Solid and Entertaining

I've done several ROKR puzzles/models, and they are all high quality and fun. The train has more parts and takes longer than others (which is a good thing -- more fun for the money). It is well built and very enjoyable to assemble. No glue was needed; all the parts fit well. It is probably a bit difficult for a child to assemble without help, and several steps require force that small fingers surely can't muster.

Pros
  • My nephew loved it but it was really hard for him to put together
Cons
  • Can be time-consuming to complete

Occupies time well, but delicate pieces.

This was a very interesting build for my 15 year old son. A few of the pieces broke, though, during assembly. It is made of very thin wood and you have to bend some pieces to place them properly. Overall however, the broken pieces did not affect the look or function of the puzzle.

Pros
  • Decent Gift
Cons
  • Might require additional sanding to get rid of rough edges

Perfect gift for a builder

My boyfriend loves this. He has spent a few hours building this train. It was the best gift I have got him in years Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • Makes a great gift.
Cons
  • Can be messy if not assembled on a clean surface

Very cool and very fun

This was a very fun item to put together. The instructions are very clear and concise. The piece are pre-cut cleanly so no risk of inadvertent breakage. It is a very cool piece to display once completed.

Pros
  • Provides a fun and productive way to spend your leisure time
Cons
  • Could be difficult to take apart and reassemble

This is amazing in my review

I am studying for an exam that requires a good amount of perceptual ability so I wanted a puzzle that did not include too many directions and could figure out on my own using intuition. This model is amazing and you should definitely get it if you want to pass time. Build quality is great too. I got this for $25 around Black Friday so I would wait until then to buy it again.

Pros
  • 14 years and up
Cons
  • May require additional tools for smoother assembly

Intricate, intriguing, and beautiful.

A truly beautiful and functional model when assembled. The parts are beautifully crafted and the instructions for building the model are clear and concise. Very highly recommended!

Pros
  • I am addicted to these kits. This one was so fun to build and even cooler to show off.
Cons
  • Could be difficult to find replacement parts

Doesn't move after assembly

Wow this was quite the assembly, I think this would be hard for a kid. I did most of the assembly and my son helped gather pieces. Several pieces were difficult to push together, not at all as easy as their video, which must have had perfect smooth pieces There were several burrs and splinters on pieces popped out of the board. They provide a scant 1" square of sand paper. Three pieces broke during assembly, but only 1 had a spare piece included, so had to superglue. Luckily those pieces were…

Pros
  • Provides a sense of nostalgia for simpler, mechanical times
Cons
  • May not be the best value for money

Amazing fun for Puzzle lovers

I love this puzzle. This is my first one from this brand and its so much fun. No glue required so far. The instructions seem very straight forward, however sometimes getting the pieces to stay in place on the Zepplin is a little hard. I'm halfway done with the piece and already clocked over 3 hours. Fast arrival. There is a little filing necessary, but just to sand off the edges. The wood is of good quality.It was really unclear how to get the free gift on amazon (was using mobile) and I'm a…

Pros
  • Allows for customization and personalization
Cons
  • Could be difficult to find replacement clock parts

Great gift! WARNING : very delicate

They loved it! But whoever you gift this to make sure they have at least some patience. This is definitely not something you can just rush through.They were rushing through it and ended up snapping a piece trying to force something together. At the end of the day it becomes a life lesson :p

Pros
  • Offers a suitable challenge for both teens and adults
Cons
  • Could be time-consuming to disassemble

That I would get the item in a timely manner which I did

I used this item as a gift for my son. I sent it to him. He likes it and is pleased with it. It came to my house when the shipping was and came on the date it said it should arrive. I was pleased with that as I had to send it across the country. All i all I was pleased with everything.

Pros
  • Was a gift for my father for Christmas and he absolutely loved it!
Cons
  • Does not come with batteries

Holds your interest!

This was a present for an 10 year old boy. It was pretty technical and it took a lot time to set up and put together. It kept him busy for hours. He loved it.

Pros
  • Fosters feelings of accomplishment and personal fulfillment
Cons
  • Could be difficult to assemble for people with tremors

Interesting and well made- Makes a nice gift!

It is a great little gift which can be enjoyed by kids and adults alike. The pieces need a little more push to assemble compared to a typical LEGO but not too hard. I am not sure about the durability as I haven’t had it long enough. A well made and interesting piece overall.

Pros
  • Keep Good Time
Cons
  • Could be difficult to assemble for people with limited mobility

I love these 3D puzzles

GreT for older kids or for adults looking for some zen time. It took me about 10 hrs to put together. Once you start you can’t stop! The parts fit well together and I had no issues. Just follow the step-by-step directions and don’t get ahead of yourself and enjoy!

Pros
  • Encourages you to persevere despite challenges
Cons
  • May not be challenging enough for some people

Awesome model: my feedback

I was very impressed with this model. It’s easy to assemble, directions are fairly easy to follow.The great thing is , if the directions don’t make sense to you , you can go to the website and see how it’s done. Very helpful. It really is a high quality model and would make a great gift!

Pros
  • Timer Function
Cons
  • May not be as durable as other wooden puzzles

Coolest Wood Puzzle

This puzzle is more challenging to put together than other wood puzzles I have done. However, it is also the best wood puzzle I have ever done. It has easy to follow directions (also had videos available), gives you extra pieces in case you break or lose some, and is very sturdy. I was so excited to see the film work through the projector.

Pros
  • Engages you in a satisfying and rewarding DIY activity
Cons
  • Could be difficult to assemble for people with arthritis or joint pain

Great Gift: my feedback

I purchased this for my grandson who was 12 last Christmas, and he really liked it. It was easy for him to assemble. All of the kids like to watch it move around after winding up. Great quality for the price.

Pros
  • Can't say how easy to build since it was a gift... But it was loved and ooh and awws from all.
Cons
  • May not be worth the price

Becoming my favorite brand.

Very well thought out. I build one of these wood kits (close to once a week) with my daughter. This brand is so well thought out compared to others. They give you the tools to build it right. Clear illustrations (important to me since I have 50 year old eyes.)

Pros
  • Can lead to future craft-based hobbies or even career paths
Cons
  • Could be difficult to align the clock hands properly

So much fun best in my review

I built this with my 9 year old daughter , it was awesome! Great quality time and a fantastic outcome. She loved it in her room. We can’t wait to get started on another one.

Pros
  • Comes with easy-to-follow instructions
Cons
  • May not be suitable for individuals with epilepsy due to the flashing gears

Great display doesn't really move

Great item to put on a train lovers shelf. Don't really expect it to move like they advertise. It moves but barely but it does look cool. The instructions are pretty easy to follow. Think Legos. They even include a few extra parts. Probably takes about 4 hours to put together.

Pros
  • Takes about 3 hours to put together was fun for me to put together and then give to my mom for Christmas
Cons
  • The gears may be fragile and break easily

Perfect! - my new review

Got it for a gift for my mom and a project for me and my father. Absolutely wonderful!. Great way to spend time together on a little project. Even stained certain parts to add to the appearance. Great quality and easy to remove peices without splintering.i think it took us 3 hours in total with no rushing once stain was cured. I really recommend this for kids and adults alike for a gift/ fun activity to do. Love these models and can't wait to do more

Pros
  • Feels satisfyingly tactile to touch and manipulate
Cons
  • Could be difficult to assemble without a strong understanding of mechanical engineering
