I can appreciate all of the other 5-star reviews. They're what led me to buy this in the first place. The puzzle was enjoyable enough and an easy rating is appropriate. The reason I'm only giving 4 stars is that the pieces still feel [ever so] slightly loose once completed. It's not bad, but perhaps the best way I can think to describe it is that when holding the completed puzzle in my hand, a gentle shake still yields a distinct metal-on-metal rattle. I think it's the nature of the shape of the design and I don't believe mine is defective. (I've tried tossing the completed puzzle up and down a few times and it does not come apart by itself; it just rattles a little.) Additionally the puzzle definitely looks gold and silver. It's nice, but from the photos online and on the box, I was expecting/hoping for gold and purple. Is the puzzle worth buying for the price? I think it is and I'm not dissatisfied. Is it perfect? Not quite; it's a puzzle for under $20 though and was enjoyable.

An incredibly satisfying solution. Even after you solve it, it will sit on your desk as a fidget toy. Also incredibly beautiful. It could easily be an anniversary or Valentine's gift for the right person.

My wife and I were pretty stumped for a day or two, thinking we had tried everything. The solution is very nice. Can’t wait to let friends try this one.

This arrived with the pieces separated, which is necessary for it to be a puzzle. If the pieces came assembled, it would be too easy traverse the disassembly moves. I really like how smoothly the pieces move together, and once I had it together, it was one that I took apart and put together multiple times, just because of the smooth way they fit. I also like the heaviness of this puzzle. It makes a great desk weight, and something to offer others when they visit. Very satisfying puzzle from Hanayama.

I have 20+ Hanayama puzzles, and this one in particular is a must buy in my opinion. It looks and feels great. While it's on the easier side (the rating is accurate), the solution is very satisfying and elegant.

Wonderful puzzle. Really love the quality feel and just the shapes look so hard to get right. Really happy and wanted to send some to my aunt but they are out of stock! More please!

This is the cutest puzzle I own. I didn't think I'd be recommending a puzzle specifically for Valentine's Day or an anniversary, stocking stuffer or birthday for a significant other, but this is it. I think the challenge rating on this from Puzzle Master and Hanayama in the "easy" category is appropriate. It took me about 15 minutes of fidgeting to solve the puzzle. And after putting it away for a month, I forgot exactly how to solve it and it took me another few minutes to remember. When you know how to solve it, the two identical pieces really slide together like butter in a very smooth and satisfying motion. The build quality is very good, with a pleasing mirror finish and a nice hefty weight for the size. This is a well made little puzzle guaranteed to put a smile on your or your partner's face, and a good introduction to beginner puzzlers curious to try out Hanayama's puzzles.

A really nice-looking, simple puzzle which also has some weight to it and could be used as a paperweight. It's fun to give it to friends and family and see if they can figure out the move which you need to do to solve it.

Another nice product from Hanayama. I'd say it was reasonably challenging for its price, size, and only being two pieces. Certainly solvable but a lot of fun to fidget with for awhile. The polished cast metal has a satisfying weight and hand feel. My only complaint is that mine had a couple small blemishes in the finish where it looks like the plating process wasn't totally successful.

I was afraid this wouldn't be enough of a challenge, but I was so wrong! The heart came already broken, and I almost convinced myself that it was impossible, when it finally came together. The solution makes perfect sense, given the name of the puzzle.

Love the puzzle! I like how it came in disassembled! Took a while (more like 30 min embarrassing lol) of fiddling around to actually solve it so its a really nice puzzle. The weight of the metal and the quality of it is so nice. Feels good in the hand. Puzzle is relatively small, fits in the palm of my (small) hand but has heft to it. Also shipping wise it came in relatively quickly, took about 2 weeks to come in. Would definitely recommend buying!

Wow! What a sweet puzzle! I love that it comes unsolved so you can’t figure out the solution right away! The solution is so satisfying, like butter when it slides together! I actually spent more time than I thought I would but I can see how some might get it quicker as well! Worth every dollar! Hanyama never fails to impress!
