Review on Rowood Christmas Birthday Telescope Puzzles by Cary Clemons

Revainrating 5 out of 5

5 hours for 2 people

A photo of a gallon of milk should give you an idea of the size. The project is designed for one or two people. When two people are working, one person gives the details and instructions to the others. In fact, there are no cases where both can work on a project at the same time. However, if someone gives you details and directions, it really speeds things up. My best friend and I spent 5 hours putting this together. Many of the icons are tiny, but we could see them. Many points are associated with complex or stressful assembly. I think that's why it got 3 stars on the box (out of 5) for the build. It must be her way of saying that it's relatively difficult to put together. A drawing is engraved on the telescopic tube. It looks very nice. Many parts have duplicates in case they are lost or broken. We used the screwdriver (included) as a jab to pry out many small parts. I think it helped us not to break them. The instructions are clear, almost wordless, which confused my partner. For example, >> means "will". I didn't have any understanding problems, but my partner doesn't pack a lot of things. It works like a telescope that can be moved forward or backward to adjust the view. It was a great action for us.

Pros
  • Very good value
Cons
  • Incredible piggy bank
