Niels Bohr Atom Model Hanging Mobile - 9 Inches - Steel - Handmade in Denmark by Flensted

My science loving 13 year old son, who did a timeline about the discovery of atoms for school, thought this was the coolest thing ever. One has to be a little careful unpacking it so as not to bend the fragile wires. We found it looks best in a corner with a floor spotlight shining up on it, so the light bounces on the metal rings and gives the illusions that electrons are shooting around the proton. Lighting it from below also creates cool shadows on the ceiling. The air from a nearby heating vent keeps it in perpetual motion. I gave several of these as gifts to both adults and kids, and everyone loves them.

beautiful, balanced, very well made. i hung it in my skylight. worth it to purchase the higher quality version.

I will agree with past reviewers: it doesn't seem like there's a lot to this mobile. It's small, so keep that in mind. But building a mobile that is in slow, perpetual motion isn't easy and this mobile has a grace to it (and a nerd factor) that I feel justifies the price. It's a lovely piece of art that I'm happy to have in my home.

It's exquisite. It moves in a gentle breeze and one barely sees the string holding it together. I put it in front of the mirror over my dresser and it's wonderful to watch, especially at night with one of the dresser lights on. This is beautiful artwork.

I love this mobile: nice quality, finish and design. It was easier for my students to understand the "cloud of electrons" surrounding the nucleus. However, I believe it is overpriced.

This is a great product and I'm very happy with it. It came very quickly, is beautiful and is lightweight enough to hang from a ceiling with just a thumbtack (no need to install a hook with a drywall anchor or anything). It's beautifully made and the string it hangs from is almost completely invisible so it really looks like the atom is suspended in space. Definitely recommend and will be looking for more products from this vendor!

This is a beautiful mobile! It's very delicate, whatever you do DON'T DROP IT!!! I wasn't sure I would ever make it right again, having to rebalance it myself after careful detangling, I'm still not sure if it's as good as it was before. But I still absolutely love it. It moves constantly, which is very relaxing to watch, and I loved learning about the man who's art and business is to make these mobiles by hand.

How is it possible that this came with a cardboard hanger? Am I missing something? There was no plastic hanger. Thread came around this cardboard hanger, please see attached picture. Of course it broke and fell. I was lucky it didn't get too tangked and was able to make a makeshift knot on my ceiling hook. But I am so, so disappointed. This costed 60 dollars. I've seen 5 dollar hangers with plastic hooks. This one should have a premium hanger for the price. I am writing to the manufacturer because this has to be a mistake from what I've read or simply this needs to be addressed. Edit: I contacted the manufacturer and they said this was the sellers fault. They said they must have sent me.an open box item. I don't know what to think of this, the cardboard hanger was Flensted branded. Either way, I am not happy. At all.

A piece of art suspended in mid air. Spectacular gift for a student of science!

Es muy bonito pero los círculos no encajan perfectamente y no son del todo concéntricos. Chocan unos con otros. Me gustaría saber cómo deben colocarse para que sean del todo concéntricos

Un regalo perfetto per mio marito.

インテリアのアクセントになります

Das Mobile ist wunderschön, vermutlich war das Produkt schon vorher woanderst. Der Faden war total verdreht, da es sich um eine Fadenrolle handelt, haben wir kurzerhand den vorhandenen Faden getrennt und neu gefädelt. War eine sehr mühevolle Aufgabe (ein Freund hat mir dabei geholfen, alleine hätte ich es nicht geschafft und vermutlich das Produkt zurückgeschickt), nun sieht es sehr schön aus. Wirklich ein toller Blickfang, zumal ich in der Schräge nicht viel Platz habe, für mein kleines Kosmetikstudio ideal, wenn die Kunden auf der Liege sind (ob Fußpflege oder Kosmetikbehandlung), wirkt es sehr beruhigend. Klare Kaufempfehlung, nur die Fadengeschichte müsste anderst gelöst werden.
