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

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.

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.

I love this kit. The finished safe is something to be admired and the construction straightforward. The parts press out quite easily but care needs to be taken particularly with the small parts and a sharp knife is always handy. The parts are precision cut and fit together perfectly - tight enough not to need glue but not so tight that it's difficult to put together. I found the instructions clear but there are videos on YT if you have trouble. Ugears recommend using wax for the moving parts but I had some 800 grit wet or dry anyway so I used that and it worked a treat. Be sure to check that your lock works before closing the door. Recommended.

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 adviceTake 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.

This was the first UGears product that I have bought. The quality of the wood, and of the laser cutting is excellent. The step-by-step instructions are thorough (if a little small). For some of the smaller pieces, UGears have provided spares (which proved useful). I would suggest that after reaching Step 7 on page 14; that you check all 3 discs catch and turn. (Part 48 needs to be pushed halfway through disc II, not flush). The instructions show the placement of the Dollar Sign ($) the wrong way round (mirrored) - it can be placed the correct way round. There is a YouTube video of the Safe Assembly (running 2hours 30mins) by UGearsUS. All in all an excellent product. I enjoyed the assembly process, and the end product looks good and works.

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.

Quite tricky to fit all the parts together. Too hard for a 13-year-old. Ingenious design, but it sticks and didn’t work well. I would consider a similar product since the quality of the pieces are good but was a bit disappointed by the safe.

This was a Christmas present. They loved it, I mean really loved it. Great quality, no concerns. Not for kids unless there is an adult to help.To approximately 12 hours over a few days. Would recommend.
