It’s is very cool and interesting, the only draw backs are it’s expensive and the whole thing is plastic besides the top that’s glass, and the app could use a lot of work like better updates or a way to add a custom image but overall definitely worth the on sale price

Drift is so relaxing to watch and unwind. Unfortunately the cost is the downfall.

Bought this for my wife. We can set the design and watch it for hours. Great for stressful moments and times you just want to relax. Easy to setup. Easy app and 100's of preset designs. A bit pricey but worth it in my opinion.

I have been wanting one of these for years but was unable to justify the price of a different brand.
I saw this available and (at the time it was on sale) and decided to purchase it.
There are already hundreds of designs and more keep being added.
As mentioned in the title, this is my go to gift idea.

This is an amazing gadget that provides so much help for stress release and relaxation. The only suggestion I would give would be to add a rechargeable power supply to eliminate unsightly power cords.

It's a ball in sand that goes round and round and draws relaxing images. Weird thing is it drew a mushroom the first day...

App is beyond terrible

The unit itself works very well, the pictures that it makes in the sand are beautiful... With all that said because the app is so terrible you literally can't use the machine. You'll read online on many sites that the app connects and disconnects it resets everything after you've spent 45 minutes setting it all up.... It's really bad!
The table itself would get five stars
The app gets negative four stars

Its cool but not worth the outrageous price

I actually got this at Bed Bath and Beyond out of business sales half off and its a really cool item, however was surprised setting this up that the bowl itself is heavy plastic, not metal or clay or anything really heavy, its a lither plastic which I was shocked at, since this looks more like metal of some sort. The set up is easy, download the app on iphone or android, place the bowl on a table or flat surface, pour in sand, rake it evenly and put metal ball in center and start the app with a design. The app is cool, you can download various patters, change the colors, set up a schedule and even control speed of ball and color changing. IT would of been nice if there was some sort of white noise or noise config with this, but its fine. Watching the ball do its work is pretty mesmerizing and is cool how it moves. Not sure however if this item is worth the price point, I mean I paid half price and it was still outrageous for what you get. But still worth the buy.

Calming Zen Effect

This has got to be the coolest things since sliced bread. I never would have thought something like this could be so calming and relieve stress. You know those Zen gardens that you use a rake with to create patterns? This is an electric version of that and automatically makes patterns for you. Just watch the ball go around and create beautiful designs. I consider it even more than a Zen garden because it does all the work leaving you time to just sit and enjoy. This really takes your mind off of all the stress in your life. The whole family can enjoy its presence.
This comes in two sizes (16” & 20”) with the drift bowl (2 different colors black and white), glass top, power cord, sand, ball bearing, rake and quick user guide. It is simple to set up. You will find a place where you will want to keep it, put the sand in the drift, then rake it a bit to make sure it is somewhat even. Put the ball bearing in the center (look carefully for this because it is wrapped and found in the Accessory triangle box) and place the cover on top. Once it is plugged in, it will start the “clean” design. I liked this because if I didn’t have the sand perfect, this makes it happen. There is a power button on the bowl so you can turn it off/on without using the app.
You will need to make sure to have an area for this that is somewhat close to an outlet. There is a very long cord which was more than enough for me, so this wasn’t a problem. I set mine up on the coffee table and put a small slit in the rug to put the power cord through so it goes under it so that the power cord can be hidden from sight.
The app for this is wonderful. It is easy to navigate and has over 30 different designs you can choose from. My favorite is the flowers. You can also change the color of the light to any color you could think of and desire. If you prefer certain patterns, you can create your own playlist and it will make those patterns for you. You can even have the lights breathe to help you breathe in and out to it so that you can relieve that tension and stress from the day. I highly recommend this. It is entertaining for the whole family and quite a conversation piece on my coffee table when I have company.

I think in these times of stress at work, at home, pandemic remnants, financial worries, etc. we all need an outlet. This Meditation Sand Table has been something I look forward to almost daily once home from work. I have the 16 inch version but there is also a 21 inch round option. From the instant I received it and unboxed it, I could tell that this was going to make me happy. The packaging was solid and the table itself was secure. Unboxing it was simple and getting it set up was done within minutes. Basically, take all of the protective packaging off, sort it all out in front of you and decide where you are going to put it. Spreading the fine sand with the included hand rake made that final step a snap. I thinned it all out evenly and put the glass over the top.
Once that was all done, I downloaded the app and created my account, etc. and powered on the table. I was able to pair it via bluetooth on the first attempt and right away it let me know that it needed to run a firmware update. The download and restart of the table was done within just a couple of minutes. Using my phone, I went through a few of the designs that the table can make and hit play on one. Instantly, the steel ball started moving, the lights were changing colors gradually and my design began to come to life!
There are a lot of designs to choose from, you can create playlists or just pick one at a time. It does seem as though there will be frequent updates to what is available so you can match them to certain occasions. After getting used to what I could do, I put on some music that I like and sat there and watched it go for quite a while. Picture sitting next to it on the sofa with soft music playing while you read a book or do your other favorite relaxing activity. Simply awesome!

Simply, I love this thing. It does exactly what it is meant to. It does it well. Full stop.
The setup process is very easy, you will have zero issues. The “build” of everything seems solid and well-built. There is a glass top which is probably a good idea for most, but I really liked it more without it. Just something to note. Further, everything is easy to control via the app (there are some minimal manual controls as well), be it patterns, lighting, lists, schedules, etc…again, I don’t think it will be a problem for anyone.
As someone who has (slightly) ventured into the world of meditation and mindfulness over the past few years, this had immediate appeal to me. There is no doubt in my mind that this table helps with relaxation and helps encourage and promote mindfulness and mediation. Beyond that though, on a more basic level, it is just “fun” to watch and experience. On perhaps the most basic level, it is just a “cool” piece to have in your home. There are many ways to take value from this device.
Now, as to what value this has really comes down to the individual. I do really think everyone would benefit from having this sand table. It just works as a calming center. That said, some may not be willing to simply take the time. For some its value may just be home décor, and while I think that is a miss, it does also fill that role.
In the end, I love this device. It gives me exactly what I am looking for from it. Calm. Peace. Whatever you want to call it. Beyond that though, it is just fun, AND it looks good in my place as well. If it can lead to a friend or acquaintance also exploring mindfulness, then that is just a nice bonus.

So bummed! The concept of this is really cool & I loved it while it was fully functioning for 24 hours. However, I noticed on day 2 the white felt piece of fabric the sand sits on top of was pulled off of the surface below creating a bump/wrinkle in the design & ruining the whole pattern. The magnet is so strong it pulled the fabric off of the below surface. Also, the app really stinks! There were many patterns that had a status of downloaded and when I tried to play them, the drift would just go in circles. Frustrating! Left me in a non meditative state...haha
