Comments about Tibetan Chime of Compassion:
My Tibetan friend recently lost her father in Tibet and I selected this gift to show my compassion for her loss and assist, in her cultural manner, to help her feel peace around her father's death in a tradition she was raised with and I thought being made by the refugees who fled to India was extra appropriate in this case.
She absolutely loved it and says it is so lovely.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Nice, but I received a lemon
Pros
- Attractive
- Defective bolt
- Durable
- Unique
Cons
Best Uses
Comments about Tibetan Chime of Compassion:
The bolt which is integral to the curved arm and necessary for assembly was badly bent and had stripped teeth. I had to cut off 1/3 of an inch of the bolt so I could get a straight bolt with enough good teeth to screw it into the base. The item was wrapped in tissue paper, no box so it was inconvenient as a gift. The item otherwise is very nice and attractive, and would make a good gift for someone into meditation.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
