Lovely spinner -- mine does indeed spin - both sides and rotates well.  We have had gale force winds the last couple of days and it is spinning like a top.  Good packaging - directions are minimal (diagrammatic).  I am not sure how long the "paint" on the discs is going to last - some was popping off during assembly.  I put clear nail polish on those edges to keep more from flaking off.  I am thinking of spraying the whole thing with a clear spray paint (?) if it continues.  The base is a bit flimsy -- the legs (stakes) bent out when we put it in the ground instead of going into the ground and our ground is not that hard.  It is top heavy so you really have to get it in the ground.  Overall, it is pretty to look at, we have enjoyed it so far and even if it only lasts the season it will be worth it.
