Not a fan Fell apart in the first week
mislead When I think of an original slinky, I think of the one that was not the small one. This was so small that my grandchildren would never be able to use it. Plus, it would not go down the stairs as the “original” one did. I did not send it back because it would have cost more in return postage than the slinky cost. Make sure if you want the original one, you do not get the Jr. one as it is useless. It is going to be used as a white elephant gift at our annual family Christmas gathering.
Did not work! Even it put on stairs. … Did not work! Even it put on stairs. It just flops over and stops. Ended up using it as paper-weight.
