UGEARS Safe with Combination Lock - Mechanical 3D Wooden Puzzles for Adults Puzzle Box - Working Storage Safe with Secret Code - Wooden Model Kits for Adults to Build for Christmas - 179 Pcs

I was browsing my Facebook page, when I saw a 30 second video on ugears products. They looked amazing and knew I had to try them as I love tinkering and making things. This was my first ugear product and what an amazing quality product it is. When you open the box, there isn't a millimeter of un-used space. Everything slides out of the box, including the wooden parts and separate cocktail sticks and instructions. The instruction booklet is 90% useful and easy to understand diagrams with no words, 10% wordy descriptions of things that need explaining on the more complex parts (like setting your own code for the safe). Most of the wooden parts pop out with little effort,although sometimes, the smaller parts can be a pain to take out and can splinter slightly. I always kept a little bit of sandpaper available for these rare occasions. I would also suggest getting a candle before starting this project, as every moving part needs to be "lubricated" with wax. After many hours, very sore fingers and many silly mistakes, I finally had this together and it looked even better than the pictures show. The fact that it really worked as a safe was wonderful and it had a great weight to the door. It has now taken pride of place on my main shelf in the front room, along with another of their products, the 20 minute timer. I highly recommend this product to anyone who likes to work with their hands and make something from nothing.

Excellent model.i now know why safe doors are so thick

Amazing design and it works really well. Obviously pay close attention to the instructions - we made a couple of mistakes mixing up very similar pieces and it's tricky to take things apart again (though possible). We also broke a delicate piece but were able to glue it.

Very impressed with this kit. It took me 4/5 hours to finish. The instructions were pretty clear (detailed colour images and multi lingual) and the kit was solid. After working with previous kits I was worried about breaking it, but it's very solid. Only issue I had was trying to slot in the last panel (it just wouldn't line up right) and involved me shaving a few edges with a craft knife. Also be aware that if you miss certain bits at certain times you won't get a chance to go back. You will need to take your time to do it properly, but the time spent will be enjoyable and rewarding.

If you expect this quality product to be straight forward, think again! If it were not for the imperfections in the diagrams, this would be easy enough, but if you like a challenge, are patient and are able to overcome obstacles, this will make for a good construction. Some of the diagrams are misleading and you can end up all in a tangle if your not careful (so no glueing), but if you're intuitive, detirmined and can follow your instincts, and you'll get by (just?) It would probably be a good idea to thoroughly read through as if building and write question marks with useful comments alongside diagrams that appear contradictory or even missing in some places so when you come to actually build, you'll already be aware of the inconsistencies and errors. I am half way through and little annoyances aside, I am thoroughly enjoying constructing this little safe. I hope I am successful? I will update when and if I accomplish the completed build. Update! Finally completed after about six or seven work hours. Thumbs and fingers are sore after the testing of the lock mechanism. I did rub candle wax on moving parts but the movement is still stiff, not sure if that is because it's made of wood or because it's new and just needs breaking in. Word of advice Take nothing for granted and double and triple check connectivity before going ahead. After all of the above, I am completely satisfied with the end product which I'm sure will attract some attention by curious admirers.

absolutely brilliant! Ended up spending some time across 3 evenings building this......a grown man should not get this much pleasure from building little wooden safes, but the inner nerd kicked in and joygasim. The actual kit is really well made and even the little bits came out of the sheeting easily, not one bit broke which is even more surprising as being a 6"4 man with massive hands, I'm not the most gentle person. Also with this kit you get to learn and understand how the locking mechanism works. So would highly recommend getting this......I'm now going to see what kit next to buy from these guys

Pieces are too hard to join and they require a lot of strength. It made my finger hurts and I gave up halfway through building it. Material is too sturdy and hard to assemble

An outstanding way of passing the time. Took me longer to piece together than I'd care to admit (around 4 hours including tea breaks), but the enjoyment (head scratching) had while building it, and the sheer satisfaction felt upon its completion (pure relief) brought back the kind of emotions not felt since being an active member of the cricket team that absolutely thrashed our local rivals back in the day. Much like that game I shall undoubtedly add the experience to my repertoire of meaningful life lessons, condensed into anecdotal stories that I regale people with from time to time; occasionally as a solemn, meandering reviews on the internet. Cioa.

Parfait, sauf une notice parfois peu précise

Good project

Veramente fatta bene , i pezzi non si rompono ed i meccanismi sono precisi. La sua costruzione non è semplice ma il bello è soprattutto questo

Präzise geschnittene Teile, eine gute Bauanleitung und es funktioniert wirklich alles super. Ich hatte keine Probleme mit schlecht passenden Teilen oder zerbrochenen Teilen. Sicher ist es manchmal nicht einfach insbesondere die kleinen Teile heraus zu lösen, aber es geht. Ein tolles Set, welchen viel Spaß beim bauen macht. Fertig gebaut ist der Tresor schön anzusehen, das detailreiche Äußere ist sehr dekorativ. Für Bauer und Sammler eine unbedingte Kaufempfehlung.

L'assemblage demande une certaine force des mains, mais le résultat vaut l'effort. Le projet est un peu difficile pour un enfant, et il faut fondre de la cire pour l'appliquer à certaines pièces. Les instructions pour établir le code pour ouvrir le coffre-fort sont difficiles à comprendre... assurez-vous de tester le code quelques fois avant d'attacher la porte.
