Daron Brooklyn Bridge 3D Puzzle 64-Piece

I usually stick to the Cubicfun brand puzzles, but this one ended up being just as good. Same assembly style, cardboard cutouts that are slotted into each other. The long, thin parts (like a tower antenna) can be flimsy, but I've yet to break one in 7+ puzzles. I had to glue the base on, but I've had to do that with most of these regardless of the brand. It's designed pretty cleverly so nearly every piece "locks" another into place.Took a couple of hours to put together - taking my time. This one wasn't especially challenging but still fun and looks great! If you put it out for display, you'll want to find a way to hide the ends as the abrupt cut-off looks odd. I have other 3d buildings in front, on the sides, so it looks like it continues behind them. But anything will work.

I bought this hoping it would beI thought it would take a LOT less time to assemble than it actually did. This is a good thing since it was a nice time-killing project. It took me a little over 2hrs to assemble which is pretty cool. The instructions are VERY easy to follow. For the price, you can't beat it.

Puzzle was fun to put together. It wasn’t difficult and came out great.

I frequently have to work with my Son on School projects and found this to be a time saver and a nice display item. Love it!

I was so excited to buy this for my husband and son to do. I missed the recommended age of 12 and up, and my 4-year-old lost attention fast. But, I think this would be a fun project for kids 7 and up. Still giving this 4 stars, because it was my mistake on the age, but taking of a star for the ease of removing puzzle pieces. You have to pop all the pieces out and it's not easily to do by hand if you want them to remain in pristine condition. We used a tool to help, and the bridge ended up turning out great once assembled.

I bought this thinking my kids would work on it together, not really realizing... this is a one-person operation.The price is right -- tenbucks for a great toy bridge, which is decorative but not useful. It is made out of some paper-faced foam material, which seems to be this generation's balsa wood. Makes good models. Breaks apart easily.Anyway, my 2nd grader is my Puzzle Man, and he sort of took charge of the bridge when the whole "group project" concept went out the window. The pieces just sort of push out of the sheets -- it doesn't take much pressure. He used my staple-puller tool to snap out the notches and slots.  Swingline Premium Staple Remover, Silver (S7037141P) .Then, going step by step and aligning the pieces as shown in the schematic, the bridge is sort of "pressed" together. Go slow.To keep the base pieces separated while wrapping the brick detail, he used the same staple puller tool, inserted sideways. That left him a hand free to manipulate the tricky parts.Pretty cool work. Don't throw away the American flag pieces -- they go on top.

This is not a model. It is more of a puzzle. Use an Exacto knife to slice through some of the 'flashing'. It is paper and will not take kindly to being pulled at. Once you figure out how the tabs will fit and hold things together, its clear sailing. I found that it was better to pop out some of the pieces in the slots with the tab of the second piece. You should pop out those pieces in the hard to reach places.
