My son age four made this Eiffel tower with some help from my sister. We had to use glue to stick it together so kids would break it. Bottom pieces did fall when my (age four) son try to build next piece above it. Anyway he had fun with it and now it is a decoration pieces for his room. He shows it to EVERYONE who enters our home. He is so proud of it. I think age six and up probably will have more fun making it because they will be doing most of the work independently with less help from an adult.

My students have completed 8 or 9 wooden puzzles recently and this one has been of the worst quality. The wood broke easily, was warped, and didn't fit together well. I will avoid purchasing puzzles made by this company. The ones made by "Creatology" are much better.

We purchased this puzzle for our daughter for a school project. It was fairly durable however, she would never have been able to put it together without help and she's 14. You definitely need two sets of hands. Also, it doesn't stay together on its own, so we had to glue it to keep it from falling apart. Once we did that, it looked great.

I bought a few of these for my twelve year old son and they were very difficult to put together. After hours of sanding and even having to super glue the peivces because they just would not fit right, it was still falling apart.

We got this for our 9 year old son for Christmas. First, the pieces are made out of balsa wood and it is very fragile. Trying to "force" the pieces to fit will result in breakage, so beware! Assembling this requires deft and nimble fingers, not ham hocks. The pieces are not ready-to-assemble. Each section comes in a thin, solid piece of balsa that is "stamped." You have to push out the little stamped pieces of wood (there are hundreds of them) to prepare each section. Some push right out, but others do not - and if you push too hard you could easily break the whole section in half. It's not undoable - you just need to be very careful. Once all of the sections are prepped, assembling them is pretty straightforward. The instructions are mostly just a diagram showing you what goes where. If you can look at a picture and figure it out, you'll be okay. The pieces fit together by pushing an edge of one piece into a cut-out slot in another. Some pieces fit better than others. Everything matched up, but you have to be careful not to force the pieces together or you will break it. It's about a yard tall and a foot and a half at the base, so make sure you have a place to put it.
