I liked the build, but compared to other models, I needed a hammer to join some of the parts. In addition, the mechanism does not work well for me due to excessive friction. The manual should probably emphasize sanding more.

I loved assembling this model, and have generally been very happy with the product. However, I found that the rubber bands that control the "spring" mechanisms wore out and broke pretty early on. The box still functions, but it takes a little extra effort without the tension of the rubber bands. I wish that there were a way to replace the rubber parts with real metal springs which would not degrade so quickly.

I have built 5 of these kits and gave them away as Christmas or birthday presents. A personal gift that is always greatly appreciated.

This is a very nice piece of work which I made for my 5 year old granddaughter who loves little boxes to hide things in. The mechanism is not easy to operate for a 5 year old so I was highly delighted when the central mechanism failed and removed the lower compartments from the action. The lid is now really easy to operate and the side boxes swing in and out freely - the bottom drawer pulls out separately and that doesn't really detract from the appeal of the finished item.

Purchased two novelty miniature musical instrument desktop toys to take to work to amuse the office. Products are excellent and well packed for safe postage. CoolThings communicated the order and shipping details promptly, and items were sent and received quickly. Happy to recommend CoolThings and now that I know of them will likely purchase again....
