A Brief History
Newton's cradle, named after Sir Isaac Newton, is a device that demonstrates three main physics principles: conservation of energy, conservation of momentum and friction via a series of swinging spheres.
Most people think that Isaac Newton invented the apparatus commonly called a Newton's Cradle, but he didn't. English actor Simon Preble invented the device in 1967 and named it in honor of Newton. In 1968 the first portable version hit the market and quickly gained popularity around the world as a fun, educational physics demonstrator.

I was a little worried by a negative review of this Newton's cradle, but there was nothing wrong with the one I received.
Packed fairly flat, the base is separate to the swinging balls/supports, which you only have to open out and fit into the grooves in the base. Ours wasn't even tangled up.
The balls are heavy enough for the swing, which then sets them bouncing for quite a while, with a lovely little 'thwick' sound each time.
Works nicely, the medium is a nice desk size. This could work well for schools and bedrooms as well as office decorations, it's a very attractive shiny black base and the supports sit securely in the grooves once inserted. Could be useful for science discussion in classrooms or at home with parents (for older children).
Price-wise I find it hard to judge if this is value for money, but this is the kind of toy you buy as a gift, and quality-wise I have no negatives to bring up at all.
With thanks to the...
