Well made (compared to others). Good finish, instructions. Assembly was easy-took a senior 1 hour. I glued the dowels as they were small for the holes (should be snug) - 1 hole was oblong - used 1 of my own dowel to get around that. The $$$ is heavy for a jig saw puzzle that is not 100% perfect on hardware. Oh, the tiny screws for the little hinges are not particle board screws - I switched them out for a tad longer and particle board thread - glued them as well (no nails).
