TUP The Urban Port SH 8764 36-Inch Teak Wood Ship Wheel with Brass Inset and Eight Spokes - Brown/Gold Review

Used as an embellishment on a beach sunglass card, works perfectly, looks good, quality of paint wasn't perfect but for the price it was good value -Ratio seems to be ok bill and good value for money

As many reviewers have said yes it is poor workmanship and it shows. For my purpose I need it to be successful in my naval career and it will be hanging on the wall so it's ok. I might sand it down and paint it to improve the look. If you are very picky and concerned about looks then this is not for you.

When you open the box and remove the plastic wrap you find a totally dirty item covered in dirt + some cobwebs and mold. Also, what looks like black mold is growing in some places. It smells like it was stored in a musty basement. I'm so disgusted I touched this with my bare hand. Pooh.

I wanted to use it as a steering wheel for a pirate ship I'm building. While it has all the necessary details and looks good, it's not built very well and can easily fall apart if pressure is really put on it. I had to reinforce the entire wheel structure to make it work properly.

Looks solid and is well made. I have no idea what the inner core behind the "metal" might be. Installed the shaft on a deck overlooking the ocean and set it up to pivot and took my house on a cruise. Used 1/2" zinc plated tubing for the axle, a short length of copper tubing on it and some large 7/8" (hole) zinc plated and neoprene washers on both sides and oiled it up!

Grandpa took my son to pirates and ships with all the nautical stuff in his house. My son wanted an imaginary ship but we didn't have good wheels for him. I went to Revain thinking it would go a long way to finding something that worked and wasn't too expensive. Then I found this bike. It was a hit! He loves it and keeps it on his nugget constantly, always ready to hit the open sea!

The product came in a box with punched holes in the box where all the spokes were. Luckily none of the handles were broken. The wheel itself has a high proportion of loose connections, while the wood is worn and chipped where the spokes enter the hub. The hub is so loose that it moves an inch or two perpendicular to the wheel. The finish is full of clumps of excess polish and a lot of rough spots. I'm going to take it apart and rebuild it hoping I can make it strong enough to hang horizontally.
