New York Puzzle Company - New Yorker Summer Treat - 500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle for Adults by Mark Ulriksen

Mistakenly, I thought this 500-piece puzzle would be a breeze after completing 3 1000-piece New Yorker cover puzzles. The pieces are bigger, but it's not easier. I love these New Yorker puzzles. I've framed several, and I rotate them on the wall down my staircase. They are art--absolute art! The quality is good: pieces are solid. One warning: no two jigsaw puzzles are alike. My dog ate one piece, and I had two puzzles of the same design. I found the piece that should have fit, but it didn't! Researching this, I found that puzzle makers change the cuts very frequently, so no two puzzles are guaranteed to have the same cuts in the same area.

Love the size of this puzzle and the whimsical design! Pieces are a good size and fit well. Also, the right amount of challenge without frustration!

This puzzle had five corner pieces and others were bent despite it being in a sealed bag.
