An excellent puzzle for "Level 2". While it's not the easiest puzzle out there, it's by no means difficult.This is a good stepping stone for someone who has just starting these types of puzzles.For someone who has been puzzle solving for a while, this would be too easy.

I love the Hanayama "cast" puzzles series, which consist mostly of entanglement puzzles, and assembly/disassembly puzzled. The Cast Box is one of the latter.All the puzzles in this series are solid cast metal, with a nice heft and a good "feel" to them. Amazon unaccountably asked me to rate "sturdiness" and "durability" separately; to me they are the same thing. Regardless, this is a nice, sturdy (or durable) puzzle. Hanayama puzzles are rated in difficulty on a scale from 1-to-6, and mostly their ratings are pretty reasonable, though once in a while I find them a bit questionable. the Cast Box is rated "Level 2", but I found it rather easy to solve and reassemble, and would probably have rated it "Level 1". A reasonably bright 10-year old will be able to solve it in 15 minutes or less.One thing to watch out for: the price on these Hanayama puzzles seems to be all over the map; don't know why. I've seen this one sold for anywhere from $3.85 to $32.00. Average price seems to be around $9 - $12, and I wouldn't pay more than that for it. With that caveat, recommended.

I really enjoy playing with these puzzles by this creator. This one is a level two, so very easy (took me 15mins). But I have been doing they for years now.If you’re getting into puzzles, I would highly suggest doing this one. It’s Hefty, durable and well worth the price. Also a really cool looking knickknack. ✌ðŸ»~Mike

Love these puzzles. They have enough challenge yet can be solved. Sturdy and well made. Keep buying them. Even once you've solved the puzzle they still are fun to pick up and tackle.

I got these for my sons who’s 18 on Christmas and he loved it. He likes puzzles but not board style puzzles so this is right up his alley.

Solid and Nice quality but once solved it is easy to repeat. Not a real continuous time consumer.

Empece con un puzzle hanayama nivel 1 y fui comprando más hasta que llegue a este, y dejen les digo que esta excelente, tan solo la calidad del producto como todos los de la marca, super resistentes puzzles para toda la vida, elaborados a detalle y con un nivel de solución que te hace pasar un rato bastante retador. El nivel no es tan elevado y con paciencia lo puedes resolver en unos minutos. Una vez que lo resuelves analizando el patrón vas a sentir esa satisfacción de paz interior tan esperada por los que somos amantes de los rompecabezas 3D, lo recomiendo!
