Review: Great Build Quality, A Little Too Easy - First things first, this puzzle says "these pieces have a secret: each time their arrangement is changed when recreating the original shape, the solution changes." This is mostly false. It's true that the pieces can be put together in different ways, however the solution is the same no matter how they are assembled. It might *technically* be different, but not in any meaningful way. In terms of build quality: This is a great piece. It looks good, fees heavy and strong. Mine came slightly scuffed up, but it's very minimal to the point where you wouldn't notice unless you were examining the finish of the pieces. The puzzle is smooth and built to last. In terms of the puzzle: This is my first ever puzzle of this type, so I wanted to start strong with a difficult challenge. That's why I bought this puzzle, it is rated 6 of 6. I was able to take this puzzle apart and put it back together within 20 minutes. I'm a little disappointed because I was expecting it to take me an hour or more, but maybe my expectations were set too high. I wish I hadn't read the puzzle's theme before attempting to solve it, as the theme served as a one-word hint which made the puzzle a little easier. The theme is given on one of the paper inserts describing the puzzle that comes with the packaging. I found this puzzle on Puzzle Master and they give it a 9/10 difficulty rating, so if you are looking for the hardest Hanayama cast puzzle I suggest you try the hourglass puzzle. That one gets a 10/10 difficulty rating and is a common result I found when searching online for the most difficult Hanayama puzzle. I can't personally attest to its difficulty, however I liked this square puzzle enough that I've already purchased the hourglass puzzle. At around $10, this isn't a bad deal. You'll get at least 30 minutes of enjoyment and a cool puzzle to toy around with and show to friends. Overall, I'm satisfied with this puzzle though I do with it were more challenging.
Review: Satisfied customer - Not sure I would rate this one's difficulty at level 6, which is supposed to be the hardest puzzles they make. That being said, it was fun to do decipher and it also makes a great fidget toy once you figure out the solution. All of the Hanayama products are extremely well made with exacting tolerances. I have gotten pretty much every one that is available on desertcart and I have not had an issue with any of them being slightly off on the dimensions which then breaks the puzzle.
