The product protection of the beech wood nutcracker from Neustanlo was perfect. The nutcracker was delivered safely in a sturdy cardboard box and the product arrived undamaged.
We also found positive aspects with regard to the sustainability of the packaging . Avoiding unnecessary packaging waste and plastic reduces the environmental impact. However, we noticed that the box for the product was slightly larger than necessary, so there is still room for improvement here.
The contents of the packaging fully corresponded to the product description. The nutcracker was present and had no major defects.
In addition, no instructions for use were included, but this is not absolutely necessary for this product as the nutcracker is quite intuitive to use . Nevertheless, a brief note on caring for the wooden material would have been desirable to ensure the longevity of the product.
Overall, the first impression of the Neustanlo beech wood nutcracker is positive. The packaging and contents show that attention has been paid to product protection and sustainability. The product therefore makes a solid impression.
