Finely machined spinning top.I can imagine it in a larger size as a light fixture with an emphasis on the spaceship style.Very well balanced.HAMMERSMITH Spinning Top - Spinning top Base, Spin Art, 0.6oz Alloy Construction, Just-Right Tactile Experience

Minus stars because it's really thin. It does have good stretch though so easy to put on mattress. Deep pockets never had sheets slip off.

Product works very well on my dogs bed. Not quite sure about the long term quality at this point.

WOW I defiantly recommend you get one of these the quality and precision is amazing !!!

Opening the box was an experience, as it should be for this price point. Removing the paper insert (which is also a pouch containing a card with a quote and some reinforcements on why it's a good top) reveals the top nestled in a bed of dense foam.Top top is pretty heavy for its size and is completely smooth all over, but not polished so it has a satin finish. I'm not sure what their "Premium Alloy Construction" means, but it's not magnetic at any rate.The profile is similar to the one in the movie Inception except Leo's top's outer edge comes to more of a peak whereas this one has a more flattened edge. It's closer in profile to the tops from ForeverSpin.Why did I take a star off? Because the listing says it comes with a base and there is no base in the box. Sure I can spin it on any flat surface, but if that surface isn't completely level then it wanders and doesn't give the perfectly still illusion (which is honestly hard to recreate anyway).It's definitely a premium product, though it's a shame that I can't let anyone else use it for fear they might alter my totem preventing me from knowing if I'm in the real world or not.

Almost perfect. Not sure if I just need to practice my spinning technique more, but it always starts out pretty wobbly when I spin it...? And then, depending on the spin, it's anywhere from 3-10 seconds of that kind of "still" spinning, where it just kind of floats on the surface it's been spun on; I was hopeful that it would last longer than that... It is super cool, though, how it always manages to balance itself out and spin smoothly after the initial few seconds of wobbliness. Very nice, well made - smooth surfaces and good weight to it. I think the packaging is a bit much (huge box for the comparatively small item), but it's nice that it comes well-protected.

Honestly I forgot that I ordered this. I looked at the box and it was really light. I asked myself what could possibly be in a box this fancy. By the way, even the box is precision engineered. I am afraid all of the reviewers completely missed the mark on this. The box itself is precision machined — meaning that this entire product from start to finish was created by "anal" engineers: people so precise in their lives that while their craftsmanship is elegant to a point of perfection, I have to wonder how annoying it must be to hang out with them. There simply is no part of the presentation of this top that is even a micron off-center.And that reminds me to mention that the box is *expertly* shrink-wrapped with extreme precision. All of this says that when you finally wedge the top from its cushy nest (it is really snug in there), you can expect only the finest quality. Giving this as a gift shows class and appreciation for the recipient, and to the discerning mind, one can tell the extreme craftsmanship all of the way through the entire process.Okay, so it's a top, right? I saw that other people complained about its size. Did they expect a watermelon? This is a discrete "fidget spinner" for extremely wealthy men so deeply rooted in the "good ol' boy network" that we never know their names or hear about their billions. Yeah this was in a movie, whatever. This top is mesmerizing and forces you to limit your focus to the singularity of the concern at hand (so it is also a business tool). But let me walk you through the unboxing experience since everyone else seems to have completely missed the point.First off, given the size of the top, the box is huge! I mean, really — they could have just popped this in a plastic zippy bag and saved themselves a few bucks, right?RIGHT?And the box is NOT easy to open. It is friction-sealed (on purpose). This begins your journey. But even after you pop the lid and see the brand (again — this time printed on the inside — this is so ostentatious I feel I need a monocle and a cigar just to write this review!) your egress is blocked by a "perfectly fit" (again??? really??) card that turns out to be a sneaky envelope (please see image). In that is a vanity card. How nice. You are taught that you are receiving "only the finest of materials" (my emphasis, you can read the card for yourself).Finally, tossing that aside I realized -- "oh yeah this was that thing from the movie." But by now I was hesitant to touch such a work of art (see how effective good packaging is?).Imagine giving this to your fav. executive (some C-Suite jerk in a suit) and you will be on their x-mas bonus list for sure! The sponge material "in which the masterpiece precision top nestles" (again my emphasis) is firm sponge. Don't these people cut corners anywhere? C'mon, you're making the rest of us look bad! WTH man, the due abides and all, but I just wanted my rug back! This top is worth a mont's salary!Okay, answer lastly, look at how thick this box is (last pic). It is hard to adequately express the depths of uber-capitalistic pig-dog pomposity this top evokes — AND I LOVE IT. Seriously ("dude . . "( if you have ANY serious executive or critical thinker on your Christmas list, get them this. It certainly doesn't look like $32.50 (current Amazon price). This feels like a hundred bucks — and most of that is the packaging (it's [always] ALL about the presentation). The top itself is well made -yada, yada . . .But wow. Now I have to get a better job. I can't bring myself to soil this with my grubby paws until I add another zero to my annual salary (is anyone hiring?) Anyway that's it for me. Thanks for reading this. Hope it helps.

These are amazing! So soft, flexible, have washed 40 times- no holes, srilly stretchy, no fading. Ordered in gray color was perfect. Way better than the Walmart ones I had before.

We use these crib mattress sheets to cover our dog beds. We use a Molly Mutt waterproof cover, a square mattress pad, and then top them with this. Way easier to wash and replace when a dog pukes or pees on the bed and just to do the normal washing. This brand holds up to dogs digging at them and lots of washing. I love the jersey material because it gives very well making it easy to make the beds. I have tried other brands and their materials are rough and do not last.

I recently made some dog beds that fit crib mattresses for our large breed dogs. The set up has been great as we are able to purchase high quality foam mattresses that last a long time, unlike expensive dog beds on the market. We can put waterproof covers on them for any gross dog things that happen and we then buy these sheets to fit over that. It makes life so much easier. If they come in with muddy paws, just pull the sheet off and throw in the washer and put a new one on. We have so many backups. They are good quality and even though they take a beating with the way our pups are dragging their nails on them, or hard bones or toys, they last for a very long time.
