(More customer reviews)I bought this just to have something cool on my desk, and I love it! It looks great on the corner of my desk, and reminds me of the little bubbling lites that used to be on my Christmas tree when I was a kid.
I only gave it four stars because it's obviously not 100% accurate, and the barometer is a little hard to fill. It comes with a syringe and tube to fill it, but the tube takes awhile to thread into the barometer. It also takes three syringes full to get the barometer to a good level.
Amazon doesn't give measurements, but the base is about 8" wide, the Galileo thermometer is about 8" high as well, and the glass water barometer is almost 7" high.

A lovely conversation starter and a fun example of early scientific measurement, this Galileo thermometer and barometer set from Chaney Instrument engages the eye while monitoring the weather. Designed for approximate interpretation of temperature and general prediction of fair or foul weather, the set features glass instruments that rely on the principles of buoyancy and air pressure for their function. In the thermometer, the brightly colored internal spheres rise and lower with fluctuations in temperature and corresponding density. The ball-shaped barometer shifts liquid to and from its curved spout in response to changes in the air. Both pieces are beautifully shaped, and the barometer features a lovely etching of the Earth\'s continents. A wooden base makes the set easily displayable on desk or bookshelf. Delightful for gift giving, the unit measures approximately 8 inches long and stands 8 inches high.
