I brought this toy because my girls love the tiny ones you get in a party bag and they are forever trying to use it on the stairs so I thought for this Christmas I will buy them the real thing. Both items arrived quickly and the boxes had no dents. I took the slinky out of the box to expect it and used it down the steps and I was really pleased with it. My girls are going to love this. I only used it 5 times down the stairs and it didn’t get tangled but as it is a gift I put it back in the box so I can’t give a true review of the item but so far this is excellent!!!!!! Worth the price tag. If the girls don’t play with it, I will! Lol
