This product will not fit together correctly. The pieces will not stay in place. It is frustrating for an adult, let alone a kid!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Lab-Worthy Anatomy Set:

I purchased this for my kids to have a hands on experience with anatomy. It provided a fun way to see the human body. It does have it's issues with going together but I got it to go together after they played with it. The problem is the bladder was manufactured wrong so that it ether falls into the leg or prevents the plastic body from snapping together. Mine is in the leg. Other then that it is great. I have been in a lab with the real school models and this is comparable for it's size. We love it and use ours a lot. The skeleton is posable and a great visual.

Frustrating product
By Eric the StudentVerified Reviewer from West Brookfield, MA on 2/22/2008
Cons:
Difficult to Assemble, Flimsy
Describe Yourself:
Education Oriented, First Time Parent, Working Parent
Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Lab-Worthy Anatomy Set:

I am quite disappointed with this product. The instructions are not "instructions" per se, but rather pictures of the human body. There are labels for various arteries, veins, nerves, muscles, in this instruction book, and they are nowhere to be found on the anatomy model.
Then, addressing the model: the organs start off being loose within the model, and during assembly, I found they cannot "snap" together. They can be approximated, but still do not fit well within the skeletal structure of the model. Then, at the very end when everything is the best they can possibly meet together, the plastic body case cannot stay together.
A flimsy product, poor and misleading "instruction" book, and a poorly constructed product.
Avoid being frustrated by avoiding this product.

TERRIBLE DIRECTIONS
By ARMANDO from CHICAGO, IL on 12/28/2007
Pros:
Educational
Cons:
Difficult to Assemble
Describe Yourself:
Parent of Two or More Children
Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Lab-Worthy Anatomy Set:

THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE VAGUE AND THE TINY FADED COLOR PICTURES ON THE BACK OF THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE OUT. THE ORGANS DON'T SEEM TO FIT TOGETHER VERY WELL OR KEEP FALLING APART. NOT VERY FUN FOR KIDS.

It arrived with organs loose down one leg.
It has never been put together with all of the
organs because the pieces do not fit together.
I am extremely disappointed with the quality
especially for the price.

Service & Delivery comments:

Delivery was prompt.
The product arrived with organs loose in the leg
so it has never been fully together. We are unable to put it together.
