Decent item, except it has no holes to view the insert (as shown in the picture), and whomever opens it must be careful not to drop any small pins. Beyond that, the item is pretty nifty for securing a gift.

I was very disappointed with this product. This is not a puzzle. I was hoping for a fun way to give money as gift. However, there is nothing to figure out. The box closes and locks with little magnets inside, so in order to open the box, the instruction is to bang the box on the table to disengage the magnets and then you can slide the top part to open. You will have to bang it pretty hard many times so don't do it on your nice coffee table. In fact, do it on cement or tile because you need to hit it really hard. Then once you have it open, you'll need some tweezers to get the money out because the opening is so flat, you cannot get your fingers in there and the contents do not slide out.

I bought this for my nephew so I could give him money for Christmas - in a creative way! I couldn't get the darn thing to open. So, I took out the hammer and the darn thing still didn't open. So, yes, this is a very durable item - unfortunately, too durable to use! I ended up throwing it away. Don't waste your money - it doesn't work.

If you are looking for something to "solve" buy something else. Not only is this NOT a puzzle, even with using the directions, ours would not open. I wanted something that took brain power but this took brute force and still wouldn't open properly. It was such a disappointment.

This item is not as pictured. It has three "cartoon" fake holes on the front, rather than the nice border design shown in the picture. It's really tacky. I will returning the three that I bought.
