The staff is very visually appealing, beautiful color, and the sound is very relaxing (and adults :-)). But the bar has a fundamental flaw: there where the screws are inserted into the Plexiglas, this tends to tear it. So it was that, contrary showered us with their first order first the small silver beads. The rod was broken at this point. The replacement model is (still) intact, but shows at the same place, even small cracks in the Plexiglas. Since the rod as I said otherwise is very pretty and our kids like to play with it, we keep it anyway. On our wooden floor he holds hope for a while. But those who have home tiled floor, should be better to purchase a more durable model.
