He disfrutado mucho con el montaje. Me pareció sencillo, aunque es mi primera experiencia. Recomendaría encerar casi todas las piezas, pues se facilita mucho su instalación y funcionamiento. Gracias por los repuestos. Seguir manteniendo este nivel.
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
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.
It is by far one of the coolest kits I have ever assembled. It went together just as the instructions were written. I would suggest that anyone purchasing this or any other of their kits, take the extra time to sand and wax everything as per the instructions. You wont be disappointed.
We got a copy of this for our 13yr old son as a gift, and it was going great until we realized that one of the sheets was miscut!
Pieces 33 & 34 are missing, and in the place where they should have been has a duplicate of pieces 30 & 31!
We looked everywhere and checked several online assembly videos to make sure that there is nothing we overlooked, but could not find 33 & 34 anywhere!
My son was very frustrated! Is there any way we can get a replacement sheet or just parts 33&34?

This was my first Ugears project but it won't be my last. Everything fit together very cleanly and no parts broke as I push them from their boards. Besides waxing the gears and connected joints I found it very helpful to wax the small connecting pins which made them slide in much easier. It took me about 8 hours to assemble but I was being very careful and making sure everything was waxed well and I followed the detailed instructions. I found it to be a relaxing experience that even though at times it was challenging. The video that did a step by step assembly was very helpful. It was a fun and satisfying project!
I finished this the other night! It took me quite a long time to finish, since it was my first model of this type. I wanted to make sure the pips were sanded down and the gears were waxed, so that was a contributing factor.
I'm running into an issue, though, where I unlock it complerely, turn the key to make the top raise up, but the lid looks like it's sticking on the back right section. It needs a bit of a nudge to get going, but other than that, I love it! I'm a big fan of decorative, but functional, pieces, and the fact that this is a puzzle box is a plus. It's gorgeous and I really like it :) Definitely enjoyed this Christmas gift.

Nagyon szép doboz. Ajándéknak is egy kitünő ötlet. Az összerakása nem bonyolult, így mindenkinek ajánlom, még kezdőknek is.
This is one of the best items offered by ugears. We need more stuff like this:
1. Secret hidden compartments.
2. Subtle ways to activate/access staff.
3. Art/decoration items - vases, boxes, painting frames, tea pots etc (I know that they all are, but I mean things with the main focus on pleasing the eye instead of being representations of larger things like cars or trains).
Not just for men these models. Finished it and glad to say it works!

Hi Tony,
Thank you for your feedback and for sharing our passion. You’re right, this smart hobby does start the gears of modelers’ minds and, we believe, looks exciting in your home collection.
Superbe boîte facile à assemblée et très belle en plus d'être 100% fonctionnelle. Je recommande fortement pour débuter!
A beautiful object in its own right however I got great pleasure out of gradually seeing the structural design develop as the build progressed. Great respect to your design team
I bought this as a Christmas present to myself and have just finished it. It was so fascinating for me to build and it's such a pretty box. I've just been given the "Aviator" model as a birthday present. Think that one's going to keep me busy for a while.
Thank you for really well thought out products.

Hi Robyn,
Thank you for sharing your experience. That's great!
Stay safe and have a pleasant time while building.
Kind regards,

Beautiful when completed but I’m having trouble getting the lid to open. Gears are turning but not sure where the problem is.
Any ideas? Don’t want to take it apart!

Dear Chuck,
thank you for reaching Ugears. We have made a short video How to open the Treasure Box, please look at it

Please let us know if everything is OK
Kind regards,

I'll echo the other comments that the engineering of this model is amazing - its a fun and challenging build. The pieces come off the templates fine (I did not break any) and there are a few extras. There is one place that it is not clear about where to use wax (where the lid turns) that I missed. The mechanics of the box are fantastic. I have other u gears models and this one was a little more of an effort to build - a good thing.

Dear Mike,
thank you for your great words! It's pleasure for our team that you enjoyed building and made your own Treasure Box. We recommend to wax moving parts (cogs of gears) as well as places of joints for smoother assembly.
Just went through about half the instruction book. For a guy, who used to play with legos his whole childhood, ugears is probably the best thing that ever happened to me. It is definately more challenging than legos, but enjoyed every second of it so far.

Hi Mantas,
Thank you for sharing your excellent impressions and kind words! It's so inspiring!
This was our first kit to try, and enjoyed it very much. Easy to build and the finish is amazing. The secret locking mechanism was so great we had to play with a few times. Its a beautiful looking piece.

Dear Anne,
thank you for your feedback. Great that you enjoyed the Treasure box, a puzzle box created for gear-driven, steampunk hearts.
Have a nice day,

J’ai beaucoup aimé cette maquette. Il faut être patient et minutieux pour réussir son montage.
Très utile en tirelire

Bonne journée, Gaspard,
Merci pour votre avis. Toutes les maquettes Ugears sont Une excellente idée pour vos cadeaux et passe-temps! Ces maquettes plongent petits et grands dans le monde fantastique de la mécanique.
Bienvenue dans le monde Ugears!
Just finished the box. Fascinating mechanism and it's astonishing how well all the little pieces and gears fit and work together. You can see that a lot of brainpower went into the design. Well done!
