Frequently Asked Questions
What functions does the antiques box have?
The box has six compartments that are opened and closed using a mechanical lever. They are perfect for jewelry and other small treasures.
Are there secret compartments?
Yes. Two secret compartments open with the push of a hidden button—a detail that amazes everyone who receives it.
What size is the finished model?
The finished box measures 28 x 22 x 20 cm, and its oriental design elements make it an eye-catcher in any room.
Can I do this even without any experience?
Yes, with Level 3 (Intermediate) and a build time of 2–5 hours, the box is quite doable even without any prior experience.
Do I need glue or tools?
You don't need glue—the 185 laser-cut pieces simply snap together. If you'd like, you can secure individual connections for added stability. Handy tips for building: Use a utility knife and a file to cleanly remove the pieces and smooth out tight spots; use the small hammer to gently tap the snap connections into place so everything fits securely. All three tools are included in our tool set.
What if a part is missing or breaks?
Our spare parts service is free: Just tell us which part you need, and we'll send it to you as soon as possible. Support is available weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with an average response time of about 30 minutes. Shipped from Berlin · Free shipping on orders of €35 or more.
Function & Mechanics in Detail
This model from Ugears makes it clear: an antique casket doesn't always have to be made of gold and silver. The filigree wooden model looks traditional, antique and yet modern at the same time - a great combination.
Traditionally, a casket can be used to store small treasures. However, the antique casket can itself be a treasure within your four walls. No matter in which room, it is a real eye-catcher everywhere. At the same time, it impresses with its versatility. On the one hand, the small box can be used to store jewelry and other small items. It is also ideal as a gift that is sure to make an impression and that the recipient can enjoy every day.
Beautiful details and oriental elements
In addition to its versatility, the antique casket also stands out for its uniqueness. The reason: the impressive wealth of detail and its own style. The latter is realized above all by the exquisite carvings in flower design on the sides. Oriental elements are omnipresent.
The mechanism integrated into the wooden model is also a supporting pillar. If you pull on the top cover, three main blocks can be activated, which fold out.
Mirror mechanisms move the upper surfaces. The third block also moves the bottom drawer, which is in the middle of the box. The mechanism can reveal a total of 6 compartments, which hardly anyone would have thought possible before. And it gets even better, because the casket also hides a secret or two.
To do this, you have to look for a hidden button on the back. As soon as you press it, two secret compartments will open. An ideal place for a little secret.
A simple and entertaining process
When it comes to detailed wooden models, the antique casket from Ugears is definitely one of the best. However, so much detail and so many elements need to be assembled first. The mechanical casket consists of 185 components. The good news is that these interlock perfectly - the assembly is a simple and entertaining process. This normally takes around 2 to 3 hours. The result is a unique casket.
