CHH 6103 3 Inch Wooden Ball Shaped Brain Teaser 3D Puzzle, Light Beige

I remember being a kid and getting one of these when I was at Chinatown in San Francisco. It was so cool till one of my friends broke one of the pieces. This one is the same puzzle, but it's larger and sturdier. I think it's about 6 inches across and the pieces hold together tight enough. The one complaint I would have is that the pieces don't sit flush with each other. They should smooth these out after assembly.

Poorly made. Two pieces were glued together and needed to be pried apart using a knife. Overall, the wood is just not made with great precision and doesn't fit together smoothly. Some of the wood pieces have large cracks and others are glued together poorly. I would not recommend this puzzle from this company. I've seen other versions from other companies that look much better

It was too challenge for me to take it apart. Finally I took it apart. My husband was unable to put it back together.

Taking the sphere apart for the first time, I knew right away it was poorly made.- Visually, the pieces don't sit flush to form a smooth sphere.- The pieces don't slide well against each other because of rough faces.- 2 of my edges were unfinished/tattered enough that they were major splinter hazards and needed to be sanded down.- 1 piece popped right off that was supposed to permanently attached to another (I could tell, because of the gobs of glue on the sides).The puzzle is still functional enough to put back together with a little extra effort, but just not as enjoyable (for me).Only two stars because, at the VERY least, I would have hoped that I didn't have to glue pieces back together, and sand the thing before playing with it for the FIRST time.

Poor construction. Parts poorly glued together. Not all parts are smooth, some could use some sanding. While the goal is to solve the puzzle, the directions are great for when you are stuck. Rather I should say good directions are great, the instructions included are tiny, unreadable and of poor quality in general. Doubt they are sufficient even if they were readable.
