Assembly Instructions (Setup)
Assembly of the CubicFun Chrysler Building 3D Puzzle is designed to be straightforward, requiring no special tools or adhesives. Follow these steps carefully:
- Step 1: Prepare the Pieces. Carefully detach all puzzle pieces from the foam sheets. It is recommended to organize them by number or shape as indicated in the instruction diagrams. Do not force pieces out; gently push them to avoid tearing.
- Step 2: Identify Connecting Slots. Each piece has designated slots and tabs. Refer to the included diagrams to understand how pieces interlock. The assembly process typically involves building the base first and then progressively adding layers upwards.
- Step 3: Interlock Pieces. Align the tabs of one piece with the corresponding slots of another. Gently push them together until they fit snugly. Ensure pieces are correctly oriented before applying pressure.
- Step 4: Follow Numbered Sequence. The puzzle pieces are often numbered to guide the assembly order. Follow the numerical sequence provided in the visual instructions to construct the model layer by layer.
- Step 5: Complete the Structure. Continue interlocking pieces, paying close attention to the architectural details and curves of the Chrysler Building. The spire and upper sections are typically the final components to be added.

Once assembled, your CubicFun Chrysler Building 3D Puzzle is ready for display. To ensure its longevity and appearance, follow these care guidelines:
