Nicely-built math tool!
This is a great math tool to teach the base 10 concept! It is the perfect size for my 6 year old son. It is sturdy and the beads are easy to move. This is definitely worth $12!

Superb for those who struggle.
I have a couple abacuses, but I purchased this one specifically because the beads are split into 5 and 5 with red and white beads. One of my children was really struggling to add, even with the other abacuses, but this has really helped her. It makes is much easier to see, say "7" because it's 5 red beads and 2 white beads. It does tip over pretty easy, which is a little annoying, but I could not find another abacus that was split into two different colors like this so I will keep it.

Smart and Strong
I homeschool my boys, and we are using this for math. It is an excellent manipulative for making numbers concrete, and it is built sturdily, so it should last for years. I'm glad I paid more and didn't get the one with a plastic frame and wire bars.

fun
I bought this to help work on math for our house. The kids are having so much fun with it. They are really enjoying the different way numbers can be used and having a visual to count with. I enjoy that it stands up and the beads move easily for little ones. The colors allow us to separate by 5's easily.
