🧩 About the Puzzles

Q: What makes Piececool puzzles different from other toys or puzzles?
A: Unlike ordinary toys, Piececool puzzles are designed to develop focus, patience, and problem-solving skills while creating a stunning display piece. Crafted from stainless steel, they’re durable, educational, and collectible — not disposable like most toys.

Q: Are these puzzles safe for children?
A: Yes — all pieces are made from safe, non-toxic stainless steel. However, due to the complexity and small parts, we recommend them for ages 14 and up. For younger kids, parents should supervise the build.

Q: How difficult are the puzzles?
A: Each puzzle has a difficulty rating from 1–7 stars. Beginners may enjoy simpler builds like smaller aircraft or insect brooches, while advanced builders can tackle challenging designs like the Lingxiao Palace or Nine Heaven Boat.

Q: Do I need tools to assemble the puzzles?
A: While some puzzles can be done by hand, we highly recommend using our precision pliers and clippers for a smoother experience, especially for advanced models. Tools are sold separately.

Q: Are instructions included?
A: Absolutely. Every kit comes with clear, step-by-step illustrated instructions to guide you through the build.
