Good project

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.

Not only does this item say it's suitable for anybody over 14 (I'm 35 and failed), there are mistakes in the instructions. There's no going back if you make the tinyest error either. Spent 4 hours struggling with it, my son was really disappointed.I'm sure this is fine if your name is Gepetto or you happen to have the fingers of a small fairy, but for everyone else, I'd advise finding some lego or something else to do, this is very very challenging.

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.

After reading the good reviews I decided to buy this as a present.However, when we built the safe we found that the instructions were hard to follow. There were lots of mistakes in the instructions, which were pointed out, but it wasn't clear on what the corrections were making this a difficult task on its own.When assembling we also found that the pieces were very hard to fix together as the holes were too tight for some of the pieces.Halfway through we realised a piece was the wrong way round and it was impossible to disassemble and fix due to the stiffness and complicated make up of the design meaning we have a half finished safe which is useless.Not worth the money I paid for 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.
