 Good gift for nerds January 6, 2009

I bought this for my boyfriend who's majoring in atmospheric science. He gave it four stars but personally I would have given it five. It's a nice size fitting on most shelves, attractive, unique, and fairly acurate considering it's pretty old technology. I imagine this would not be a good gift for kids- it's very fragile.
 beware of return policy from Geroy's December 12, 2008

Beware! This item arrived broken, since it is fragile. Geroy's and Amazon refused to send a replacement, but did give me a refund. I now can't buy it again at the same price, in fact it is about twice the price. This store should know better than to ship glass items and not offer replacements for breakage. Beware of return policies for this particular store.
Came broken. NIGHTMARE December 12, 2008

I bought this as a gift for my mother. it arrived at my house broken. I called customer service and the rep i talked to said she would send me a new one free of charge. she didn't I called the next day and the price went up 10.00! the rep i spoke to next wouldn't send me a new one and told me to keep the broken one. PERFECT. I was very disappointing that it came broken, and there was lack of customer service.

Arriving in a timely manner, the thermometer equilibrated in a short time after setting it up. It is easy to read, accurate enough for domestic purposes, and attractive. The storm glass was easy to fill though filling it took longer than I supposed. Now the storm glass agrees with the local weather people and provides a great deal of satisfaction. I'm pleased with this product.

I took it out of the box and put the thermometer and barometer in the wooden base. I very very carefully carried this to a shelf. After 2 steps the thermometer lost balance and fell. Smash. Doh. Lessons learnt. Cry.
