75 in. My plan was to put it on office desk as a decoration and occasional usage when I got bored at work. However, it's a little two small to look good on a desk. In addition, as others have rated, not all balls are touching at rest. Four out of five of mine were. Furthermore, when I start the cradle, it doesn't last for that long (see video). I put it next to a standard size computer mouse just so you can get an idea of how big it is.

So if you are buying this for decoration or functionality, I would suggest finding a bigger more robust version. If this is for a small kid to play with, then it will be fine for their purposes.

Great Desk Toy! September 8, 2011
Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
This is a great classic desk toy. It's fun but looks professional at the same time. It can also be a great way to teach kids about the laws of motion.

Teaches about all 3 of Newton's laws in a classic, but fun, way. Can keep you occupied for hours just by looking at it. Also a great stress reliever. Since it's small, you can fit it anywhere.

5/5

You get what you pay for
If you're looking for something just to display it's ok, but the quality is so poor it does not warrant owning. It does not work, balance or even hold together. Read more

becomes hopelessly tangled very easily
This Newton's Cradle works well but becomes hopelessly tangled very easily. There is no way to fix it when it becomes tangled as you cannot rethread the balls. Read more
