🚢 Exploring the Seas: Rolife Wooden Puzzle Ship Friend Review

I love all the Rolife puzzles I've collected. The instructions are very clear and detailed, and if a step is particularly difficult, a helpful QR code is simply scanned and you can watch the video. They're loads of fun and challenging, and a great way to learn new skills during the pandemic while enjoying a new hobby.

The assembly is not that difficult and the ship looks exactly like the picture. However, the pieces are difficult to remove from the cutouts. It takes a lot of skill not to break them. I had to use a toothpick and lightly press on the edges. In addition, many parts do not fit together easily. Expect to spend 20-30 minutes grinding which is a lot of fun putting this puzzle together. Otherwise, it's nice to look at when it's finished.

Plywood is thin and fragile. Some details don't add up. Unfortunately, there's no way to place your hands where you can get a firm grip and apply force to put the pieces together. This wouldn't be an issue if the tolerances were more accurate, allowing you to slide parts together without using force. I finished. I used enough glue and one side looks like the ship got caught in a storm. This company makes better products like the biplane, but it's a mess.
