For those of you, like me, who have a hard time visualizing dimensions simply by numbers, I want to tell you that this item is only a bit bigger that an egg. However, it is beautiful!!! The delicacy of the carvings is wonderful. The small-ness makes for great decorating without over crowding as well as a conversation starter.

Bought as a present for my husband's grandfather...but my husband saw it first! Now, I'm shopping for granddad again! Love that it is handmade, carving is beautiful.It is a small piece, but if you read the description of the product, you'll know that in advance. The fact that it is small makes it more valuable as a craft---intricacy is difficult to attain with wood, and even moreso at a small scale.Will be ordering more, when available!

This puzzle is a fabulous conversation piece, decorative piece and entertainment all in one attractive little package. The price was excellent and I ended up purchasing three; one as a gift for someone who is difficult to buy for, one as a gift for a puzzle lover and one for myself. The puzzle itself is beautiful and makes a unique gift but that is made even better by the story behind it and the obvious craftsmanship. Any way that you can support a worthy cause makes you feel better about the gift you're giving and it also makes it a better gift to receive. I would highly recommend this to anyone and I will most likely purchase similar items in the future as gifts... and for myself!

I bought two of these as christmas gifts and of course played with each before giving them away. The quality between the two was vastly different. the one was beautiful and all the pieces fit perfectly, but the other was very loose (the pieces almost just fell apart when you were trying to take it apart or put it back together). The one that was good quality was a beautiful piece to have out, but the one with very loose pieces just looked funny sitting out on a table as it looked like it would fall apart if someone touched it. I ended up gifting the good quality one and kept the worse one for myself as i wouldnt have given it as a gift and am too lazy to return it.

Bought it for my boyfriend who loves to build things. He was afraid to take it apart coz he might not be able to put it together. He said it calms him when he looks at it. He loves it!!

I was concerned about quality after reading a few reviews. After receiving the item and taking it apart, I am comfortable giving it as a gift. The puzzle comes with a little paper handout that mentions the Cambodian Rehab group that made it. I think I will print out more on them and give with the gift.

I purchased this puzzle for my nephew, but I'm tempted to keep it for myself! Not only is it fun to play with, it's attractive enough to display as a conversation piece. The dimensions are true to those stated in the description.

It is a great gift I gave my husband and he loved it. He has not taken it apart, guess he is afraid of not getting it back together. Ha! So he just has it sitting on his desk. It looks good. And he gets comments about it every now and then.

Have not been able to put it back together. I am usually very good with puzzles but this one has stumped me. I am sure there is a way, I just need to concentrate. Would recommend it for puzzle lovers who love a challenge.

This item looks like a large egg, so don't expect it to be very big. The intricate carving detail is amazing though and it will be a good conversation piece to put in your office, or on a bookcase.

About the size of a pear, it's a fun little puzzle for adults. Too complicated for young children. Maybe good for older kids.

This caught my eye as I was doing some internet shopping. I have a colleague who loves puzzles and brain teasers AND is very much into fair trade efforts. How nice to be able to support artisans from the other side of the world and put a beautifully crafted item into the hands of someone who will love it. I can't wait to give it to her!

I didn't see the item in person. I sent them as a gift for 12 year old boys. One of the boys is artistic, and the other is an avid soccer player. I never give technology because they have everything. Their mothers said the boys loved playing with something other than the computer. They both said it was a beautiful object in itself. The artistic boy took it apart and put it back in minutes. The soccer boy had some trouble. I think it's a great gift...a different gift but beautiful or any age or gender.

Puzzle was well made and looks very nice on a coffee table, but if you are looking for something that will take you more then a couple of minutes then you might want to find something a little more complex. The exterior design is very well made with detailed carvings and the finish has a worn authentic feel.
