Smaller than expected
It's lovely but I should have read the measurements more carefully. It's smaller than I expected for the price.

She won't put it down!
I purchased this item for my wife for Christmas. Knowing her love of the ocean I was thinking she would enjoy this gift. After she opened this gift all other gift opening stopped. She turned the art over and over from portrait view to landscape and back again. She even read the instructions on how to remove the trapped air in the art until the sand moved and displayed as she thought it should. The art now prominently sits among her favorite things including her Gnomes and gets turned at least once daily. She loves this as much as I love her. 🏖

. The quality is excellent, beyond my expectations. It was a requested gift for my adult daughter, the quality surpassed her expectation too. It is beautiful, and relaxing to look at whether it is still or moving. We were both greatly pleased. My second daughter fell in love with it too when she saw it!!!

I would not buy this item again.
Received as a birthday gift and was very excited to set it up. Air is needed to be added for the sand to move, after adding the air I walked away for a few moments and all the glass shattered on the shelves.
Response from merchant
Thank you for sharing your experience, and I’m so sorry to hear about the issue with the item you received. I completely understand how frustrating it must have been. We haven’t seen any trends in defects or damages with the Ocean Sand Art. This item comes with an air scale that’s designed to help you adjust the air volume. Adding too much or too little air at once can sometimes cause the glass to break, and we recommend avoiding adding water without removing air first, as this can also cause the glass to crack. We’re reaching out to you directly to gather more details so we can offer additional support

Shattered
I was given this sand art as a present and loved using it. However, yesterday I went to remove the excess air the glass shattered. I have removed the excessive air per the instructions a number of times before this incident so I do not know what caused it to break.

Thank you for posting. We're sorry to hear this happened to your sand art while in use. We've reached out to you via email to get this resolved for you.

Truly Amazing Customer Service
First, this is gorgeous and the friends I gifted it to last year loved it. Unfortunately, it shattered into a gazillion pieces when they went to refill it with water. I left a review indicating that and Customer Service reached out to me and made things right by replacing it. I truly didn't know service like this existed anymore or that there was a company left on the face of this earth that cared about their products and customers. Uncommon Goods is 5-star company with 5-star products and I will be back to purchase other gifts.

Beautiful piece of art
I bought this as a Christmas gift, and I can't wait to give it! I spent ages just turning the frame over and over, watching the sand fall in new patterns. It's kind of mesmerizing to watch, and I think the person I bought it for will be very happy with it. #sweepstakes

Moving Sand Art is a Beach in a Frame
Moving Sand Art creations are just beautiful. They are conversation pieces as well as sources of relaxation and stress relief. I received one as a gift and then purchased the same style for a friend. Mine is kept on my desk. With a simple change in its position It offers a refreshing change of pace. I highly recommend this product.

Fascinating to watch
I love the pictures it makes and it is so calming to watch the sand fall. A perfect price to have on your desk to be able to glance over at while working, in a virtual meeting/on the phone. Adds interest to your office. Unfortunately, it looks like some sand is stuck on the inside panes of glass (perhaps happened during shipping in the winter when product may have frozen?) And does not move.

I bought three of these sand art items and love them. One of them needs more water and I can't find any of the devices to add water. Can I order that part alone?

How often do you have to add or subtract air from the picture? Also, how precise do you have to be? Is the needle included?
Verified reply from Michael
Not often. An Injector and Air Scale are included. included. The amount of air in your sand picture determines how fast or slow the sand escapes through the air barrier. The more air — the bigger the barrier. This will result in a slower release of the sand. The less air — the smaller the barrier. This will allow the sand to escape more quickly.

Can I get a stand for the smaller sand art, even if I need to pay extra?
Verified reply from Leslie
Hello! We're sorry, a rotating stand isn't available for the standard size.

After prolonged use does the sand mix and become one color mixture instead of the separated colors you see pictured?
Verified reply from Amy
Hi there! There are between 4-7 different densities in this artist's different Sand Art options; most have 5– 6. With different minerals having different weights, the sands don’t mix!

Is the large one permanently attached to the stand?
Verified reply from Leslie
Per the artist, they drill two holes into the side of the frame and attach the side bars. It would be easy for anyone to remove the Window sand art from the side bars and easily reattach.

Verified reply from Leslie
Hello! The flow time is anywhere from 15mins-2 hours.
