    Amazing Work
    By Anonymous
    I purchased 2 Puzzleboxes, because I always wanted to have one as a kid. They arrived in Germany quickly and they are amazing. They slide free and easy and if you don't know where to look you can't see the sliding parts. These boxes are like art. Beautiful woodwork.

    This is a beautiful box, cleverly constructed with nearly invisible lines. Arrived safely from Japan to California.
    I had intended to give this as a gift, but ended up keeping it myself. I would definitely recommend this to any one wanting something unique and special.
    And trying to open this up without looking at the instructions was fun and challenging.
