I ordered this puzzle cube because it brought back memories-- we had a plastic version when I was young. I didn't read the product details very well though, and was very surprised at how small it is. It's still fun and a challenge for my children.

The small cubes are a bit under 3/4 inches on a side (more like 23/32).
Still a good size to manipulate.
The wooden blocks are well made and smoothly finished, with
in some cases a slight but noticeable imperfection in the
positioning of blocks which are glued together, although not
enough to significantly affect use.

The blocks do have a very noticeable paint-thinner smell still,
a week or so after we got them. I am hoping this will dissipate.
I plan on leaving them outdoors in the sun for a while when the
weather warms up.

They arrived promptly.

3.0 out of 5 stars Non-toxic? Maybe, but it has such a strong chemical smell!, December 4, 2010

I got this in the mail 2-3 weeks ago, and it still has a strong chemical/solvent smell. Also, one or two of the pieces were glued slightly off, just enough to see, though not enough to affect my ability to use it.
