Some only horizontally, others only vertically, guided by grooves in the front and back side of the puzzle. Your objective is to figure out how to open the lock! A perplexing and unique puzzle idea!

The puzzle is nicely crafted and has beautiful colors.
However, and this is the reason for the 2/5 rating, it is easy. Very easy. Much too simple to deserve the 9/10 difficulty rating it currently has. I am not a puzzle expert and the puzzle took me around 6 minutes. I think it deserves a 6/10 difficulty rating.
If it had been sold with a 6/10 difficulty rating, I would have given it 4 stars (1 star deducted because it would have been expensive for a 6/10 puzzle).
