500-Piece Ocean Themed Jigsaw Puzzle for Adults - Large Size Educational Family Game, Intellectual Challenge Toy, Unique DIY Home Wall Art Decor | Perfect for Stress Relief, Family Bonding & Home Office Decoration

This puzzle was a challenge! It was difficult to put together and is why it gets 5 stars!!While the pieces were made well and puzzle dust was low, this puzzle had SEVEN missing pieces as well as one duplicate (corner) piece. I share this in hopes that the quality assurance feedback makes its way back to the manufacturers, as this would have been amazing if not for the missing and duplicate prices.While this puzzle offers more of a challenge than most others that is what I prefer occasionally. I have been an avid puzzler since I was a kid. After doing so many for so long I find that sometimes I like doing one that is more challenging than normal. This fit the bill admirably.This puzzle has the feature where the back side is printed with letters so that you can, if you wish, sort by sections before beginning. If you do that, it's more like doing 8 little 65 piece puzzles that happen to fit together - super easy! If you want this for a younger kid or someone with challenges who would like to do a bigger puzzle but needs a bit of an assist, then this is perfect. If you want a 500-piece puzzle that "feels" like a 500-piece puzzle, then DO NOT PRE-SORT the pieces when you start. I wish I hadn't done that....Beautiful puzzle. I usually purchase 1000+ pieces but loved this picture so much!Recommend♡Took us 2 hours to solve it. Very fun and easy puzzleMy daughter is a puzzle aficionado to the max, this one challenged her and kept her engaged! It is beautiful; highly recommend it for all the puzzle enthusiasts in your life. A great value for the money.I loved the picture of this puzzle what I didn’t love what is the difficulty in putting it together I almost quit several times so many of the pieces are similar in shape & color that you almost have to look at the letters on the back and even then it’s confusing there’s so it was not fun for meThe material used for the puzzle is dirty and the box is even sturdier the inserts to separate the pieces on the inside of the box is pointless . I’m going to try another one of the puzzles with a different design and hopefully have better experienceGreat brand. The pieces aren't quite as sturdy as other brands, but they fit well and stay together. The pieces are a variety of shapes, and it is clear if they fit or don't. This brand always includes a decent sized poster.
