Review on Original 3D Crystal Puzzle Bird Puzzles by Mark Tarnowski

I have mixed feelings about this puzzle. From 100% hate to 100% love. I guess b/c wait. I didn't expect it to be such a problem. When I first received it, I opened the box and wondered what I would do with those plastic pieces. There is no manual. And it was the first of its kind I've ever tried to work on and it didn't work. The 1st half hour was wasted and even 2 parts weren't put together successfully. So I went to take a few deep breaths. My husband took over and after an hour and a half told me to throw these things away. 1/2 day later I tried again with a different approach. still didn't work. I tried again recently. This time I found the instructions on the box (didn't think of it) so I'm following this 1 line guide. And it worked. The problem lies not only in 3 dimensions, but also in a uniform color. It took me about 2 hours to finish and successfully connected them together. The finished product is a beautiful decorative piece. I felt really fulfilled looking at the bird. I personally think this puzzle is great. But you might think twice before giving it to someone as a gift.
