Review: Absolutely mesmerizing!! - I read reviews like it's my job, so I'm going to add what I feel needs to be added here based on reading the reviews and purchasing this product hesitantly: 1) It works. Amazingly. Doesn't stop, works like a charm. If it didn't work, it is most likely user error, and the seller even reached out to me with tips and tricks if I was having issues (I wasn't) and videos on how to fix it if it's "off". 2) Packaging was great. Pretty high quality and keeps everything safe. Even directs you how to lift it out of the packaging the safest way! 3) It's not loud. No idea who said that in these reviews, but it's absolutely silent. 4) It doesn't move fast usually. One bad review complained it moved too fast - mostly it's fairly slow but occasionally it'll loop quickly for a little bit. 5) The metal rods feel high quality. The base and overall weight is light, but it looks very high quality to me. 6) It's bigger than I expected, actually. Very pleased with the size! Since it's the "cheap one" (not the $300+ real one), I expected it'd either feel cheap or be small. It's really neither. 7) Most importantly, it's mesmerizing. I could watch this all day! I'm really excited to get it into my office when I return. Definitely will start conversations! This thing is worth the money, in my opinion. Extremely pleased with my purchase and glad I didn't let the negative reviews out me off! :)
Review: This is a wonderful bit of kinetic art. Endlessly fascinating. - This kinetic device/art works perfectly, endlessly performing like an acrobat. The pattern is constantly changing. It’s, hard to take your eywamaway.

## Features

- SLEEK, SOPHISTICATED DESIGN: The Swinging Sticks Kinetic Energy Sculpture seemingly defies gravity as the double pendulum creates a fluid, relaxing rotation designed to change speeds and direction for no apparent reason. This high-quality, museum-style motion sculpture gives the illusion of perpetual motion designed to baffle and amaze all onlookers. Hand assembled by experienced engineers.
- BEAUTIFUL ART: Perfect for any environment, The Swinging Sticks is ideal for conference rooms, offices, waiting rooms, display windows, and foyers. This sculpture will provide relaxing entertainment and be the center of attention no matter where.
- HOW IT WORKS: Powered by 4 AA batteries (not included), the aluminum sticks revolve in a mysterious, perpetual motion, creating an entertaining hypnotic effect.
- NEVER-ENDING: Continuously rotating, The Swinging Sticks is designed to remain in motion unassisted. The constant, fluid motion is designed to appear like the sculpture is changing speeds and directions while continuously rotating.
- QUIET: A beautiful piece of art, this kinetic sculpture operates nearly silent and is well recommended for quiet office and medical environments. A small "tick" sound may be heard at a very low volume.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long does it last to work for one time batteries insertion?**
A: My son has had his running since Xmas 2017. We have changed the batteries 1 time in that 8 month period. I expect it to run out any day now.... in other words they last 3-4 months likely.

**Q: When did this product hit the market?**
A: Not sure, I first saw it on a YouTube channel in February of 2020

**Q: is there an On Off switch or button?**
A: You can stop the product two ways: 1) bring the swinging sticks to a complete stop 2) remove the batteries on the underside. 

Make sure when you are re-inserting the batteries (or putting them in for the first time) that you securely insert them into the compartment and rotate them to make sure the connection is good.

**Q: the long stick occasionally rubs the base, is it by design?**
A: Hi, thank you for reaching out to us. What I believe you are experiencing isn’t the long stick rubbing the base but the magnet in the base engaging with the long stick.  The design is that the magnet and the long stick work together to propel the sticks to swing.  The magnet needs the batteries to charge it.  When the magnet engages with the long stick, their can be a slight swish noise.  It doesn’t engage with the long stick every time it comes around, but when it does there can be an ever so slight swishing noise which may be thought to be a rubbing sound. 

If this is not your issue, please reach out to Amazon or the merchant who sold you the product (I am one such merchant). If there is a defect that is not to your satisfaction we are happy to issue a refund or replacement.

Best,
Liam / Prime Time Distributors

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Relaxing and great quality
*by T***V on February 5, 2024*

I liked that it was well packed. Being the "Toy" version I thought they would cut corners on quality and things like packaging but this was not the case. I actually would not want it any larger than it is. The base is plastic but of a good quality. It does not look cheap at all. I probably would have bought the one with the black wooden base but to be honest I don't think this looks any different from a few feet away. I have seen these for years and hesitated buying it because of the price. Now that it is in my office I see that it is well worth it!
