I would have liked to specify the country of manufacture before buying the product. The ball smelled unpacking quite strong (for plastic?). That lasted quite a long time about 3 weeks. Have him about it first from the living area "outsourced" and wondered whether I return him. Why only 4 stars. Fortunately, this has now given. Otherwise, I am satisfied with the product as such. An attractive price for the Original Pezzi Ball. Impeccable and prompt delivery. Recommended.
