ROKR 3D Wooden Puzzles for Adults Illuminated Globe with Stand 180pcs 3D Puzzles Built-in LED Model Kit Hobby Gifts for Adults Home Decor

My husband had hurt his hip & could not do much. I purchased this & it was great. He enjoyed building it & it helped to give him something to do. He’s always been a very busy person. It was worth the gift for him.

Pretty cool. Some of the parts are delicate, so take your time. Read the directions carefully and if you get frustrated or impatient, take a break and come back to it later. I broke two pieces when I wasn't being careful, still works. Looks good on a desk or a shelf. Took me a few hours to complete. The light is a soft glow, it's not something you can use as a reading light or anything like that.

Assembly was was more involved than I expected. This is a legit wood puzzle! The support lines left after removing from the parts tree annoyed me so sanding these smooth and blending for color took some time though. Invested about 6hrs over two days to assemble but it was worth it! I see where others say the instructions can be vague, easiest way around this is to read AT LEAST one step ahead of where you are. Having an idea of where its headed helped planning where I was at. Pay attention to part shading in the instructions as they designate things like wax application (wax included) or glue (not included). Wax heavily, glue lightly. Worst part for me was the 12 printed maps of the globe, tedious cosmetically and generally annoying. Overall this was a really cool build, while not simple the end product was worth the process!

I was super excited to receive this item because it claims to light up and turn in multiple ways, however assembly was a pain! Assembly of this product was so painstaking, I ended up having a couple of dented finger nails, some splinters, and a bunch of broken and scratched up skin. This item requires a lot of finger strength, yet it requires gentle assembly. There are certain parts during assembly where it requires me to gently slide in one part, yet push it in with force. the longitudinal wood pieces came in 12 pieces, but to assemble, it must fit into 5 different slots. I broke about 9 little slots in 9 difference pieces. The instructions were all pictures, but certain parts of the instruction must be studied in detail!!! I studied certain steps and was confident; turned out, I was wrong and had to break it apart which caused more broken wooden pieces. The last part, one of the pieces didn't come fully cut, so when I pushed a piece in, it snapped. Overall, if this item I assembled was not examined in detail, nobody would see any of the cracks. I like what I assembled and it did turn out great, but I refuse to ever do this again! and it wont turn! I waxed the pieces that required waxing, but as hard as I try to turn the knobs, the globe wont turn! If I force, it'll turn a little bit, but I feel like it might break!

Very cool looking

It took 3 of us to put this together one afternoon. Very intricate design and pieces. Need to be careful as the wood pieces can break easily. But after completion the globe is very nice, especially with the light.

HORRIBLE! THE PANELS ARE A JOKE!!! If you are looking for frustration, look no further. From the beginning pieces A2 and A3 won't hold in place, hole is too big, then pieces A5 and A6 same thing so it's glue it or forget it, keep in mind this is the VERY START OF THIS NIGHTMARE! It starts in alphabetical order by the piece. Then there are the panels for the globe, a complaint of many, but I had NO IDEA HOW RIDICULOUS IT IS! The tabs that hold them in place are tiny cheap bendable plastic tabs that hold until you move further, as you go along the 12 panels, the ones you started begin to pop out sometimes from the top, sometimes the bottom, like a chain reaction, so again it's glue it or forget it! After wasting several hours, im just going to return it. I've done other ROKR puzzles and never had this amount of frustration. Other puzzles give extra pieces for the small ones knowing they sometimes don't hold, this one does not, and to replace them is a 2 week wait from China, not worth it!

(the squeaks in the video are because it is wood on a polished wood table.. just mute it😉) I bought this for a family swap.. with the hopes I would get it. After pulling the best number in the swap I knew this was going home with me! Things to know: Pay attention to the instructions.. like which direction things should face, making sure pieces are seated completely before moving on. THIS IS NOT A 30 MINUTE BUILD.. this is like a 3 hour, take your time, do it right build. Trust me, I ran into what I thought was a problem, so I walked away for a few hours and came back to it... Was able to figure out what I did wrong and correct it easily without getting frustrated. LIGHTLY sand all the pieces when you take them out of the boards, just around where they were attached. It will help make them fit and look better. Use both hands while popping pieces from the boards, don't rush it. The woods is strong, but don't be a bull in a china shop. WAX when it says to wax. I actually used some butcher block wood conditioner/wax on the moving gears as the wax provided broke into little pieces with my aggressive waxing. *Note you can also use candle wax if you run out I did end up using the tape strips on the globe part to secure them fully. *Tip* make sure to press down on the tape piece BEFORE trying to pull it off the page(before even placing it) .. that will ensure the tape part comes up with the strip. (This happens with many kinds of strip tapes) I cut the pieces smaller, just enough to cover the bottom inch of each tab and the top 1/2 inch to secure all in place. Tape goes on the wood part of one bone, then on the globe plastic of the piece that is already down. I love this and will be buying more! So much better than watching TV, or playing on a phone, or doing dishes!!!

Thanks!! I love this !!!

Superbe projet en bois à bricoler. Nous avons acheté quelques-uns de cette collection. Jamais déçu. Les directives sont claires et le résultat est surprenant. J'ai déjà sélectionné le prochain!

Too difficult to put together. Breaks easy when trying to build

Looks exactly like the picture, and is functional too. Great packaging, comes with the tools you may need. Getting the maps on was a bit tricky, otherwise, really enjoyed building it!

I am amazed at how much better this looks in person. My husband put this together and enjoyed the process. He is mechanically inclined so he would find it easier to make than I would. The quality is great and it’s on display in my home office.
