A larger puzzle with the same beautiful wood as others, this is an impressive puzzle in part because it seems more simple than it is....or maybe we were having a bad day! Either way, don't be fooled by the simplicity of the form, this provides a serious challenge for the more dedicated enthusiast without stressing you to the point of giving up. Don't leave this one on the coffee table or guests will obsess thorughout the entire evening...it's not a five minute puzzle - at least if you don't peak at the solution! <br /> <br />I own/play with a lot of these puzzles BUT...to get a true sense of the puzzle, I throw out the instructions without ever looking at them whenever bringing home a new puzzle. Also, because my better half is visually impaired, it gives us both a "level" playing field with a little friendly competitive. See my other reviews for a break down on difficulty level, quality of workmanship and more. Rating: 5 / 5 This appears easier than it is…at least I struggled with it more than expected.
