This jigsaw is very bright and colurful with a great picture. It has 500 fairly small pieces and is a bit of a challenge. My 8 year old bought it ,but has had the whole family helping him with this. The shark and larger fish and sea portions have given some headaches, but in an addictive way. I think it was really too difficult for the 8 year old, but a good challenge for his older sisters. Comes in a good sturdy box and like all jigsaws is durable as a toy as long as you don't lose too many pieces.
