You can tell it was made with care. The frame is made of sturdy wood with a nice finish. The beads seem to be made of wood also. The rubber feet and the clearing button are nice touches. The beads slide well and stay where you put them. The abacus is attractive and easy to use .I'm glad I purchased it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality *by A***N on 17 February 2026* Everything works very nicely and feels good to use. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great size, great quality! *by M***I on 8 September 2016* Works perfectly, and is small enough to fit on my work desk easily - about the size of a long TV remote, if that helps you visualize. The beads are full circles, and don't have a seam that I can see (I was worried, after one I saw at a store had a big seam down each bead, just begging them to crack in half). Great quality, and super fast delivery! ## Frequently Bought Together - Vintage-Style 13 Rods Wooden Abacus Soroban Chinese Japanese Calculator Counting Tool w/ Reset Button 9.75' - Abacus Mind Math Level 1 Workbook 1 of 2: Excel at Mind Math with Soroban, a Japanese Abacus --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/155730394-vintage-style-13-rods-wooden-abacus-soroban-chinese-japanese-calculator](https://www.desertcart.us/products/155730394-vintage-style-13-rods-wooden-abacus-soroban-chinese-japanese-calculator) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-30*
