Arrived in time, intact, good wrapping, and nice wood quality. Hard puzzle though, I divided it into pieces, and it took me a while to get it back…

As far as wood puzzles go, this is basically an extension of the classical snowflake puzzle. Rather than having all identical pieces and requiring a special slide to get them all together, however, there is a single key piece that holds everything in place. Given the construction, I’m not sure how else it would have been possible, so that’s to be expected.
As far as quality, this puzzle is top notch. As expected, this puzzle is made in Thailand, which is where many puzzles like this in the marketplace are sourced. Fortunately, Thailand produces some excellent wood puzzles and this is no exception.
What you don’t notice from the picture on Amazon is that there are actually two different wood grains used in this puzzle, which gives it a sort of symmetric pattern that you have to (or should anyway) incorporate into the assembly. It looks like the regular grain pictured, along with a lighter (birch?) looking grain. This was a very pleasant surprise when I was expecting all the pieces to be fairly identical, and enhances the aesthetics of the puzzle tremendously.
For the money, this is definitely a nice puzzle to have. I would highly recommend it, especially having seen it in person. Much nicer that what is shown in the file photo on Amazon.

i got this to occupy my friends who hang with me in my room sometimes. when it arrived my little sister tore into it, before i realized that there were not reconstrucion instructions included. therafter it took me about a week to find instructions. with instructions it took me almost an hour to assemble. lots of fun, and very challanging, but if your looking for somthing thats challanging, but dosn’t take to long look elsewere.
