I do wish there was some sort of padding in the box so it wasn't so loud to carry around. I also wish ring flips were easier to perform. But otherwise it is very helpful for me in visualizing compounds for my organic chemistry and biology classes.
Durable plastic, well-organized, nice reference guide. This set was listed on my university's textbooks list as a recommended set to purchase.
Pros:
Great size/ease of travel
Well made
Immense molecule building versatility
Lots of hydrogens
Can make condensed or extended models
Great price
Easy to view orbital interactions
Cons:
Bonds can be difficult to connect/disassemble; recommend using a lubricant such as Vaseline or mechanical grease to help
Not enough carbons in my opinion
Can be difficult to manipulate into a specific molecular shape
Overall: I highly recommend this kit for O Chem 1 and 2 students; I only wish I had known about this before I wasted my money at the bookstore.
Concerns on other Reviews:
A concern was brought up about difficulty with removing the sticks. I will admit that some of those suckers don't come off easily, but that's what that little flat piece is for (the one on the bottom left corner of the pic with a hole in the middle). It serves the same purpose as a bottle opener.
Another concern was about not being able to make a molecule with a trigonal bypyramidal geometry. If you need this kit for Organic Chemistry, then you'll mainly deal with different hybridizations for Carbon (sp,sp2,sp3). This is all possible with this kit. However, there are some kits that have atoms that will allow a trigonal bypyramidal geometry, but this kit is not one of them. My last kit had atoms that could make five bonds.
The main issue I see in other reviews is cost. If money is an issue, I advise asking people who finished with Organic. You should be able to get it cheaper from them, assuming they did not sell their kits to anyone else already. If not, then do keep in mind that the prices on amazon are much better than prices in a college bookstore (or at least in my experience).

Der Kasten könnte ein paar Teile mehr beinhalten, trotzdem sind wir (bzw ist sie) sehr zufrieden damit.
Para clases básicas de química orgánica esta excelente, así como para explicar la geometría del carbono. Pero para armar moléculas más grandes, ya se requieren por lo menos dos kits.
Li ho acquistati per un mio amico che studia biologia molecolare, insieme all'atro kit mms-003 (nella recensione del quale ho allegato anche una foto del prodotto alla prova), ed è molto soddisfatto del prodotto. Lo ritiene un utile strumento per la visualizzazione spaziale delle molecole, molto più semplice da percepire rispetto alle rappresentazioni cartacee o virtuali.
