The box is much, much smaller than I thought. But it is about 2-3 inches. I opened it to see what it was all about. Pretty cool. I did, however, randomly find two circular magnets on the table. I figured it was from the kit. Probably should make those more secure. Seems like they would be important. Pretty excited tho. This is my first 3D metal puzzle. Other reviews say it’s difficult but then again a great puzzle for beginners. Either way, I’ll find out. I have the necessary tools and can’t wait to get started.I purchased this in August 2024 and all of the instructions are in English. From the earlier reviews, they said the instructions are in Chinese. I guess they heard and fixed this.It has two papers. One is for instructions and the other is parts identification. This is great because you can place a piece with the picture. I really like that. Makes it easier if the instructions were to confused me.So far, everything looks top notch except the magnets should be more secure. Now, I’ll build.It’s amazing that such an intricate piece only has two small sheets of pieces.Make sure you read the little notes before beginning. Like the position of your clippers and pliers. How to fold the parts. This will help prevent breakage. And probably the most important is which side is up. If it should be the decorative side or the underside.A magnifying glass is a plus for the hard to see slots. The bending of the metal is intricate but easy if you take your time.Overall, it was fun (being my first time) completing a 3D metal puzzle. The only downside was some paint would chip off from using the pliers. Other than that it’s very ornate and pretty.

I definitely took my time trying to make sure I got a metal puzzle set that was going to make up for my lack of experience with metal; I've done a few wood puzzles but knew metal would be different with bending. I figure if i break one bug at least i have 5 others. This was perfect as a first piece. Yes it's small, and I have shaky hands but still felt it was not difficult. So far I have 2 done and none ruined!

This metal 3D puzzle was a really fun and satisfying project! The pieces are well-made and fit together nicely, and the final result looks amazing on display. Just a heads-up—it’s definitely more challenging than it looks. You’ll need patience and steady hands, but if you enjoy detailed work, it’s totally worth it. Great for puzzle lovers who like a bit of a challenge! Be sure to have better eyesight than me.

Very nice puzzle.

I thought i stood some chance of completing this one as its "beginner" level. It's in my trash though. Parts are teeny tiny and I could not figure it out. If you have any challenges with eyesight, dexterity or understanding instructions from diagram only, this isn't for you, regardless of level.....

This was a challenge because it’s so small, but in the end it’s gorgeous.

Level 1 difficulty? If that’s true, I don’t want to try a level 2. The tabs and slots are too small and I was tempted to throw it away several times while I put it together.

The recipient was Very satisfied.
