I am a Radiology student and wanted to have a DETAILED SKELETON to help with studying when I'm not at the school. THIS IS IT!! I am amazed at the detail on the bones! I truly do not know how, the much more expensive ones, could be better than this one - unless you need the spine to bend - but that's it. The legs move/bend as well as possible with metal hinges, the arms move and rotate well - but radial cross-over (supination) isn't that great, but usually not required. All I had to assemble were the legs and skull - 3 screws and they were on, not difficult at all. The spine slides down on the pole and a tension screw keeps it in place.

This skeleton was great for studying. Everything came in the box and it was easy to assemble. The hight is adjustable and I love that you can move it around due to the wheels. This is a pretty good skeleton to study with and it shows almost all the groves and lines that would be on a real skeleton. It also comes with a medium sized poster that shows you all the bones and names them. I would definitely recommend.

So beautiful! This is a wonderfully detailed skeleton, well worth the price. The details are amazing, even has the hyoid bone! Looks like it was modeled from a real skeleton. Heavy, quality casting material and the pole is actually metal so it will support the weight of the skeleton, which is significant. The bones in the hands and feet are all articulated (not fused like most skeletons), held together by a spring and elastic cord on the inside. Only issue is with the packaging. The box was too small, the bones were almost completely through the end cardboard and there was no padding. There was some scuffing on the high processes and the hyoid bone was broken but nothing requiring a return (glued the hyoid bone together). Hopefully the company will change the packaging because this is a really fantastic product.

I am a first year medical student and a kinesthetic learner. I really wanted a life-sized anatomical skeleton to help me master anatomy and begin to think about surgical technique/ spatial proportions. I just received my model today and everything about it exceeded my expectations. It was well packaged and easy to assemble. On the stand it's about the height of my husband (6'2"). Proportions and size for a typical adult are realistic. There are lots of details in this model including moveable joints (including all the phalanges). The moveable hyoid bone was surprising and pretty awesome. The bones are beautifully constructed and nice and heavy in weight. Nothing about this presents as simplified, flimsy or cheesy. These are on par with the models we have at school. I'm thrilled with my purchase! Highly recommended for future docs or any healthcare professional student!

This skeleton is super helpful for studying for my osteology quizzes and for my forensic anthropology program. I love that the bones are all cast separately but have been articulated so you can easily see how the whole picture comes together.

However, there are a couple of things I wish were done better/differently:
- There are lines along some of the bones from the cast molds, I wish they'd been filed off before I received the set.
- Some of the fissures, meati, and fossa are not fully open - this can be confusing especially when studying the various holes of the skull.
- In the thoracic cage, the ribs are not attached at the costal pits along the thoracic vertebrae. I'm not sure if this is so that you can see the pits, or if it was simply a mistake.
- I do wish it was easier to take apart and subsequently put back together. Being fully articulated makes it difficult to see some features and/or fully view each bone in 360 degrees.
- I wish I could have bought a version of the skeleton without the spinal cord, nerves, and vessels of the spine. I'm interested in the bones only, so these just get in my way.
