...and, I, after her.Let me start by getting these facts out of the way:• It arrived in perfect condition days earlier than expected• All parts were received in pristine condition, packaged carefully• Assembly was A Breeze...taking under 3 minutes. The mostly wooden frame has solid components that look and feel like professional price points.• This Mannequin is So Sturdy, I simply lift it by the waist move it around...which does not disengage the stand, nor, cause it to wobble afterwards, or, while using it.•All in all: you can't beat the price/value for having what amounts to a Very Proper Mannequin that's suitable for both sewing AND display. The BONUS here is that the styrofoam form definitely allows for it to be decorated/adorned...should that be your purpose.Now, back to my mom's old mannequin from the '50s. Although her stand was metal, by the time I got it its surface had pitted and rusted badly; it also wobbled. The wooden frame on this one is so eye-pleasing, wherever you put it looks more like a work of art than a utilitarian object. While that might sound a bit over the top, trust me on this...get it in black and it promises to be 'statuesque' Anywhere.As for my moms, its torso was a hollow frame that looked and felt like compressed cardboard...which 'wrinkled' a bit, forming creases/indents through time. Though it was still manageable, no way did it ever leave the sewing room to be displayed elsewhere. During prolonged humid weather, it would 'soften' enough to feel pliable. I've only added that because some of the mannequins I've seen for sale appear to have torsos of similar construction...which might be good points to take into account for the long-term when choosing to purchase a mannequin.As for its size, well, although it's not one of those uber-expensive adjustable ones...here's a few tricks for those using it as dress forms that might be useful:• Pad it...to make it more similar to the body shape you're working on• Placing a small, somewhat tight-fitting stretchy sleeveless shirt over it will allow you to 'tweek' the areas that need adjusting as you 'fill in' waist/hips/bust/shoulders under it.To expand upon that, old shoulder pads and bra paddings will quickly 'widen' some areas, while thicker items like sweaters 'dressed' under a tight sleeveless shirt will help transform this basic mannequin into a seamstress' dream. Personally, I've dressed mine in similar layers...then bound them with 6" x 15' medical bandages to 'reform' it to a suitable size, before placing an old black spandex-blend tank top over it... which now mimics the mannequin's original covering.Let me finish by reiterating all that in a nutshell: for decades to come, I'm pretty certain you won't be disappointed having purchased this mannequin! Enjoy!

Love it. Had to adjust after assembly but once I did, it is nice and sturdy. This came in handy for my Mardi Gras costume preparations. I love that I can pin to it. It's not my size but that's what the low price tag is for. I'll keep it around and maybe invest in an adjustable one later but for my 1-2 times per year of use, this is a life saver.

as title states, the piece essentially holding the entire thing together so you can shift or move it without completely taking it down is literally a piece of plastic holding a metal nut in the middle, and the piece of plastic comes off if you tighten the nut too much or just randomly throughout the day it will just fall off. it's insane. i can't believe i paid this much for this product. i've had other cheap mannequins i use for my online business but this is the worst one i've ever had, and they've all relatively sucked. this is the worst. if i want to move the mannequin it basically falls apart as the legs fall off immediately. plus the actual rod holding the mannequin is not attached at all, so it's not stable. it isn't good to move around, it isn't good for use in public settings like a market as it will embarrass you.

Excellent quality for the price. Very lightweight but serves the purpose. Not really suitable for dressmaking since you can't attach fabric with pins and the size isn't adjustable, but as a display excellent. Fast shipping and easy to put together.

I will keep this but the quality is not what I expected and the measurements are off. It’s a well designed product and worth buying but be aware of the correct measurements and that it’s a bit flimsy. Also, the pole arrived damaged, as if it has been used and returned. It’s a foam mannequin covered in material and the material is sagging in a few places. Easy to put together. Here are the correct measurements:34" at the bust28" just below the bust at ribcage27" at the waist35" at the hips

I love that it is easy to transport from one room to another. I love the color. I like that it shows clothing pretty well. I like that it’s not heavy.

The item works and looks nice but, it definitely has some flaws.Look is nice, I like the design. From far away it looks solid black and sleek. Though the main piece up close is not so sleek. It looks like an old shirt that's been washed a couple of times. It has those little black thread pieces sticking up, not smooth. It also has a thin material, you can tell its pushing the limit of the white styrofoam behind it in some places. You can clearly tell its been hot glued everywhere because it does not have nice finish. The top, under the knob doesn't look good either, though you'll never see it. One of my pieces also has a dent, you can just tell in general, the whole item was handled roughly, honestly.As for its use, it does its job. Your selling the clothes not the mannequin, at least yet. I seen a lot of reviews complaining about its standing ability, I haven't experienced the issue. As for plainly standing still, it hasn't fallen over since I put it together. I have fans in my room, one in the window and the other in the middle. Its also a small room so we go back and forth touching each other and it hasn't fallen for us. Though it is extremely light, it definitely weighs less than 5 pounds so I can see it falling often with the right person. It also doesn't wobble for me, the legs are even and I have it on carpet.Overall, it does its job if you're not super picky with looks it'll be fine. Is it worth almost 50 dollars, probably not. If you plan to use it seriously, I would get an adjustable one instead. Might as well pay 100 dollars compared to 50-80 for something like this.Pros: does its jobCons: doesn't look very new

It is extremely light weight and not the sturdiest, but none of them are. The top screws in, so no worries about it falling off. This one is made of plastic parts , not wood and the styrofoam torso does seem more fragile if it should fall hard. Overall for the price it is good !

Very bad quality

This mannequin is super lightweight and the perfect height as well. It is a little fragile and could break easily if not careful. I had an issue with the top (as stated in previous comments) but customer service was quick to reply and offered to either send a piece or get a refund (even after 30 days). The mannequin is perfect to display clothes, the price is fair and customer service excellent. Don't be afraid to reach out if you have an issue.

Excellent product. Very lightweight. Wish it was a bit heavier and that the stand could lick into the base. But overall great product for the price.

The manikin is sturdy, realistic, and perfect for practicing. Hair is soft, doesn’t shed much, and works well with heat tools. Excellent value!
