Gustav Klimt The Kiss 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle by Eurographics & The Garden of Earthly Delights by Heironymus Bosch (1000 Piece) Puzzle

I don't write many reviews...but I saw the reviews written by other people for this puzzle and wonder if too many of them were written by competitors wanting you to buy their puzzles or people who don't realize that not all puzzles should be easy.I loved this puzzle. And I loved the art behind it. And I loved that the pieces were sometimes of nontraditional shape.Because of the themes throughout Klimt's painting, sometimes you have to really study the picture to see where a piece might fit. And that helps you to appreciate the themes in the woman's clothing or the themes in the background, to appreciate the art more.The pieces not being all neatly shaped rectangles, sometimes you have to twist your mind a bit to see how/where a piece might fit. Good mental exercise, even better if you want a moment to relax. We had to "undo" a couple pieces, and when we looked closely, we could see those pieces didn't quite fit. The intended pieces actually fit quite well.It's not a fast puzzle and can be a bit intimidating at first but is very rewarding and beautiful when completed. And it gets easier as you work with it and understand the painting better.

This is an absolutely beautiful puzzle! The colors are fantastic and it was fun to do! Eurographics makes some of the nicest puzzles.

This puzzle is beautiful and a challenge. I am not sure how giftable it would be to many people, unless the gift was to an art lover. I taught art history for many years, and I love it. That said, I have been working on it for a while - several hours a week - and find it challenging indeed.

Great challenge as many of the sections have similar colors and patterns. This will take you a little longer than many other 1,000 piece puzzles I've tried. Pieces come secure in an interior sealed plastic bag. The box is a little bigger than necessary considering how much empty space is in there, but otherwise a great choice.

It is beautiful and definitely challenging but such a joy to see it complete. We are missing a couple of pieces but hard to tell if they were missing in the package or whether we lost them.

My friend just loves Gustav Klimt art and also loves puzzles - this was a no brainer! Arrived quickly & in great packaging. The puzzle is awesome and she's already almost done with it!

Another great puzzle from Eurographics. Good quality print. Well-cut pieces with a large variety of sizes and shapes. This one is a challenging but interesting puzzle with large areas of similarly-colored pieces.

I really enjoyed putting this puzzle together. The pieces are quite sturdy.

It took me 5 days to complete this 1000 piece jigsaw, and thankfully there were no missing pieces. The image on the box doesn’t quite do the finished jigsaw justice. On completion, there is a lot of vibrant colour and small details that you don’t notice on the box image. The most difficult part was the dark brown section on the righthand side. There are some very oddly shaped pieces, some of the colours and shapes of the pieces fit well together, but only when you progress further do you realise that you’ve gone wrong somewhere and have to recheck the placement of the jigsaw pieces. Surprisingly the large blanket section was straightforward, as were the flower sections and the couple themselves. On completion, you are left with a great image of Klimt’s “The Kiss” and an equally great sense of achievement.Approx. dimensions when complete: Length 49cm, Height 68cm

The pieces are quite small, but in terms of build and quality this jigsaw puzzle is very, very good. My wife built it slowly over about a week of evenings. She became quite obsessed about it en really enjoyed sitting down and de-stressing by focusing on the puzzle. Now that it's finished we have it framed and on display upstairs. The actual puzzle dimensions are 48.9cm x 67.6cm (19 3/4 x 26 5/8 inches) which is worth mentioning because it's often difficult to find the proper size of the puzzle. Overall, it's a great puzzle. Great quality and looks brilliant framed and up on the wall. The colours are very vibrant as well.

The piece shapes of this puzzle are quite unconventional, and that combined with the abstract nature of the work make this quite a challenge. What a disappointment then to find that there are pieces missing. Quality control at the manufacturer clearly not what it should be, hence one star.

The jigsaw is so beautiful I'm actually thinking of framing it.This took me about a week to complete. I'm not an avid jigsaw puzzler but do enjoy the challenge and this jigsaw was a challenge, with little variation in shape making it harder. The shape of the pieces and the consistent pattern is less distracting when looking at the finished puzzle.Would recommend this brand.

It arrived before the predicted date, and the puzzle is just perfect. I particularly love this painting and being able to do a puzzle with it is wonderful. Totally recommend tit!
