Smonex Wooden Organizer Compatible with Star Wars: Rebellion Board Game and Rise of The Empire Expansion - Board Game Insert Made with Two Thematic Colors

Pros:-Fits perfectly inside the original box, and I mean perfect. It's not so tight that getting everything out is obnoxious, but it feels solid when it's closed and things don't shuffle around.-If you have the expansion, all of that stuff fits and is accounted for too-The design of every single piece is well thought out and thematically appropriate. The laser cutting and engraving are impressively precise and detailed. Super cool. The rebel containers are an off-white stain, and the Empire containers are a light gray.-The dice tower is amazing, especially because dropping dice on the game board is a pain because of how full it can get.-Almost no setup is needed when you take the cards out of the box, they're ready to be played right out of the box. Obviously, you still need to set up the game pieces.-It's clear a lot of heart (and time) went into designing everything.Cons:-Assembly. Because there are so many pieces, this took like 6 hours. I'm sure you could cut down this time significantly if you just slap some glue on there, but it would be a shame to ruin the awesome finish because you got glue everywhere.Recommendations:I found that thinning out some wood glue (I used Titebond II) in a 50/50 ratio works. I painted the glue on the edges with a small paintbrush. I used rubber bands to hold everything together while it dried. If you do this, make sure you don't make them so tight that it deforms the containers, and if the container has a lid be sure to use it while it dries. Then I wiped off any excess gently with a damp towel. I even went back after a few minutes and filled in the gaps as the glue absorbed into the edges of the plywood. If you want a super professional finish, do it this way. Now that it's dry, you can't see any glue spots and everything is solid as a rock. They do include rubber bands in the package, but not enough to do the whole job. Buy more if you want an easier job.Conclusion: This has to be the most precise and coolest thing that I own. And I feel like I have some part in that because the glue-up worked so well. If you love this game, buy this organizer. Simple as that.

PROSAwesome quality. Awesome instructions. I glued it together with titebone II very precisely using 50+ inexpensive q-tips. Looks really, really awesome once everything is assembled.CONSLike another reviewer had said:- 6+ hrs to assemble- Oddly there is (1) extra card tray of the darker (Imperial) finish. One of the nicer trays too with a bump and see-thru cover. We just use after setup it for the unused mission and objective cards.- There is (1) rebel leader that does not fit in the smonex leader tray (presumably because two lukes?)- Handful of typos in the instructions about what cards go in which tray- The triangle base on the infantry for both factions does not fit into the smonex trays very well. Smonex even acknowledges this is a problem in their instructions and says to file down the triangle cut-outs in their trays. Yea right that would take forever. Since it's all laser-cut on a laser-table I'm not sure why they don't just make the triangle cut-outs a smidge bigger. There is seemingly plenty of room to make them bigger. I just filed down the plastic a little with a nail file took about 30min to file them all.

This product is very well made! Bought it for my husband and he loved it. My only complaint is that two of the deck holders were printed in the wrong color. The company responded to my emails about it and were very nice but in the end they refunded me a bit of money for the mistake because they couldn’t send me a new print. Great customer service and excellent product

Buy this.

Once put together everything fits like it should.Notes:* There's one extra card tray (bonus?) - all the cards are accounted for, and the box has no extra space* Rebels have 13 leaders and the tray holds 12 (there are 2 Luke leaders)
