Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

Wowsers, I can't believe how much this puzzle is selling for now. I got this as a present more than a decade ago when I was only ten years old, and it was probably $20-25 back then.
Anyway, I still have mine and it has been put together over and over throughout the years. The cardstock buttresses were the first pieces to go, but I don't consider them to be essential to the puzzle. They bend and wear out very quickly, but they were honestly more work than they were worth. When you try to insert the buttresses they tend to make the puzzle itself begin to collapse. Just ignore the flags and buttresses altogether.
The puzzle pieces, and I still have every one, have held up amazingly well. The glue is very strong. None of the paper has detached from the foam pieces. Oh, and the pieces are perfectly formed and fit snugly together. It takes just a few fun-filled hours to complete Notre Dame.
To make a long story short, I recommend the puzzle, just not the cardstock!

Review:
I bought this puzzle because my wife and I like doing puzzles. These types of 3D puzzles are alot of fun from the traditional puzzle types. They care challenging and once competed more fulfilling in my opionin as you see a physical shape. Thanks Amazon for the exceptional service!
My husband and I put this together last night. We enjoyed ourselves. We've done three 3D Puzzles so far and I'd say this was a lot easier and less time consuming compared to Neuschwanstein Castle, which has 3 times the pieces. My husband and I look forward to putting more of these together. I wouldn't rate this one "advanced" as the box states, because if you've put these together before you know some can takes hours and hours to complete. I'd recommend this puzzle to someone who has never put a 3D PUzz together before.
