Measures 11 feet 4 inches when stretched out (usually 7 to 9 feet across and never over 9.5 feet unless stretched out by hand). Overall height with motor assembly is 26 1/2 inches (20 1/2 inches without the motor assembly). Weight is 35 pounds with the motor assembly and 27 pounds without. There is a Coke can in one photo for a sense of scale. It is intended for a ceiling height of 9 feet or more.

Made entirely of steel. The bars are straight, not curved when viewed from the side and are balanced perfectly parallel to the floor. It's professionally powder coated in a flat (no gloss) finish to ensure an extremely durable and lasting finish. By using a gloss-free finish, reflections are eliminated resulting in an easily viewed form, regardless of lighting conditions. The powder coat finish will ensure a lasting, beautiful piece for many generations to come. For info on powder coating and its many benefits click here.

The motor assembly and precision ball bearing swivels cause this mobile to always move and change in layout (see videos). It moves silently with the exception of a slight audible click from the relay timer approx. 3 minutes apart. The mobile can also be spun by hand at any time at no risk to motor thanks to use of a free wheeling clutch bearing on motor. Measurement of the motor assembly are 8 inches across by 6 inches tall overall. All the parts are UL listed and rated at continuous duty (will last for decades).
