Very pretty. I haven't used the one I bought a few yrs ago. She's from Germany and has the "casket" top which is rare. The lady said that alot of people there used to take the tops and use them for their kids dolls. My grandson (then 4) fell in love with it. I think because it was the first thing that he had ever seen that didn't need electric or batteries to run. I have promised him it was his if anything happened to me or when he got old enough and mature enough for me to teach him to use it. He also loves my antique marble top bedroom set, that's also his when its time. I guess that's why we are so close, he likes the older things.
