The first two boxes were inadequately wrapped for Amazon shipping and were damaged during shipping. The third box had a defect in the workmanship. What a shame, because a lot of work went into the making of the boxes. For the price of the box, one would think the box would be better wrapped and prepared for shipping to prevent damage.

The box is exquisitely tooled and finished, and there is a devilish little twist at one step of the solution that multiplies the difficulty. It makes the perfect gift for a bright youngster with strong morale.

I had a 5 step japanese box puzzle as a child and I loved it. This puzzle is 5 times better! Very finely crafted, beautif to look at and a pleasure to solve. Don’t worry if the sliding pieces seem a little stiff in the beginning. They will relax with repeated practice. See if you can solve it with your eyes closed!

I was VERY impressed with this 27 step wooden puzzle box! It is quality constructed and beautifully finished with smooth edges and a nice pattern! The instructions to solve it ARE included, and they are VERY easy to follow! I will be putting a Christmas gift inside (keeping the solution manual), and seeing how long it takes them to solve it! 😆 I would highly recommend this puzzle box, and give it an A+

My husband loved this item when received for Christmas. It was a replacement one because his first one broke over 9 years ago. Only problem he finds himself having is it gets stuck. Kind of like the pieces are too tight but rather then that, he's in love with it.

When fully closed this puzzle box appears seamless. It is well made and fits precisely, so expect a snug fit with no loose parts when you shake it. It's so snug, that it wouldn't be a good gift for the elderly, very young or those with poor finger dexterity or strength. This puzzle box is very precisely made, so firm pressure is needed but brute force is not!I hid 4 Hanayama puzzles inside (dolce, twist, spiral, o'gear. sold separately), arranging them to fit (while in their original assembled positions) is a puzzle in itself. I can fit 5 puzzles (dolce, twist, spiral, o'gear, square) if I use less bulky ones or allow them to be stored in their "seperated" position. It's fun to hand the box to a friend, they feel the weight of the puzzles inside as well as hearing them move slightly but they have to figure out how to open the box. Whoever gets the box open, gets first choice on which of the Hanayama puzzles they will solve. And just like the puzzles, putting the box back together (and arranging the puzzles to fit back inside) can be more difficult than taking them apart.The first time you solve this puzzle box, it can take some time due to the tight tolerances on the box and the amount of steps. Once you solve it, there isn't much difficulty in re-opening it.Warning *HINTS* - the solution is mostly repetitive with a small twist near the end. Putting it back together can lead to a false solution with a "dead-end". If you get stuck here, remove the lid and start again. A solution is provided, but isn't needed if you are patient and persistent.
