Buffalo Games - Simple Succulent - James Mertke - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle for Adults - Challenging Puzzle for Game Nights - Vibrant Plant Artwork - Finished Size 26.75 x 19.75 - Made in the USA

Let me start by saying I haven’t completed a puzzle in about 20 years. I would consider myself a beginner in the world of complex puzzles. Don’t overestimate yourself with 1000 pieces like my husband and I did. He is not the kind of person that likes walking away from projects unfinished and is easily overstimulated. If you’re that kind of person as well, this might not be the puzzle to start off with. My husband did not end up finishing the puzzle with me😂 On to the review! Very pretty puzzle once complete. I worked on it about an hour a night (missing a couple of nights because life) over the course of 3 weeks, and definitely can say it was well worth it. I don’t like how therapy is structured, so this was a great way for me to self reflect while feeling like I was accomplishing something. Was super sad to see that I am missing a single piece, and Buffalo Games website seemed pretty inconvenienced about requesting a replacement piece. I’ll take the time to create a new one myself for sake of time, as we hope to do a glue up for display. Overall, very happy with this purchase!

Was hard but not too hard!

The friend I bought this for is a puzzle connoisseur. She even has a puzzle room. She said this was one of the most difficult puzzles she had ever worked, and she does 3000 piece puzzles. She enjoyed the subject matter immensely, and even brought i over to me to see in life size. It was beautiful!! more than i could have ever expected! kudos to the photographer.

This puzzle was incredibly beautiful. Look at the puzzle. Pieces were awesome. The color is vibrant. It wasn’t blurry as sometimes when you get a puzzle it was a little challenging, but I got it done, but my one problem is missing pieces so that

I really enjoyed doing this puzzle. Good quality pieces, colors were nice. Challenging, but not so much that you want to give up. Organizing the pieces by color helps if you put puzzles together by color and detail versus just looking at the shape of the pieces (which is what my brother would do).

Great puzzle. Very tough!

A friend got me started doing puzzles last year and I got hooked. Because of arthritis, she can only manage to do 300 pc puzzles. She passes them on to me if I’m interested in a particular picture, which I do after a difficult one of my own. Unless it’s a really complicated picture, I can usually complete in a couple hours. I quickly outgrew 300 pcs and now stick to 1,000, will try 2,000 soon. Buffalo Games’ puzzle quality is mostly very good. Every once in a while you may find a bent piece but that’s rare. And I’ve never had a missing piece (knock on wood). This particular puzzle is the hardest I’ve done so far. It took 13 days working 2 to 2.5 to 3.0 hours per day. When starting a puzzle, I first sort by color and border pieces into trays. I had to start this puzzle from the outside and work in by color. When only purple and green were left, I further arranged the pieces by shape. One tray each of 4, 3, 2 on opposite ends, 2 next to each other, 1 and zero knobs. That makes it much less frustrating searching for a particular shape. So, if it looks like you need a 2 knob side by side piece, you need only look at the tray with that shape OR it could also be the 3 knob tray. The colors are vibrant. And thankfully they are not blurry or dotted, which are extremely hard on my eyes. I avoid those and only buy pictures that appear clear. It was a little frustrating at first but overall enjoyable.

Cute

First time trying this brand of jigsaw but really like the texture as it snaps together really well. The chosen picture also has vibrant colours and the finished product was really satisfying. Looking for a frame next.

Overall the quality is very good, in terms of print, color and cut. Two things I didn't like unfortunately. The lid of the box came glued to the inner half, and although I was very careful I still tore the box a bit to get it open, which was absurdly difficult. They should have just used tape or something! Second thing: it's a very hard 1000 piece puzzle because the succulents are very large compared to the individual pieces, so there are few details on a piece, just color and random lines. But it will be beautiful when finished.

Boite non protégée par un film et point de colle pour fermer le couvercle - Donc Carton un peu abimé - Semble être un produit reconditionné - En espérant qu'il ne manque pas de pièce pour finir le puzzle... réponse dans quelques semaines...
