Carver Dan Puzzle Boxes

Has anyone purchased these puzzle boxes? What's the quality like, in person? Does the "key" stay in place and remove smoothly? Is opening complicated?

I'm looking for a new and clever way to present a few smaller sized gifts this year.

I would like to know too @JeanLouiseFinch !

Thanks for the thread.

I've bought a couple of these and they're very high quality! They're unique and excellent carving!

If you're looking for a puzzle box that's hard to figure out, this isn't it.

Q used to carry a couple of plastic puzzle boxes, that were much more of a challenge to figure out how to open, but I haven't checked to see if they still have them here.

@KingstonMom Thanks! I'm actually looking for easy to open, rather than creating a frustrating experience.

I've purchased 6 of these over the years. The quality is very good. Most of the ones I purchased were the original carved notch and a couple of them were the magnet lock. All of them are still in good condition and still used. I will probably pick up one or two more because they make a nice gift.

I have several of Carver Dan's puzzle boxes and have given them as gifts. The Quality is excellent, works of art and I display them as such. There are so many wonderful designs to choose from and you can tell the time and effort that went into each box. I wouldn't hesitate to give one as a gift and they are easy to open. The workers who create these boxes are skilled and talented.

@JeanLouiseFinch I have purchased two and they are lovely. You won't be disappointed.

I have purchased these boxes for gifts and agree that the quality is excellent. The gift receivers were all delighted. One consideration: the interior space is fairly small and the enclosed gift should, in many of the boxes, be something as small as cash, a piece of jewelry, etc.

That's exactly what I've planned for them, @Q-Checker. Thanks for the confirmation.
