Beautiful. Pieces fit together beautifully. Instructions clear. Such a clever mechanism. Just the right amount of challenge to assemble - took us a couple of hours.

Just finished building the Treasure Box. It appears to be a very impressive design. But the gearing system does not work well and it's very frustrating to try and make it work. The mesh between gears 18 and 23 keeps opening up and slipping. The plate 17 supports gear 23 but not 18. This allows too much relative motion and gear mesh jams up.

A bit tricky but worth the effort

An excellent model, all pieces are cut to exceptional tolerances.

This was so satisfying! We made the box as part of our date night over the past few weeks. Near the end we made a mistake and thought the whole project was doomed but we managed to retrace the build back to the mistake and correct it without breaking anything. Finally, we put the key in the lock and everything started moving so smoothly!

Someone said they used wax to help them push pins in, we sanded down a bit the sides when pushing felt too resistant.
And we used a lot more wax than what was in the box - we actually used the cheap little white candles you find in big shops in large packs. They're softer.

Got it for Christmas from my parents. It was rather hard to get the pecies to fit together properly (spaces were left etc.) The small pecies were ridiculously hard to get out of the wood. My thumbs were sore by the end of it. I could have overlooked this, but once it was finished, ( yes I did follow the instructions to a t) the lid opening mechanism didn't even work. The turning of the gears is supposed to turn the curved pecies that attached to the lid, but they didn't move. You can still lift the lid manually,but it was disappointing. The gears also get stuck and are hard to move. For $60 I expected better quality. If there weren't a mechanical aspect, then I would have been satisfied with it, but it is supposed to lift the lid. I'm not one to leave reviews like this, but I'm just disappointed and frankly, a little sad.

I love this box. It was a little hard to build once my thumb started hurting, but other than that it was awesome to build

Hi! The idea and product are great! How it smells, how feels, thank you so much! Also it is a huge honor that it is Ukraine company.
But, we bought this treasure box and I trying to collect it. It is terrible, few timed I thought that we catch some fake product... I have proceeded strictly according to instructions, used wax and sandpaper, but no... Some details put on their place only after strong pushes, some breaks after few tries, but there were spare details and I understand why they needed.... I leave this process maybe 5-7 times and then return in one week because it cause very angry emotions... And I done it, today! But it does not work. The upper cover opens only manually and not smoothly going, I feel that something wrong there. Key which need to use didn't works, it cant roll in keyhole at all. I just want to save time and emotions of users, please look on other products of UGEARS, this box it terrible...

Outstanding model. While in a toy shop, I ran across Ugears while looking for something completely unrelated. I bought the Treasure Box and WOW, very happy I did. Went together as the instructions showed. I would definitely sand and wax all parts, it makes things run much smoother. Everyone that has seen it is amazed. Great work to Ugears and designers. I just finished the Amber Box and have the Model T and Safe on order. I am hooked. :)

Another five star review to add to the pile...

A great model, the mechanism works perfectly, though I have to add that I rather obsessively rubbed all surfaces that would potentially have gears or other surfaces moving against each other with a candle. All holes that had anything turning in them I lined using the shavings I got from rubbing with the candle.

This thing was really fun to build! And I still end up sitting down and opening and closing it just for fun.

On top of that, it's really pretty and it's really satisfying watching the gears moving when you open and close it.
