ENSO Japanese Zen Garden Kit for Desk - Inori Premium Sand Garden Gift Set for Meditation Therapy - Mini Zen Décor Office Desktop Accessories - Solid Wood Tray, 4 Hand Crafted Spheres & Custom Holder

This Zen garden was my favorite. I looked at quite a few different gardens. I decided to go with this seller. Quality, design, natural bamboo trays and accessories, I ordered 3 different ones…I had seen Zen gardens before. Having two young cats was problematic back then.. I felt the spheres might help with physical difficulties I’m experiencing with both hands. (Great idea for physical therapy, wish they were sold as an accessory..)I was especially enamored with the round tray. No corners, full circle. Calming. Had to try it. Mindfulness, impermanence, simplicity, let go..mu.Packaged beautifully; box wrapped in plastic inside outer box, giftable. The glossy design paper surrounding the box is gorgeous. Really nice, well arranged, packed pieces.The pattern spheres were nice. Calming colors, patterns, comfortable weight. The tray was nice, I really liked the shape.The rake was really simple, different and functional. Really different from others. Quality brush.I preferred the light brown color of the sand.More on the tray: As it seems with most of the gardens I looked at, measurements of the *useable* depth of the tray weren’t provided, usually the outer height. Despite questions in the Q&A section, my observations and measurements were very different. The depth of the tray is much less than posted.I measured from the bottom of the tray to that first ridge. Barely over 5/8 inches, if that. From the bottom to the very top of the side was less than 1 inch. Maybe closer to 3/4 inch. In my photos, because of limitations with my hands and having the tell my phone camera, “Shoot”, the plastic tape measure is slightly at an angle, not flush with the side. The actual measurements are a tiny bit less than my photos show.I’m making a big deal about this because this tray is not as deep as answers provided. It ended up being a disappointing deal breaker for me. If the actual depth of the tray allowed for at least 1 inch of sand, great.Rolling the spheres, raking, etc.: No mess, no clean up, no worries. Isn’t that what this is all about?Thank you for this idea. Wish it had worked for me. Maybe a few tweaks, changes, would purchase in the future…Namaste

I’m a school counselor and I put this on the table in my office. This is an amazing product. Kids and adults cannot resist the pull of the sand and the tools it comes with. Great purchase.

Very high quality. My students love it!

I'm a big fan from the packaging to the experience. The ball and sand force you to consciously move the ball in a way that doesn't allow it to slip. I'm sure my niece and nephew will enjoy it as a sensory activity too when they're a little older.

Can use different sands, very therapeutic. Like the different shaped balls. Would like other items to use in the sand.

This is very well made, only thing that is lacking is a storage space for the brush and rake.

Great craftsmanship, fun zen moments

I use this in my mental health therapy office. Very helpful for people who like to be doing something with their hands during sessions. Great quality and very attractive
