I bought this for myself as an adult because I wanted to learn more about color. I found it challenging to put together, but very enjoyable. It is hard to imagine a child being able to do it. However, it is a creative and educational puzzle well worth getting if you are interested in the components and relationships of color. Almost mathematical in its precision, it is a wonderful display once complete. Snapping the cubes together was difficult until my teenage daughter and I finally got the hang of it, and threading the plastic rods through the cubes was also challenging. Still, I highly recommend it. If I were doing it again I would play around with the cubes/color relationships more before attaching them because I'm not taking it apart now that I have it together, although that is possible to do.

Pretty wicked cool

I found that this may have been pretty hard and complicated for a child under ten years old - but it was really cool. I made it and everything, and it looks awesome. I'm not planning on taking it apart and making more things just yet - but when I do, I will be sure to show it off! This toy was fantastic.

My 14 year old daughter and her 20 year old brother worked on it. Very challenging and fun. Definitely for ages 10 thru 110!

Unique item which my 5 and 3 year old children have shown interest in. I hope it will help their visual-spatial intellectual development. Aesthetically pleasing. Not difficult to put together.

The product is a bit difficult to put together, but once complete is very useful for demonstrating color theory in three dimensions.
Colorcube Teaches Color

This is a great product. First, it is a puzzle. You get a big box of parts you get to put together. This part is not good for those with color blindness. It is still possible to complete since each part has the the CMY (Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow) value of the color. Second, this item comes with a beautifully colored poster that teaches color theory or how colors are connected. Third, it just looks great as an abstract centerpiece.
Great, Once It Is Together

I purchased this for my son to learn about colors. It is a good representation of all sorts of different colors. Putting the cubes together was not so bad but getting the cubes lined up on the sticks to make the big cube, that was a bit time consuming. Once complete, it stays together well and looks very nice. The assembly is just for someone with patience. This would not stop me from buying this product again.
Brainiac Kids and Artistic Mom at Peace

Three brainiac boys + One artistic Mom + Colorcube = Finally, Something We All Love! As an artist, I am always trying to find ways to introduce the fundamentals of art to my left-brain kids. The minute I saw the graduated colors in all those beautiful organized rows and columns I was hooked and had to have it. When my 13 and 10 year old saw the box, they were running with it in a couple minutes. Fortunately, each cube is made up of a measured combination of yellow, cyan and magenta. All the color values of the three colors are written in small letters on the side of the cubes. Once you figure out the pattern of the values it is pretty easy to figure out how to finish the puzzle. After the boys put the puzzle together by the numbers and admired it for awhile I took it apart and they redid it by sight, trying their hardest not to look at the numbers. They didn't get it quite right but they learned a lot. Yesterday I came downstairs and saw my 6 year old putting it together in an unusual combination (to say the least). He looked at me and said, with defiance, "Mom, you always say that art is personal and this - pointing to the cubes - is my personal colors." So that is how it will stay for awhile. One word of caution. I would suggest an adult or older child put the cubes together. Although at first they look like you can just snap them together they only have one correct way of fitting and are a pain to take apart and refit. Also, a few of the colors are very hard to tell apart in low light. Check the numbers on the side to make sure they match. Great toy! Top of our Christmas gift giving list.

This product is very good for those who are interested in aspects of color in 3 dimensions. Deciphering the color transitions can pose a challenge, but once this is figured out it is easy to assemble. I would recommend it.
Color Cube Puzzle

More sculpture than puzzle. Assembly is fairly difficult and painstaking to disassemble (if you were crazy enough to do this twice). As a color professional (graphic designer) it is visually alluring enough to go through the effort (mine will now sit on my shelf as art/inspiration) but I would not recommend it to the even slightly color and coordinatedly challenged.
It certainly is pretty but, man, frustrating to construct. Putting colors in the right order was the easy part!
P.S. I got one extra green piece!
