- What does the Drift sand table actually do?
- A metal sphere rolls through a bed of fine sand, leaving trails, while LEDs light the surface. It is a decorative kinetic piece, not an interactive game.
- How big is it?
- It is about 10 inches wide and weighs roughly 3 pounds, so it fits on a desk or side table without much room to spare.
- Does it need batteries or a plug?
- It runs on power for the lights and motion. Check the listing for the exact power source and cable length before you place it.
- Is it good for kids?
- It is aimed at adults. The sand is messy if disturbed and the metal sphere can be lost, so it is not a child's toy.
- How does it compare with a plain wooden sand table?
- The Drift adds lighting and a finished frame. Plain sand tables are simpler and often larger, but they lack the lit, decorative effect.
- Can I change the sand or patterns?
- The patterns come from the sphere's motion, not from settings you choose. Replacing the sand is possible but not part of normal use.
