30 cm/12 inch Diameter Gazing Globe Mirror Ball,Silver Stainless Steel Polished Reflective Smooth Garden Sphere,Colorful and Shiny Addition to Any Garden or Home

I bought several different sizes of these to put in my koi pond and I love them. These float well as they have no holes like others do. Would buy again

Very pleased with the gazing ball! The bowl of my birdbath had broken but I thought the base could still be used - and it's perfect! I went back and forth on sizes, but researched that the 10" was a little larger than a basketball and figured that would do. No dents, I don't notice any seam, and the ball is very nicely polished. I'm a little concerned about possible rust issues, but plan to bring it in for the winter anyway and maybe will put a thin coat of oil on it when I clean it.

Adorable. I ordered the 10 inch silver gazing small. 10 inch is the standard size gazing ball. Well made

Quite well made, it is shiny and appears quite sturdy. I do wish i had selected another color because it looks kind of stupid on my pedestal. Also appreciate the price!

Finally decided to cross a DIY project off my bucket list; an electrometer for Earth-science research. I have long wanted a metal sphere for this but didn't know how to get one affordably, so I let this project rot in my head for years. Finally just happened to run a search on Amazon and was surprised to find that these silly "gazing balls" for gardens and such are actually real metal. So, I ordered an 8 inch "silver" one and hope it would be suitable and not too heavy for the project. It arrived today and yep I'm actually pretty impressed. It's VERY lightweight. So lightweight that I could see it actually being an escapee in a windstorm, lol, but fortunately it'll be well fastened down for my project so I really don't care... in fact being so lightweight is a definite plus so it doesn't crush the box it'll be affixed to. The construction appears to me to be chrome plated steel, because it is very silvery, more so than I would have expected from even highly polished stainless, but what do I know really. The surface quality is a little bit uneven, which doesn't exactly surprise me given that it was only $20. For my purposes it's a big so what, and from any distance it looks like a very neat, accurate reflective sphere. The reflection itself is very good, very clean. There is a noticeable equatorial bump from where they clearly welded two half spheres together, but again that's not a terrible thing. If I were using this for decor, I'd line that seam up so that it was minimally visible and that would be that. Again from any distance, it would reasonably hard to notice. On to the important stuff - electrical properties!! I found it a little difficult to get good contact with multimeter probes but once I did I managed to read a low of just 2.5 ohms from side to side. That may be residual difficulty in getting good contact or it may be the meter itself, or perhaps stainless or the possible overcoating may simply exhibit some small resistance, but regardless it's fine for my purposes. I saw someone in the reviews asking about use for a Van De Graaf generator - I'd say emphatic yes, it'll work very well for that. One small concern I have - this feels as I mentioned, VERY light. Mine is 8" diameter and just 320 grams, or 0.7 pounds. That means it is very thin metal, and THAT means it's potentially delicate. Don't play football with the thing and I think you'll be fine. Make sure you've affixed it to some kind of supportive surface so it doesn't try to go wandering in a storm, and you'll be good to go. One last thing... Since I am using this as an antenna, I need a solid connection to the metal. I dabbed a tiny spot of regular hardware store solding flux paste onto the desired spot on the sphere and hit it with good electronic solder and my Weller pencil iron turned up to max heat, and in seconds I had a very nice solder weld to the spot. Stainless is a terrible heat conductor, so it doesn't take much applied spot heat to get it crazy hot in that spot. Easy peasy and I didn't have to drill to get my connection. That's a big yay. Now it's on to designing the electrometer transimpedance amp and I'm good to go for testing. Maybe I'll come back in the future and post some pics of it once (if) it all goes well. Final result will go outside on my back porch rooftop, so I need to go to lengths to weatherproof and all that, but if it works like I want, it'll be pretty amazing. It'll be added to all my other 24/7 Earth science graphs on my website, alongside such craziness as my SBM-19 Geiger counter and my Earth magnetic field listener. Crossing fingers for a win for 2024, hoo-ah! NR417

Good product.

The Mirror Ball is nice to look at but given the price I expected better quality. Specifically, the mirror surface is not optically even so the reflected image looks a little bit wavy. Also, there are several areas with slightly visible seams and small dents or scratches. They don't greatly detract from overall appearance but you can see them if you look carefully. You would also notice them if you wanted to use this for photographic effects generation.

Looks beautiful in garden

MUY BUEN ACABADO, ACERO INOXIDABLE AL ALTO BRILLO, MUY DECORATIVA; TOTALMENTE RECOMENDABLE

Muy bien algunas un poco maltratada pero bien 👍 llego muy rápida creo que eso también importa mucho . Volveré a pedir . Gracias 🙂

No llegaron completas y no se dónde comunicarme

La esfera llegó abollada. Por tiempo (necesitaba usarla al otro día de la entrega) intenté repararla. No encontré forma de quitar la abolladura, por lo que llegué a la conclusión de que un gorila le metió tremendo coscorrón.
