cd has to be one of the best shops out there excellent selection and wonderful customer service everyone is so amazing I definitely recommend this shop to all and anyone I know!!😁

I thought this was a very satisfying puzzle box. Well constructed and functioned perfectly.

The number of potential assemblies can be intimidating and threatened to keep this one in my solving backlog for a long time. But after a very reasonable logical aha, you'll find the number of possibilities drop sharply to achieve the intended goal! Spent at least a couple days on and off so close I could taste the coming victory. :)

I have a 3D printer and was familiar with Akaki's designs prior to this release, but the opportunity to have some versions made by Eric and the CD team was too good to pass up. Beautiful work, and this basket is now the one I enjoy using most, even with my own printed pieces! Great collab.

The woods and joints used on In Brackets suit my tastes very nicely. Love the contrast and the angles. I'll have trouble doing colors justice in a photo but will try... surprised these can still be had, but nice to see some stock available for newcomers to the site! I'd say difficulty is medium, but getting my head around the possible movements was not intuitive.

I love Slideways and its variants (Double, Cube, Ball...). Some day maybe I can find them all. The canarywood out of this batch is truly wonderful. Thank you!

I love Eric's boxes and complex puzzles, but sometimes it's nice to enjoy the elegance and simplicity of a solidly built put-together like this. Magnets make for good fiddling and (bounded) exploration. Recommend the whole series of Cubes - plenty of the unexpected to be found. In fact, my 6 year old son took 3 Cubes and 4 Cubes and within a few minutes had found a stable (but not completely magnetically-joined) 4x4x4 voxel cube to be made out of the combined pieces. Can you find it?

I really enjoyed this - nice example of fun to be had without significant difficulty. Construction is solid and is some of the finer lasercut/laminate work I own. Will be on the lookout for its big brother.

Just an A+ job all around, glad to have a piece of the Artisan series

How did I solve this the first time?!
I think I got lucky. Once you've got it you might not want to take it apart again... but then how will you see the beautiful nested morado six piece mini?

Needless to say if I ever get it back together again it may stay that way for a bit!

I love the chaos of dumping out a box of packing puzzle pieces. This one has an unexpected solution that took me quite some time to find. Despite seeing the completed top on my shelf, I still find it difficult to keep the solution in mind. Good re-solve value for me!

The two-toned Sycamore is unique, love it.

I have an original copy of this awesome design that was made years before Eric and his CD team produced them. I'm always impressed with CD craftmanship, but I couldn't imagine it possible to love the CD Daedalus any more than the original. FYI, it is possible and then some!! All the pieces move like buttah and the final assembly shape is perfectly square and flawless. Way to step it up, CD Team!!!

This is a great packing puzzle (or maybe I should say puzzle set, since you actually have 3 different packing puzzles here). The normal high precision woodworking and fitting you expect when you get a puzzle from Eric. The puzzles are not close to easy for me, either! Still working to solve the simplest of the 3. Seems easy enough to make a cubic structure that fits outside the basket, but the challenge comes in sorting through how you maneuver the pieces to pack them in the basket. I’ve managed to work through some interesting rotations and think I may finally have it, only to end up with a final piece that I just can’t get in place - so it’s back to another try...

This puzzle set gives a lot of value for the price, that’s for sure, but I’m finding it’s certainly no picnic. 🙂
