Revainrating 4 out of 5

Much harder than you think

Bought because my wife loves all things Cinderella and it's an activity we can do together. After completing this puzzle you can display it. A few things you need to know. -- Unlike other 3D puzzles, there are no individual numbers on the pieces. This is important as there are manuals available online that list part numbers. Since they don't have numbers, it's very hard to find instructions if you get stuck.-- There is very little difference in the size of the parts of the main tower compared to the 4 corner towers. Adds a level of difficulty as it can be difficult to tell which pieces go with which towers. In fact, the main tower uses small-diameter elements that can easily be confused with elements of the corner tower. The finished puzzle is smaller than one would expect based on the number of pieces. Keep in mind that the lock isn't even 6 inches on the sides. Parts are not fixed. When you put the pieces of the tower together, don't be surprised if it doesn't stay together. You must be patient. The pieces are transparent making it difficult to see the edges of each piece. Buy some clear coat (gloss) if you want to keep it on display after work. If you don't spray this puzzle, it will fall apart. If you like a challenge, take this puzzle. If you get frustrated easily, don't take it, you'll end up throwing it in the trash or putting it aside and never touch it again.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
