Just got this top and spinning station a few weeks ago. (2017-03-10)
Pros:
++ Top design reminds me of the top from the movie Inception.
++ Thin grip so it's easy to flick-spin and get it spinning very fast.
++ Option to order Spinning Base was an added bonus.
++ Canvas bag packaging was very nice.
Cons:
++ Doesn't spin nearly as long as the NW Tops "Yakima Hop" Top.
++ Spinning base could have been larger. It's only about 4 inches in diameter. 5 or 6 inches would have been ideal.
++ Spinning base needs a lip to keep top in after initial spin.
Other thoughts:
> Bought this top to compare to the NW Tops "Yakima Hop" Top.
>The ForeverSpin lacks the ball bearing of the Yakima Hop, but it's nice having variety despite the worse performance.
>If you order this, just be careful cutting the shipping box open with a knife as you may slice through the nice canvas bags everything is in.
> I would recommend the Yakima Hop Top over this ForeverSpin Top.
