CUSTOMER REVIEW



Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program (What's this?) My 15 year old daughter and I put this puzzle together one weekend afternoon. She joined in unexpectedly, actually.



You can separate all of the pieces into piles for each of the 3 sections of the puzzle, before you start to put it together. The pieces are numbered on the back and there is a chart that tells you which numbers go with which section - this is how you divide them into the piles. You could definitely do it just by hunting and trying to fit pieces together randomly, if you do not want to build it like a model and more like a puzzle.



Since it does have numbered pieces, it can be assembled by younger children with a little less frustration than just trying to fit pieces together randomly. Older kids or adults may like the challenge of not using the numbers, instead.



The pieces are made of a plastic feeling material. This makes them a bit more durable to assemble and reassemble. It is not made of cardboard like a typical puzzle, so you won't have to worry about the pieces peeling or anything like that when taking it apart or putting it back together a few times. The pieces which are used for the edges fold or bend for the jointed sides.



My daughter joined in after I had the bottom portion put together. It ended up being a nice thing to do together. We both enjoyed it and it looks pretty nice once it is all done. Her bedroom is Paris themed, so she has it sitting on a side table in her room. It is a nice reminder of time spent together and it looks good too.



It is fairly sturdy once put together. You can move it to another area without having to be too super cautious. I've never been much of a "puzzle person," but this one has made me look into more from this brand.



Overall a 5 star item. It is a great way to pass the time and you end up with a decorative piece in the end.
