Review on MTG Commander EDH Tray With Life Counter – Wooden Tray Compatible For Magic The Gathering by Jorge Toussaint

This was hands down one of the hardest things I've ever assembled. I was looking forward to the challenge of assembly and knew what I was getting into, but I didn't expect to have to push and pry so hard to get some of the pieces through the slots.I have big hands and I had a hard time getting some of the pieces together. The little U shaped pegs in particular don't seem to fit the holes all that well - you really need some kind of took to apply pressure against the flat part to force them in.BE VERY CAREFUL WITH PART C5! It is crazy easy to break the thin arm slot on that wheel piece and the life point dial will not spin right without it. I broke one of the two arms and had to repair it using super glue. Thankfully the repair seemed to have worked, but it still would turn a bit smoother if I hadn't snapped it in the first place.My advice is to always be aware where your fingers are pushing against - too much pressure on the flimsier bits and they WILL snap. This wood is quite a bit sturdier than for example balsa wood, but it will still snap under pressure.However once fully assembled, it seems VERY sturdy, and I don't expect it to break easily now that it's finished. I recommend spinning the dials around a bunch of times once you've got it together to loosen them up a bit.I would not recommend this as a gift unless you're sure the recipient would enjoy the assembly process.Overall I do feel extremely accomplished for having put it together successfully despite some frustration, and it looks absolutely amazing. I am looking forward to using it in play soon!
