Looks beautiful on my wall, fun putting it together.

It is beautiful but I just assembled and it makes a clicking sound and don't know how to stop it.

Fantastic piece of art! Directions are pretty clear. I've assembled several wooden puzzles so i new what to expect. Not too easy, but definitely not too hard. Took about 2 hours to assemble. Take your time! One hint: In step 6, after you put the one wheel on top of the other, and before you mount them on the main hub, use 2 small clamps or tape to hold the opposite ends to them together during the rest of the assembly. That makes sure they are positioned correctly. Posted a vid to Fb folks loved it!

This was fun and simple to assemble. Most parts are preassembled, it's just attaching the subassemblies and the blades. It took me about an hour and a half to complete even with dropping the tiny allen wrench every turn of the small screws, LOL.You do need a weight for inside the barrel of .55kg and a 19oz soda can or salt or rice is recommended. I ended up using a baggy of loose change and a kitchen scale to get it to EXACTLY 550g.It's an interesting curiosity and fills wall space, but honestly (and why I docked a star)- at full retail price of $250 I feel that this is lacking value. It is the standard wood craft plywood with a brown stain. The stain is dull and splotchy in areas and more noticeable once assembled. There are nicks where the laser cut pieces were detached from the sheet after staining and areas of splinters that were unsanded and especially the surround for the weight was splintery and preassembled, having to be deconstructed and not shown in the instructions. The cylinder part of the weight is brown paper that you roll up and insert to cover your weight. Overall the brown wood is flat and dry looking. After getting it mounted to the wall, I went back and evened out the stain with dark wood scratch cover and lemon oil since it seemed too "dry" looking. The oil really added some depth and brought out some wood grain as well.The wood sheets are very thin and delicate and susceptible to warping in humidity which could cause the blades to hit as there is tight space between them. There is a clicking as the gears switch direction- mildly annoying.The movement lasts for about 15 minutes on a full draw of the cord, but the weight can clunk/ drop down substantially and suddenly, so you really have to have a clear wall below the piece or the weight will hit it/ knock it down. It also freaks out the house animals when the weight drops suddenly.I have lots of pets and the dustiest house, so I dread having to dust this and not damage it.It was fun and it's an interesting piece, but seems like a lot of money for what it is in the end.

Love this. Took a bit to assemble but well worth it

The media could not be loaded. The kinetic wall art came with wrenches for assembly which took just under two hours including hanging it on the wall. Additional tools needed for mounting were, a bubble level for the mounting holes, power drill with bits, screwdriver, and a pencil for marking the holes. The assembly can be completed by one person. I advise adding the weights after mounting. The instructions have caution symbols at steps that require attention to the orientation of the pieces. Pay extra attention during those steps. It is best to do the assembly on a large table with plenty of lighting because the instructions are dark and it is challenging to see contrasting details. Each piece was quality cut without any burrs or abrasive edges. There were two small chips out of the wood color that needed to be covered with wood stain or polish (not included).It is a good size art piece, approximately 28" diameter by 5" depth, that needs space for the counterweight (can) to drop. It requires that the can is filled to approximately 19 ounces. I used pebbles in a tall empty can as the weight. I tried rice but it was too light weight. From the top of the arms to the bottom of the weight is 96 inches (see photo). The arms are approximately 13 inches above the mounting holes. The instructions advise to leave 180 cm (70.86") beneath the mounting holes. I suggest a greater clearance or dry fitting before drilling mounting holes (please use care when handling the unit). It is best installed on a flat wall without any moldings. The wall I chose to install it on has chair rail moldings that periodically interfere with the weight dropping.The kinetic motion is activated by pulling the small counter weight down which winds the unit for motion that lasts approximately 15 minutes. It is a peaceful and calming display that is visually interesting to watch. Just as a note, as the counterweights shift the unit does make a tick sound every so often. It is a very interesting piece to watch and is worth the price and it would be way more expensive if assemble.
