Bought this as a study tool for class, and as a student did not have much to spend on it. It does the trick of allowing me to study most of the large structures of the spine, however it does have some issues. The spinal nerves are not in place well and tend to fall out randomly, the spine is not able to hold its curves, although it is flexible, it will not stay when you bend it, important features that I need to know are not even on the vertebra. So, all in all, it was cheap and allows me to study most things, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, or purchase it again.

I bought this for a colleague after she commented repeatedly on how much she liked the full size high quality model of the spine that I have in my office. Since I'd intended the purchase mostly as a joke, this served the purpose well. It is close enough to anatomical accuracy to demonstrate some very simple concepts and it does fit nicely on a desk. However, the construction of and connection between the vertebrae makes it impossible to position the spine with a normal curvature so it ends up looking like a stack of vertebrae hanging from a string with a pelvis at the bottom. Also, the spinal nerves are cheap plastic with "flaps" hanging along the seams, I assume from the plastic molding process. Overall, this is quite suitable as a novelty or a toy.
