SiamMandalayLumberjack's Challenge: Handmade & 3D Brain Teaser / Wooden Puzzle for Adults with SM Gift Box(Pictured)

My husband liked the fact that it’s made of wood but after about 30 seconds he got it apart and 2 mins later it was back together - too easy for what they call a level 6

Well made, no harsh smells, lovely wood color, fairly easy to read directions. Good size puzzle. Bought two other puzzles from this company and they are beautiful as well (Double Lock a Ball & Shooting Star)! Would definately buy again as a gift.

This was a Christmas gift for my 14 year old. He loved it! Once solved, it does lose its appeal. Well made and priced reasonably.

Good Christmas gift

This is a difficult puzzle, made more so by the lack of a clear depiction of the finished product anywhere on the packaging or instructions. It's hard to know how to solve it when you do not know how it is supposed to look. There are, however, step-by-step instructions. These were necessary but detracted from the fun.A lot of the enjoyment of puzzles like these comes from the fidgeting and iterations as you get closer and closer to solving them. My wife, who is very good at 3D puzzles, struggled to find this rhythm. As much as she tried different combinations, it was hard to know if she was getting closer to the solution. She eventually used the instructions and was able to solve it. Now that she knows how to do it, there is still enjoyment from putting the pieces in the right place, but the satisfaction that comes from doing the hard work never came.Difficulty aside, the wood is pleasant to the touch. The pieces slide nicely together, the coloring is consistent, and the product is well made overall. If there were a more intuitive solution process or at least a clearer picture of the finished puzzle, then it would get five stars.
