I chose this one over the prettier one because it was wood and not paper. The wood is a little on the thin side but it will suffice. Painting it maybe a challenge because I do like the squares to denote distance for miniatures. The illustrations for beds, tables etc are much too small, but that is a minor thing. Over all I really like it and would recommend the purchase.

I bought a ship similar to this one and paid over 100 dollars for it. It is heavier and uses cleaver magnates to assemble and dissemble and also has 3 masts. However in play, both ships function very similarly and this one was a fraction of the price. That being said, this is a much lighter model. The first thing I did was snap off the front bow when I attempted to quickly assemble this piece. GO VERY SLOWLY when you begin to assemble this guy until you get the hang of it. It really goes together quite easily and is very intuitive. This guy looks great and for the price I favor it over the much more expensive model. Now I need this @#%$ pandemic to be over so we can get back to live play.

Great product, but it was missing one of the support beams.

I will say, I fully recommend it.HOWEVERthe pictures are deceiving.At least, for me; mine didn't come with little stairs or those cutout holes for them. Maybe the product changed since I bought it; and its not a deal-breaker.Running a pirate campaign for dnd, when the Wizkids ship mini is 170-250$; this was a much better option.Looking at the pictures, as I was searching for a second ship; I realized they have stairs now, and I don't recall that being a feature back in Jan. when I purchased mine. Again, I'd love to have them, but its not a problem to not.Fully recommend, buy it; your players and group will love it!

It looks exactly like the picture and the size is really nice. Although when assembling they leave a lot of space in between the connecting parts but it works if you hot glue it which is like the only way to assemble it. But its really good to play on! Worth the buy

I like it, but bottom deck is difficult to access. I wish it included a mast to make it appear more boat-like. I'm gonna have get creative for that.

Exactly what I needed for my game and much cheaper than the alternatives. That being said, be careful and only do one side's post before inserting all the rows. Easy to set up, but can be messed up if careless.

Back end of the ship didn't fit in all the way, needs some more leeway so it doesn't become a superglue mess

At the price I paid, this cannot be beat. IT assembles quickly, and looks great. My players were blown away when I dropped it on the table. But note, the instructions say you don't need to glue it - I recommend that you do. While gluing will prevent you from ever dissembling, it is simply too unstable without it. It would fall apart with just a little bit of movement. But that is not really a gripe - this thing is great. I'm considering getting another one.
