Very easy to put together, just need a little care in removing flakes from board and plugging in the fine ribbon cable needs steady hand and it's ready, apply power and enjoy. Display is bright, crisp and soothing, the snow flake tinkle is excellently implemented in the code, perfect for those wanting a hi-tech but simple Christmas decoration. 10 out of 10 rating from me for an almost out of the box experience.

The open box experience is like opening a new phone. It comes exquisitely packed in black. Break the seal on the box and you see a nicely printed getting started card. Then you see a black wrap with a snowflake seal. Inside the wrap is the board. And what a board! Glossy white with gold trim - It's beautiful, Each of the flake boards are suspended in a larger board that features golden snowflakes on the surface. Also included are a clever button cover that features yet another snowflake etched in it's surface, 4 mounting screws and very fine white flex cables. Following the directions on the card, you see the product web page where you can find directions for assembly. Following those directions releases the 5 snowflakes and the power bridge board. Attach the button cover and connect the snowflakes together with the flex cables. The connectors work simply and effectively hold the cables securely. Connect the power bridge board to a USB power source and it begins. Beautiful animated patterns of light flow and flicker from each snowflake. They all work together. This is going to be displayed in a prominent place in my home and will be shared for everyone to see.

Easy to put together, even for 70 year old eyes and fingers. Great sparkling result.

The project is a little on the fragile side but the assembly instructions are very good and warn you of the sensitive steps. The resulting ‘Snowflake’ is very impressive.

Love the concept and the presentation is fantastic! Especially if you don't want to solder! Up and running in a matter of minutes.

Bought this as a Christmas ornament of course and might get around to writing some code for it, but really pleased with how it works as supplied - really unusual & stylish! All went together quickly & easily, so full marks for an excellent product
