St. Patrick's Cathedral

Fun to build. The foam paper is easy to manipulate and build. Well worth the time and money, especially if you have visited the original.

I bought this for my son for a school project. It took us a couple of hours to assemble it, and we had a good time working on it together. He kept saying how cool it was and was excited to show it at school. It is made well and is pretty durable. If I was offering advice on improving it, I would say that I'd like to have a way included in the kit to make it permanently assembled...maybe glue or tape to attach to the tabs underneath once that section is assembled. This isn't really the kind of puzzle you'd want to take back apart and re-work because the paper/cardboard tabs could easily bend and/or break off when being disassembled and would then not be reusable. Also, the instructions are only pictures (no words), so it takes a minute to figure out the process. Once you have the hang of it, it's super easy and lots of fun. My advice: just leave all the pieces attached to the cards they come on to keep it organized. Each piece is labeled with a small letter that corresponds with the instruction booklet, so leaving the pieces attached to the sheets until you're ready to use them seems to make it easier than flipping through each piece every time you need one. There is also a high-quality, full color National Geographic magazine/book that comes with it. That came in super handy for when my son presented it in class, and was a great teaching & learning tool for us. This is a great price for this item. I highly recommend and would definitely purchase this again.

The item was purchased as a gift - so I am not sure of the quality - The box was smaller than I expected - so it might be pretty challenging to put together -

Beautiful, fun to assemble

Quality was decent and assembly was fun

About 5 years ago and prior I had ordered and assembled altogether about 8 of St. Patrick's Cathedral from both "Daron" and "Cubic Fun" on a number of different occasions and was quite pleased with them. I received this current one recently from Cubic Fun and found it very much inferior to the former editions. The boards are thinner and not as sturdy and the images start to peal away from the boards, especially at ends that are pointed. Even more frustrating was the fact that pieces weren't lining up properly. This occurred at the early stage of my assembly and I was so disappointed when I recalled how much well-made the former kits were that I wound up throwing the whole kit in the trash. Although the former kits required patience and dexterity, as well as perseverance, the fact that they were so much sturdier and well-made, with time and careful attention one could fully assemble a nice completed showpiece. I'm sorry to say that this current 3-D puzzle from Cubic Fun is plain junk. I checked online to see if Daron still issued their version, but sadly no Daron versions appear to be available any longer.

Fun for architecture majors

Instructions are not in correct order and confusing. Have to back-track several times. Example, following instruction in the order presented, after installing the roof, the roof must be removed to install something else. In future will not consider this brand.

Esta increíble 😍

Started putting this together, it's been fun! The double sided tape is a bit tough to get a handle on but it was a welcome challenge. Item was worth it.

I loved this product. I had a great time putting it together. I am definitely buying the larger set and many more sets of Cubicfun. I highly recommend it.

Preso per regalo ha sorpreso per il risultato finale, la facilità di montaggio e per la buona qualità dei materiali

Je suis très contente d'avoir acheté ce puzzle pour montrer ce qu'était le Colisée à mes élèves. Facile à monter, solide, je pense que je le garderai longtemps. Inutile cependant d'acheter avec le magazine qui n'apporte rien.
