This was a gift & my son in law loved it. Cool, unique item.

I bought it for my nine-year-old grandson and he loves it

I got this for my daughter, husband, and myself to build together as an attempt at fun family time. I was very successful and it took us a couple of hours or so to finish. It actually works and we spent some time taking turns trying to knock down the little wooden Viking figurine that comes with it. Would absolutely recommend.

My kid loved this, definitely a project to put together but that's part of the fun. It works to shoot balls and looks really cool. Love this craft set and so my did kid. Great alternative to Legos. We've had ours a couple months and it's still holding together. Easy to follow instructions.

Got this for a Father's Day gift since my dad likes making models, etc. He got a kick out of it! And yes, the cannon works! He's been using it to shoot the pingpong balls around the house for the cats to chase. Excellent decision, happy memories!

I bought the Ballista and Cannon bundle as a surprise for my husband and he honestly had a blast putting it together and now playing with, aka shooting our dogs lol. The instructions are just pictures, but he said it wasn't complicated at all and easy to follow. I am definitely going to be buying more products, more for myself now. Great company and fast shipping, thanks Wood Giant!

This model once built should give you a ballista which actually rotates, elevates and fires.
It's made of wood, and is really good quality. including decent cogs.
The instructions are reasonable, but it was easy to go wrong and I ended up building it properly after a second attempt.
I'd say you can fire the bolts about 2-3 metres which is pretty impressive, though do watch out when doing so to ensure you don't hurt anyone!

These are never easy to build but they are the right amount t of challenge and fun. My son really enjoyed that this one shot things, of course! We’ve purchased about 10 of these kits and this was just as good as the others.

Assembly for a 10 year old required dads assistance. The build quality was incredibly surprising and included spare parts! My nephew was not impressed when he unwrapped it, but once he started building it, he absolutely loved this toy. He treasures the completed build, and was left wanting another one to do battle with! I highly recommend!

It took me 2 hours to fully assemble this cannon, certain parts of the assembly were very fiddly and I had a couple of the smaller pieces break as I was putting them in, but luckily there were spares provided for these pieces.
It would make an ideal gift for older children who enjoy crafting and making things, and a good alternative to jigsaw puzzles for those who enjoy hands on puzzles and the like.
I think the price is fair and it’s a nice little gift that can help kill a few hours, I doubt it could be done any faster than the time I took to put it together.
The instructions are really good, giving step by step instructions for assembly that are easy to follow, the hardest bit is right at the end when the elastic bands need to be put in for the firing mechanism to work.

I gave it a 4, it not so much as easy as it was a bit challenging. At times I thought I needed 3 hands. It was most definitely fun to build.

This was an item my 11 year old asked for. He built it in under two hours. It works well. He says he would “highly recommend” this puzzle.

Bought this for my Dad who is in his 70's. He was absolutely delighted and keeps phoning me with updates about his progress. Although he has arthritis in his fingers he is still able to manipulate the small components. My Dad is a retired engineer and isn't easily impressed but he is genuinely enthusiastic about the accuracy of the cutting and the quality and design of the kit. He reckons it will take him weeks to complete and is very happy about that! As far as I'm concerned it's money well spent, he couldn't be happier with his present and it will give him hours of pleasure. Then he will get to fire tiny arrows at his children when they come to visit, which will no doubt delight him further. Highly recommended present for hard to please Dads, but I think I might get myself one of these kits to keep me entertained at Xmas.

I'm a huge fan of puzzles, and I absolutely loved putting this one together. It's a whole different experience compared to normal flat-picture puzzles because it's almost like a combination of wood-crafting and miniature-building.

The pieces are excellent quality and the instructions simple enough to follow. Everything fits together perfectly.

The final result is brilliant. It looks unique on display and I feel quite proud of having completed it all! The fact that the ballista is actually functional and can hurl the little arrows across is just icing on the cake!

I think the 3 hr assembly time is a bit optimistic - it took me around 5.5 hours, but I enjoyed every bit of it

Highly recommended!

This 3D wooden jigsaw puzzle is brilliant, it has everything you need in the box to build it, along with an instruction booklet. The puzzle has 158 pieces plus a few spares in case of breakage and once built is 12.6" x 5" x 8" and it says will take around 2 to 3 hours to build, although we've found that it's taking longer

I had a read through the instructions and it's much too fiddly and time consuming for me, so my son has taken over building it, as he's fitting it in around work, it's taking longer than expected,

For anyone who loves jigsaw puzzles this is a must buy, it's fun to do and can even be played with (carefully) afterwards

I love kits like this, and this one was great to build. It took me quite a few hours to build, and I spaced it out over a few days. In some places it is so fiddly and I got frustrated but sorted it out in the end. I didn’t need to use any glue it all slowed together fine. The tiny screws went in good too. I was a bit worried as some of my little wooden pegs splintered off or sliced in half due to the wood, but there were spares of the pegs at the end anyway.
The instruction manual was easy to follow and everything is clearly labelled. Great fun to make, and even more great fun firing it with the ping pong balls included.

Brilliant Puzzle! This cannon was so much fun to build, easy to read and understand instructions. This took me 4 days at 2 hours a night, so about 8 hours. Really good fun, each piece is labelled and you follow along with the instruction book. Can't believe it actually works! Once built it is strong and sturdy. My children love it! Great quality, well made

My 13 yr old son loves building 3D models. This is the first time, he’s attempted a wooden 3D model but he was more than up for the challenge.

Everything he needed came nicely packed in the box. There are various sheets of wood inside the box. Simply follow the model design and get building. Please note; glue is not needed to build this cannon.

It’s supposed to take 3-4hrs to build but my son has taken just over a week. He’s been working on the model after school and the weekend to get it finished

Watching him this week has been amusing; he’s normally finished very quickly but this wooden 3d cannon, has been a challenge for him. It’s fiddly and a little time consuming but he had a lot fun and didn’t give up.

I think I’ll get wooden 3D models for him from now on this site, due to the fact that’s it’s more challenging than architectural buildings.

Built it in about half an hour taking my time, instructions are super clear just make sure you pay attention to the gears that they’re all aligned and the instructions will tell you how and also where to lubricate. I’m gonna paint it next! Super cool little desk toy for my shelf!

the tiny screws were very hard to install but it works well
