3 Swallow Hanging Mobile - 20 Inches - Premium-Grade Cardstock - Handmade in Denmark by Flensted

It seemed a little pricey for paper, but I loved the design, so I took a chance. It is paper, but it's also a masterpiece of design - extremely lightweight, delicate, and beautifully balanced. I woke up the other morning and the room was dim. The birds swooped and glided with the tiniest breezes, looking like they were actually flying. I love this piece, and it is absolutely worth the cost! Someone put some effort into making something really elegant.

I like the overall effect of gently gliding birds. I was a little puzzled about what part of the bird should been seen best from below, because they don't all hang evenly. I think folding them in the middle helps a bit, but they could be strung better to create the best view. Mainly the instructions enable this to happen, but not 100%. (You definitely need to hang them very high, and not in a place where tall friends can walk into them.) I already have different artisan birds hanging from wood beams in my kitchen, so the mobile fits right into this theme theme. The only complaint: I'd like to see more than 2-3 of these Flensted mobiles resembling the original ones by Calder (without identical copies of course). Other than that, I like these "indoor" birds, and find them soothing.

This is a well made piece of art that would serve as a baby mobile, keeping them visually stimulated, and then be put away in its box to be retrieved as a classy piece of artwork when they have become older again.We bought this simply as art, being a fan of Flensted mobiles which are simple in design, yet beautiful (we have a couple of xmas ones too) and well made. It is nicely balanced and makes a nice decorative piece.OK, some people have pointed out it's expensive, but(a) it's not some cheap plastic tat,(b) it is something for all ages to enjoy, and(c) it is more than worth the price of 6 crappy overhyped Starbucks!

So ridiculous. I already have an amazing 5 cardinal mobile that my grandson enjoys. I bought this one because those with 5 birds were even more exorbitant. The package looked like it was in some dirty garage and might have been run over. When he opened the mobile to hang for display it was so ridiculously made that I was utterly embarrassed giving it as a gift. Tiny wires with fishing twine are attached to flimsy tiny birds, all yours for the mere price of $40! What a racket.

At first, tbh I thought this was a tad expensive but the reviews were good so I went ahead and ordered it... glad I did! It's absolutely stunning, compliments the aesthetic of my baby's nursery and he loves staring at these beautiful birds floating eloquently above him.

I bought this mobile to have something for my friend's three month old to look at. I was looking for something non traditional because well, it might be a little weird for me to have baby stuff all over my house when I don't actually have a baby.. Unfortunately this mobile is too small for her or she's too small for it, depending on how you look at it.. It is well made and moves around with ease. Removing it from the packaging made me a little uncomfortable as it is just made out if paper and tiny thread. Ultimately it ended up in my bedroom where I enjoy it and I ordered a color changing spinning led bulb($4 on Amazon # MGL801A) for my baby friend. Baby loves it and is totally mesmurized! Not as Zen as this but I guess babies aren't vey refined ;)

I bought this for my daughter when she was 2 months old. She loved looking at the beautiful black and white birds. I loved that it looked like an art piece, and not one of those loud, ugly baby mobiles sold elsewhere. She's now 6 months old and she still loves looking at it.Some of the reviewers spoke of how disappointed they where with it being made of paper. Yes, it's made of paper, but that lightness is what makes the birds able to "move". We put ours in the middle of the room where there is a light flow of air and it looks beautiful.The only down side is that if it's too low, it doesn't look that nice, it's only really beautiful from underneath.

While both I and my child love this. I bought it for his nursery and sadly found out it is made of high quality construction paper, then I realized I could have bought one of the (how to make a mobile) books on this site and my own materials and made the same exact thing for about 75% less cost. Don't get me wrong he adores it, and it looks nice,... but the price is just too high for something anyone who can operate scissors could make themselves. I'd also like to note to anyone looking at this for a nursery , it is not a traditional baby mobile that you can attach to a crib, it's meant for adults and you have to tack it into your ceiling. Something to consider if you were hoping to hang it over a crib.
