    Instructions were easy to read
    Instructions were easy to read. It’s a little tedious threading the string. Be sure to double knot each end of the string. 7 year old enjoyed putting the parts together. I did the stringing. He did the playing.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Do not recommend purchasing
    Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2019
    This thing was a dud. First of all, you have to figure out how to cut enough string to thread through the fingers. The string should already have been marked with where to cut it to make it easier to have the correct length of string.

    Next, I had issues pulling the string through each finger - my trouble really came when trying to get the thread to go through the middle finger. This is because the thread started shedding.

    Eventually I was able to figure out a way to get the string through the middle finger *but* it would not pull past the middle finger into the second (index) finger. The middle and fourth (ring) fingers would start clicking together whenever I tried to pull the string from the middle finger into the last finger (the index finger).

    Overall, buying this product was a waste of time and money. I will not be buying this product again and would recommend others to save their money and time as well. I will be looking for another robotic product to buy and work on.
