    Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
    I don't often give negative reviews, but I really wasn't too impressed with this product. The planets aren't even nearly to scale - I know it would be impossible to get them exact, but they seem to be way off the mark to me. Only some of them glow, and stringing them up in a way that they didn't get tangled was a time consuming process! There is no guide to say which planet is which, so it involved some guesswork. Not bad for the money I suppose, but I think there are better, similar, products available.

    The sky's the limit 11 Dec 2010
    Amazon Verified Purchase
    Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
    I bought this as a gift for my six year old nephew who wanted stars or something to shine on his bedroom ceiling. He loves seeing the planets glow in the dark and wanted to know all the names of the planets when we were putting it up, making sure I was doing it properly! He switches his light off on purpose sometimes just to see them and says it's like having the night sky in his bedroom! which is fantastic! What a great price for a gift that can do all that!

    good idea 22 Nov 2010
    By sumi
    Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
    most of the planets do glow but some dont, pity cos it say all of them have a lifetime guarantee. main prob is that it doesn't stick very well on the ceiling, blu tack that they provide just isn't good enough, they need to think of another way to hang them cos all of mine have fallen down!

    Not so good planets
    Immensely disappointed. They are very cheap looking, not very strong and look very little like the planets.
    I bought them to give as a present and didn't end up bothering.
