Not quite as expected but very nice.... More difficult to get pieces to fit together than expected. Good instructions that are easily understandable but getting pieces in place harder than expected for teen without help .... which takes away the experience of "doing myself"

The tractor… The tractor was given to Ron as a Christmas gift. It arrived in a zillion little pieces that needed to be poked out of boards. The video from the internet was handy whenever the directions were confusing to him. One needs patience and I would not recommend this project for children. Start with some simpler piece. The assembly was exacting and filled with detail, but the wood was sturdy, and held up to lots of handling. The directions said it would take 8 hours to put together. He spent at least 40. It looks fantastic and for someone who is not into crafts, he really enjoyed putting it together. He has now ordered the mantel clock.

Very difficult to work with the tooth… Very difficult to work with the tooth picks. Pieces are cut inside other pieces and makes it hard to get them out without breaking. Fit and clearances not very good, needed to sand and trim pieces before they would assemble.

Great concept but it comes with way too… Great concept but it comes with way too many fragile tooth picks and they need to be cut down to size. The small holes make it impossible not to break the toothpicks. My 14 year old son who has successfully built other models found this extremely frustrating and did not complete it.

Great concept, sloppy execution I bought the treasure chest to assemble for my daughter's birthday. I have built other wooden models from other companies, and this is the first time I've found anything so infuriating. The execution on the measurements is abysmal. Nothing fits quite as it should, always too tight by a smidge. I get that wood breathes and that it can expand, yet this is what laser cutting is for: precision. Insofar I've broken a couple of pieces simply because they would not slide in their lodging, and I had to force my way through. I'm keeping my hopes that I can eventually get to the end of this, but it's the first and last time I'm buying a product from this company. Ever heard of quality control? No? You should look into it. At 60€, this is unacceptable. So disappointing.
