If you're into jigsaw puzzles, then this is the ultimate challenge for you! I put it together in about 2 weeks, but I was at it at least 8 hours every night. The instruction manual says that the puzzle comes in two pouches of pieces, but mine was just in one big bag! This made it twice as difficult, but that's the fun of this puzzle! You definitely need a really big table to work on, and you'll spend about a day just sorting out the pieces and disgarding the "scrap" pieces with all the red dots on them. There is a secret "mini-puzzle" of about 35 pieces that is mixed in with the bag, but they stand out so much you can't miss them, even though you have over 3000 pieces to choose from. Start with this first just to get the feel of how the pieces fit, then it's onto the big kahuna! I started from the base and worked my way up, assembling all the panels. It's important to follow the instructions when it comes to "raising the city" because of the way that all the sections interlock together. The Empire State side is harder than the World Trade side, so you may want to do World Trade first. Don't be discouraged! You'll be proud with all your hard work, I promise! It's great to display and will definitely be something to strike up a conversation about!

I got this puzzle for my boyfriend last Christmas and when we got back from college we started it! It took us one month in total to finish the puzzle. The puzzle is VERY CHALLENGING. We worked every night from 6pm-1am most nights. After hours of looking at teeny tiny windows and searching for that ONE PIECE amongst 3,000+, one might lost one's mind and get frustrated very quickly, BUT DO NOT GIVE UP. This puzzle is a amazing because when it's done, it's gorgeous and it paying a fitting tribute to the twin towers and NYC!

I'm 28 years old, and it was a fantastic expirience. A tip: If you never build a 3d puzzle before, first build 2 or 3 little 3d puzzles (300 - 700 pieces), and then, buy this one!
