Despite the term budget applied to this product it is sturdy and well built. Its stand holds it up sturdily and slides quite easily around a room. All the carpals are articulated with the exception of the pisiform, as is true with the tarsals. Other aspects like the turbinates are also included. Not overly detailed, but certainly great for visualizing skeletal anatomy when a book doesn't do the job. I would say it is a great buy if you're studying anatomy and its quality is better than what you might think for an item of its price.

The skeleton worked well for my studies. The features are not as clean and pure as they are on the more expensive skeletons, but they were good enough. Only problem I had was that the hands were assembled on the wrong arms. But I figured out how to detach them and fix it.

Poor Bucky . . . he did not meet my expectations based on other reviews. I knew he was a "budget" skeleton, but there were so many issues with him he had to go back. He did not come with directions for assembling. The stand with four wheels is not suitable for stability in a classroom of young children. A fellow teacher has a model with five wheels and it is MUCH more stable. The stand that the wheels were attached to already had rust on it.

A thin metal rod was missing at the end of one humerus so the lower leg could not be attached. The rod could not be attached even if one had been sent it was something that had to be inserted during the manufacturing process. Finally, there were a number of sharp places sticking out on the bones that should have been filed smooth. I actually cut open my finger on a sharp spot in the middle of the sternum. Maybe I just got a "lemon", but there were too many things wrong for me, even at that price.

The one feature that I would like is for the bones themselves to be marked so that a student can easily determine the bone without having to go to a diagram.

He arrived with all his correct parts, although we would not have minded it if he had had 2 left hands, for example (!) and his presence at our workshop allowed people to understand much more clearly how to move in the most effective and non-self-injurious ways.

Thanks you!
