Customer reviews of NKD Puzzle

Good product, but when I opened the parcel on the day I received it, I noticed that on one side of the plates 6 to 12, the wood looks as if it's been dampened (black spots can be seen (especially on plate 11)): I hope these spots won't be visible during assembly. Otherwise, the product is very well packaged.

Good quality

Quality material, top packaging, excellent value for money for a product made in France. 👍👍👍

Excellent service and the best puzzle assembly instructions I have ever seen. The quality of the materials is very high - better than anything else I have worked with. (Even the famous Codex Silenda was not nearly as good!)

Great service and delivery of the products. I'd recommend to all my friends

A magical moment. Nkd puzzle takes care of everything. Even the packaging of the pieces. The architecture is really well done. Bravo pour ce travail

Order received in good condition!

Superb

Excellent customer service that answered every question I had about shipping and delivery.

Tracked parcel, very well packed. All that's left is to take the time to assemble it!

Top-notch company that listens to its customers. Highly recommend.

Good quality, can't wait to finish editing!

I'm very happy with my purchase, NKD makes high-quality products.

Very attractive but doesn't work properly

Quality, fun, inexpensive little kit, excellent

After 3 months of assembly, I've finally finished Mecanigma! Several things are worth noting: - the final rendering is incredible - the mechanisms exude solidity and quality - the kit is really well built, complete and the manual! - the big negative point is the cut-outs, which force you to sand a very large part of the parts (invest in mini wood files and sandpaper first++) so that they slide smoothly or simply fit. All in all, a really nice adventure, thanks NKD (by the way, customer service is really reactive: I was missing a part and they sent it straight back to me).

Fast delivery and very well protected. Sublime and very complete kit! Thank you so much for this new challenge!

Top of the range, in every respect. Quality of plywood, precision of cuts, accuracy of adjustments, clarity of instructions, extra charge for delicate parts. A lot of hard work behind the scenes, as this is clearly not a beginner's kit. The end result is exceptional. We'll be back for more!

Very satisfied. Order very well packaged and collected very quickly. We have not yet opened the puzzles as they are gifts.

I've just finished assembling Mecanigma. I had a lot of fun assembling this magnificent box, its style is absolutely unique and magnificent, and it's a great satisfaction to see the object take shape day after day. A special thank you to Julien and Marjorie, who helped me out when I had questions about the assembly (2 questions in fact, the instructions are very clear overall, even for a model-building novice like me). Bravo for the design of this object!

Fast delivery, well-packaged product, interesting set assembly.

Excellent product

My grandson is very passionate

First of all, it's a superb product. As you build it, you discover the complexity of the mechanisms involved. It's a totally new experience, unlike other wooden models where you know where you're going. The final object is very rewarding for those who love mechanics. I can just imagine a medieval version, scale one, of such a chest in a castle! As for a few comments, I'd like to say that the light tint chosen lets the plywood layers show through too much. Personally, I preferred a dark oak varnish, for a look similar to that of a chest that had lived near a fireplace and its soot. I also added a lot of glue between the wooden plates to conceal the gaps. As the glue dissolves easily in water, excess glue is removed with a wet brush, then quickly dried with a hair dryer. The result is a one-piece trunk, with no reminder of its plywood-based construction. The same applies to the 3D-printed plastic components. A coat of varnish, darkly tinted, adds credibility. I think it would also be useful to say that an area of one of the wooden plates serves as a spare part in case of loss or breakage. By default, I've picked randomly from the plates. Perhaps I should also indicate when gluing certain parts (on gears and sides of the trunk, for example) to which other parts they will eventually fit. This would ensure that the glue joints are properly aligned for final assembly. Similarly, before varnishing sliding or interlocking parts, it's a good idea to sand them down first and test their fluidity of movement. To improve the look of plastic parts, a quick blow with a lighter removes the matt appearance of the parts on the detached point. Be careful with PLA plastic, however, as it becomes glassy at 60°c. Don't leave the finished trunk inside a car in the sun, as some plastic parts may warp. Finally, there's an error in the direction of drawings 2-32 and 2-33. Drawing 2-22 should also show X5. But frankly, these are details that the young and successful NKD puzzle team will surely improve from version to version.

Beautiful boxes with very detailed instructions. Quite difficult to make, better to start with simple boxes. Very satisfying results

Very happy with your products. Thank you

very nice site, beautiful products. very friendly and attentive team.

nothing to complain about everything is as it should be

Good reception and good material. Nevertheless there was a problem with the assembly but my 12 year old son solved the problem. Thank you for informing me about the problems with the instructions for the scriptum.

At the top!
