Aoderun Moving Sand Art Picture Round Glass 3D Deep Sea Sandscape in Motion Display Flowing Sand Frame Relaxing Desktop Home Office Work Decor (12", Black)

Bought this as a white elephant gift for an office Christmas party. Person that received the gift seemed happy with it. Makes a great desk decor.

Okay. These things are amazing. Mesmerizing. Beautiful. BUT it will need to be tinkered with before it works.1. But the sand art blunt syringe kit. Dispense-All. All-purpose industrial syringe kit. With 3 gauge sizes.2. There will either be too little air (sand fall instantly in a flat line) or too much air (sand never moves.3. There are two small holes on the border. Find a YouTube video for details but you insert the syringe into the hole. You have to maneuver is a little until you can see the syringe in the glass. Then add a little air at a time. Test. Wait a few minutes. Add air if needed… repeat.When I got mine there was too little air and the sand fell in a flat line. I added air 2x and now it’s a beautiful dream.Good buy but must get syringe and prep before if it’s a gift.

Good product, had trouble getting it to truly function at first but has since been an excellent addition to the house and fun to watch. The colors are good for this type device.

What syringe r u all talking about? I opened the item, flipped it upside down, and it formed the shapes on its own. I didn’t have to do anything. Beautiful

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Reviews were great!

I've been fiddlin' with this for over 10 hrs and still can't get consistent results. I've been adjusting the amount of air, but that's not the whole story. With the same volume of air, I can get it to dump instantly or not move at all, it's dependent on the size of the bubbles and how they're distributed. If I shake it vigorously and make lots of small bubbles, I can get it to completely stop the sand flow by evenly distributing them across the bottom of the sand. If they are larger bubbles, with the same volume of air, it's hard to completely block the entire bottom of the sand line and the sand falls really quickly, eventually just dumping. It's also important to start w/ the sand on the bottom with an perfectly straight top. If not, the part that is projecting will just breach the bubbles and dump. I think the fact that it's 12" makes it harder to get the bubbles evenly distributed evenly across the bottom of the sand line. Maybe a smaller one would be easier?

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Never worked and smelled hazardous! Returned for a refund and only got a partial refund due to “damage”, which is obviously the reason I returned it. Stay far away from this product.

I saw that some people suggested shaking it a bunch to create bubbles to make the sand cascade slower and it was great advice. I love how the sand turned out and now I am afraid to move it. It took me a few times to get it to work correctly , but I love the way it looks like real mountains!Bought this for my boyfriends work desk- but now we are afraid if we move it to his office - it will ruin the perfect cascade.
