In that capacity it was a great success. If I had to hazard a guess ...
Look, this is a boomerang made from very thin wood with Australian Aboriginal-ish art printed on it. I have no idea if it "works" or is more technically described as "a stick". I bought mine as a humorous "emergency fondling boomerang" to hang on the wall when I had an Australian guest, explaining that in the event of sudden onset homesickness he could break it out of the packing and hold it while contemplating the Dreamtime Imagery to restore calmness. In that capacity it was a great success. If I had to hazard a guess I would say that in low-wind conditions, with the correct technique, it should exhibit the sudden pop-up curved flight pattern these things have (getting them to "come back" is an art you have to work at). If you want a boomerang that comes back when you throw it (the right way) reliably you should either look in a sports store or visit a model shop and invest in two pieces of light wood, Balsa is best, about 15 inches long and maybe an inch wide and perhaps 1/8 thick. You chamfer the sides with sand paper then fasten them together in a cross shape using a rubber band. Go outside when there's little to no wind and throw the thing so it spins horizontally. Experiment with sliding the wood to make the cross asymmetric. That's how we made them when I was a kid. You should take care when throwing any boomerang, as the tips are traveling a good clip faster than the whole device and I once inflicted stitches in a fellow enthusiast who caught a pop-up in the face when I was younger. NB: Historically, boomerangs were thrown weapons and often did not come back whether or not they hit the target.

Misrepresentation

Low price, low quality
I've seen authentic boomerangs and when this arrived in a yellow padded envelope not feeling much heavier than the envelope weighed I knew I was in trouble. This is so paper light that in no way is this ever going to return to a child, the wind catches it before it can ever have a chance to return. My little guy gave this as a gift to a good friend and was absolutely broken hearted that it did not perform. Invest more money and get a boomerang that will bring enjoyment rather than total disappointment!

Great for kids, doesn't truly work
My son was not bothered by the fact that the boomerang doesn't come back. He is 5, and loves how far and high it glides with the effort at his age. It is a great gift for the younger kids! Travels far, so be careful where you throw it. It travels 20-25 feet if thrown right, and it will come back 3 of 4 feet.

Arrived on time and will be perfect for my son
Arrived on time and will be perfect for my son. But a little bit of a head up, it's very thin and feels kind of cheap.

Worked well and great for a little kid.
The thing with boomerangs is that you have to know how to throw them. We bought this for a seven year old with not many expectations because it is so inexpensive . This works just as well as out expensive one. If you YouTube how to throw it, it works fine!

Poor quality item. This will never return to you no matter how good the throw is. I wont even call this a boomerang! Because it never returns !

The product is misleading and decieving. Over the boomerang, "Made in china" is printed and also, thiugh 2 boomerangs are shown in the picture, they sent only one boomerang. The quality is also very bad. This is non-returnable item and the company is profiteering by deceiving customers.
