Puzzled Lucky Dragon and Phoenix Wooden 3D Puzzle - Wooden Dragon and Phoenix Puzzle Toy, Educational DIY Phoenix and Dragon Puzzle, 3D Wooden Puzzle Model Kits to Build and Paint with 147 Pieces Pack

It was a bit challenging at first, it didn't give you instructions step by step, only tells you to connect the numbers. But I trudge on, till I finish the project. I feel proud that I was able to complete it despite the limited instruction. Better than therapy!!!!!

I bought this for my daughter for Christmas. She and I have both made several different 3D wooden puzzles and it all brands are created equal, but this was awful. No real directions. You just have to go as they are numbered and try to figure out how it attaches without pictures. She got maybe halfway through and then eventually had to quit. Even with a good guess, pieces weren't going together well. It's too bad really because it would have looked very cool, but we were both stumped.

My son loved this puzzle and it kept him busy for hours. The “instructions” are on the back of the picture, consisting of numbered pieces and their points of connection. Had to purchase crazy glue because the spines kept falling without it. Strict instructions were given to my 12yr old son to not glue without positive assurance that it was correct and to only apply a dot of glue (crazy glue mistakes were corrected with acetone soaked q-tips at the application site). The final result was satisfying and stunning.

It needs a booklet of instructions. Not just "fit 1 to 1, 2 to 2, and so on." That is an awful cop-out. I immediately became overwhelmed, not knowing where to start.

Can't give much of a review because these are birthday & Christmas presents for later. But they sure look great!

Instructions hard to follow and I have made many wooden ship models

Great gift for a 13 yr old. She put it all together then marked certain pieces. Took it apart. Painted those certain pieces and put it back together.

There are no instructions, you have to guess how it goes together. The pieces are bad they don't fit snug so you have to glue it together otherwise it just falls apart. Also, the pieces don't come out of the panels easy they break on the ends and leave layers chipped off. I finally tried to finish putting it together but when I put either one of the figures on the ring it just kept falling over, It doesn't balance at all, it's a piece of crap!

There were no instructions, only indication to follow picture, but that was not adequate. It is a wood model kit with pieces that should pop out of the board, but it was not well machined, so was VERY difficult to remove pieces without damaging them. Have done many models and this was least satisfactory.
