Sealion Sophistication Premium 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle - Vibrant Neo-Expressionist Artwork - Eco-Friendly, Challenging Puzzles for Adults - Exclusive Deals on Puzzles by Cross & Glory

Very impressed with this puzzle from Cross & Glory. I'm a stickler for a good puzzle, and this one came through. Here are some qualities I've noted while putting this together:1. The pieces were a tiny bit thin, but durable enough...not flimsy at all, but not super thick either.2. The pieces fit well together--there were very few times where I felt like two pieces MIGHT have fit, but then didn't.3. When opening up the puzzle, only two pieces were together...the other 998 were nicely separated and shuffled.4. No pieces were missing! Also, there were no EXTRA pieces, as sometimes happens with new puzzles (how does that even happen?!).5. The puzzle was challenging, but not TOO challenging. There were enough patterns to follow so that each day I could tackle a section or two and not get tired of it.6. Once the basic patterns were completed, there was still about 20% of the puzzle to put together that was a little more difficult. That's okay...don't want to have it all too easy (or too much too hard and frustrating).7. The colors were vibrant, and the final puzzle perfectly reflected the picture of the puzzle on the box.One small issue: The insert with the final picture is helpful, but it was small. It was, however, more clear than the slightly larger picture on the box. So, between the two, they were very helpful, but it was hard to see the full detail, even with my glasses on. Not a deal killer though; just a bit harder to see the fine details of some of the puzzle's finer nuances of color.Overall, I was really impressed with this puzzle and enjoyed it immensely. Good to know there is a nice brand that I can rely on for future purchases. I also bought the octopus, which looks a bit more challenging, and I'll review that when I'm finished...looking forward to breaking it out! :)

I loved the colors and design, it went to getting well and is good quality! I have purchased another puzzle from this brand.

Good quality, and challenging. Price was right, and it was an enjoyable puzzle.

So many missing pieces and unable to return.

Fun and challenging
