### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great quality - fun to build - get the right kit
  

*by S***I on Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2016*

The quality of the parts and the care in the packaging shows. All acrylic panels come protected with adhesive tape to ensure a mirror finish on delivery... I initially thought I got a cheaper cardboard version instead 😀. Took me about 1.5 hours to build because I wanted to enjoy it (can be done faster). The most precise and helpful instructions I've read.My only regret is I really wanted the "some soldering required" version for a longer project. If I had read the item description thoroughly I would have realized it, but the Amazon pictures show a person soldering so I was confused. Be sure to order the kit you want (soldering required or not).The "useless machine" writing on the front panel can be installed facing in so it's not visible, a great plus since people have complained about other kits prominently displaying the machine's... errr... "purpose" and spoiling the fun.Assembly tip: near the end you have to pre-screw 4 posts. They are hard to grip. I used a vise-type wrench adjusted carefully and wrapped the posts in several turns of the used tape that came off the panels.

    Fun and easy to put together.
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2015*

It took about two hours to assemble and I would say I'm an average builder. The directions are excellent. It's important to follow the directions exactly. The only tricky part is the final assembly. You have to have all four sides standing straight up at the same time in order to put the top piece on. After several failures I used small pieces of gaffer's tape (duct tape will work almost as well) on the outside of the corners to hold all four sides temporarily together and upright. Worked like a charm. People just can't resist turning it on.

    Just okay if you want a quick project
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2015*

If your looking for a quick project this is a fun one. The kit comes with pretty good instructions on how to build the box, and the end product its pretty nice looking. I get lots of comments on it since its sitting on my desk at work. As a user, however, I was a bit disappointed in the difficulty of some of the steps, especially the final assembly step where the sides and top are attached. As an engineer, I was amazed on how poorly the box was designed for ease of assembly. There is one step in the instructions where you are asked to pre-screw the corner posts.This step took me a very long time and was very difficult since it was impossible to get a grip on the posts. Seems like this step could have been avoided with a better design or manufacturing process on their part. Additionally, for what you get the product is a bit expensive. If you really want one of these I would suggest making it yourself (not a kit - as there are instructions online.)
