I believe that indeed, a mature child would adore this. It has small parts of course but that's the point😉. It is durable & after taking it apart & putting back together a handful of times it is functioning properly. I highly recommend these. If this were available when I was a child, I would still have it for sure as a most precious keepsake.
Nice record player has a little weight to it. Also has three little records definitely worth buying. I don’t like the top that is on the record player, but you can take that off. That’s what I did love it.
