Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

These aren’t that great and are certainly not the way I remember them. I ordered these because my 4 year old discovered the slinky when she won a cheap plastic one at Chuck E. Cheese. It quickly became tangled and I told her I would buy her a new one. This was the one I purchased and thought that it would perform better since it was metal. Boy was I wrong. This feels like a pretty cheap imitation compared to the slinky’s of old. It tangles almost as easily and does not do the stair walking job at all. The base is too light and the whole thing falls over at once rather than slowly spilling down from step to step like it is supposedly designed to. It’s a shame that the slinky brand ruined such a timeless toy.
