Review on 🌸 Flower Ugears Puzzle Mechanism - A Brain-Teasing Mechanical Toy by David Urbanski

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Refined and beautiful but semi-functional

This was my first time building a 3D wooden puzzle, so as a beginner I may have messed up. Everything fell into place, but the direction was a bit unclear. I had to disassemble and reassemble several times. But no matter how many times I repeat and how much wax I use, the flower doesn't open or close completely, just halfway through. It's still a great job and I'm proud to have completed it, even if it is is not fully functional. You will definitely need some tools for this; It comes with wax and sandpaper, but you'll definitely need a wood cutting tool and pliers come in handy due to the fragile parts. I had to shave a bit here and there to fit some parts. Sometimes I was afraid I would break everything if I tried to add a few details. It definitely took longer than advertised and was more difficult (not that easy to assemble) than expected, but I like the whole part, partially working gears and all. It's also quite overpriced.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly crumpled
