Solid, well-engineered dice gadget, but ...
First, the good:(1) This is a metal, well-engineered dice tower, with (from top down) a d12, d6, d4, d8, d10, and d20.(2) It spins freely and well, and after a week of many spins, it doesn't seem to be losing any ease of spin or rotations per spin. (As someone who bought into the "dice rings" Kickstarter many years back, this was my biggest concern.)(3) I got the red-numbered set, and the numbers stand out pretty well against the pewter-like finish.(4) I feel like this was worth the $20, and I recommend it (with several caveats).Second, a few things I'm not as happy with:(1) Why use inverted triangular faces on the d12 and d20? This makes the result hard to read, because the faces "overlap" with respect to the pointer. Why not just use rectangular faces, like the other d-values use?(2) The "pointers" to the results are slightly offset ... one at the top, one at the bottom. They don't align with each other. Very minor annoyance.(3) The pointers don't stand out from the normal pewter color, making them harder to read. (I fixed this with paint-pens, as visible in the photo.)(4) Why the weird order of the dice from top to bottom? I suspect the idea was that because the d12 and d20 have many inverted triangular faces, having them adjacent to the pointers would make them easier to read. Unfortunately, because the "cap" on the dice-tower hangs over, the d12 is actually harder to read. Simply doing them in d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20 order would have been better.Third, keep in mind this is not going to be practical for use in most TTRPGs.(1) It spins really well, and thus for a good long time. If you try to use this like normal dice in a session, the other players will want to kick you out.(2) Absolutely forget about using it for multiple dice. It's not even practical for a single d% roll.(3) One of the games I run is online, and I use it for secret single-die rolls in that game.All this said, this is a fun little die-roller/fidget-spinner, so I recommend it if that appeals. As a replacement for normal TTRPG dice, this is not a good buy.

Neat!
Not super practical but really neat! Made well, heavy and easy to read. You can spin it by hand or roll the entire thing to gets readings. May be a little hard to judge what number you get because there is only a top and bottom needle.Really fun though.Recommended.

Tower of spin-a-ma-things
My wife is really big in to DnD and likes hoarding dice (she's a self-proclaimed Dice Goblin), so when I saw this I had to get it as a gift for her. She absolutely loves it!Unfortunately, I can't give it a full 5 stars as the one I received has the D20 spinner off balance and it constantly lands in about the same spot. I was able to use a small screw driver to help it, but its still not random enough for actual play. The rest of the dice equivalents work great. They glide on ball bearings and spin very freely.Even as a novelty, it makes a great fidget spinner for her as well.
