Seems OK... Assembly instructions not so obvious.
I just bought our first Arduino along with a few shields as a learning project for son, so I'm new to the product.Here's my thoughts.PROS:1. The Danger Shield arrived promptly in good condition, so I can't complain about the Vendor's delivery.2. I like the Potentiometers in this product better than from other vendors because of the integrated LED. (Not sure about the functionality yet)3. Best Price I could find.4. Comes in Kit form: Really good way to teach my son soldering.CONS:1. According to Amazon, it's sold by NKC electronics. NKC Sells a Danger shield on their own website, but it's not the one pictured. Theirs is red this one is green. Initially it was a little frustrating as the supplied resistors and board layout are different than one I received. I finally noticed the back of the board had a label "Manufactured By Seeed Studio". So I went to theSeeed web site and found sufficient information to assemble the board. There's no reason, they couldn't reference a website on the sticker of the packaging.[...]2. If you have a Arduino Uno... A. The "Button 1" solder leads press against the USB Shield of the Arduino Uno. B. The "Button 3" solder lead presses against the Power connector of the Arduino Uno.That being said, I'm sure I can get a standoff jumper to resolve this issue. (Just Amazon search for "Arduino Stackable Header Kit")I notice that Zach Smith (The original designer???) is using some electrical tape as an insulator.[...]3. Currently looking for it, but some demo code should be readily available at the vendor or manufacturer's site. I'm hitting a few dead links... Will have to do some searching.I'll try and post a link when I find it.

No assembly instructions provided
Product is fine. Packaging and instructions get 1-star, the device itself gets 5-stars, hence my 3-star rating.What showed up was not the SeeedStudio version, but was a SparkFun version (same/same red vs. green). However, it came without any assembly instructions - not even a link to go get a PDF. Potentiometers and 9-segment LED were loose in the box and all had mangled pins.After digging online, I located instructions. Here are the online instructions from SparkFun: https://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/274
