junk
 from tampa,fl,  Feb 8, 2012

Aful product, cheap plastic balls, don't hold a glow at all, most are golf ball size or smaller and worst of all they have to be taped to the ceiling and the biggest "planet is too heavy and wont stay up. Needless to say they went in the trash. Worthless, don't buy these.

  • How accurate was the sizing? ridiculously small
  • Please tell us about the quality of the product. junk plastic balls and fishing line, you have to scotch tape these to your ceiling!!!!
  • Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? for plastic balls pretty cheesy

so so solar system
 from Mount Vernon, Washington,  Jan 18, 2012

The customer service for the smashed product was excellent and the box for the second shipment was bigger. The solar system was of fairly good quality, but gave no specifications for distance apart or even which planet was which.

  • How accurate was the sizing? Sizing was good--hard to tell which planet was which
  • Please tell us about the quality of the product. Quality is fair, doesn't seem to glow in the dark very brightly
  • Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? the sun was smashed in shipping and a replacement set was sent quickly

Smithsonian Solar System Set
 from Meridian, ID,  Jan 7, 2012

I got this for my 18 year old autistic great grandson. Recently he has shown much interest in the solar system and has learned all of the planets by name and position. This is the perfect gift for him - he has it installed on his bedroon ceiling and is very proud of it! Thank you for carrying it in your inventory.

  • How accurate was the sizing? Perfect
  • Please tell us about the quality of the product. Better than I expected
  • Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Yes

Very Excited!
 from Columbus, OH,  Dec 15, 2011

I'm very excited to give this to my little brother for Christmas! I normally get him something more virtual, since he is a gamer, but I figured this year I'd give him something he can appreciate in a different aspect. It shipped incredibly fast. I was surprised how light the package is!

  • How accurate was the sizing? Correct.
  • Please tell us about the quality of the product. Looks very good, but what would you expect from the Smithsonian?
  • Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Near as I could tell.

Planets keep falling down
 from Wisconsin,  May 6, 2012

Cute in theory, but the planets easily fall off the ceiling. This set is about to be thrown out six months later.

The planets look great, and the sun is a bonus, but I was hoping for some super-glowing nighttime decorations. Instead, the planets glow fairly weakly or not at all, unless you shine a flashlight directly at each one before turning out the lights.

  • How accurate was the sizing? One Size
  • Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good
  • Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Yes

Educational gifts are the best!
 from Sierra Nevada foothills, No. California,  Jan 3, 2012

In regard to a recent negative post that Pluto was not included: Pluto is no longer considered a planet, but a dwarf planet, therefore the set is complete. I just bought this for my grandsons and am sure they will have a great time with it. When I talk with them about Pluto, I can throw out a pea and that might explain dwarf planets.

Not very accurate, no Pluto, Neptune called Saturn
 from Cedar City, Utah,  Dec 26, 2011

The set doesn't have a Pluto, which was disappointing to my son. He feels that even a dwarf planet is still a planet. The instructions called Saturn and Neptune Saturn, so that was kind of dumb. And I guess I'm supposed to figure out on my own how to stick the string to the ceiling. For the price I would have thought that would be included.

  • How accurate was the sizing? fine
  • Please tell us about the quality of the product. Needs to include tape that will attach securely to ceiling
  • Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? No
