I was so excited for Christmas because we have a reproduction of this tapestry, that we bought in Paris, hanging in our entrance way. Worst puzzle ever! Super complicated because part of the picture reference is cut off! Pieces are very strange shapes. I gave up and my husband finished it. Had and extra piece!!! How does that happen?
This is a very difficult puzzle. If you are expecting a balsawood puzzle with zones printed on the back of the pieces and a puzzle size poster, this isn't it but this one is easier than the Monet Bridge and Water Lilies one. If you wear glasses, you are going to want to get an illuminated magnifying glass.
It is nice the shop sells 1000 piece puzzles of Masterpiece paintings but these are a bit to hard to be enjoyable for all but the most serious of Puzzlers.
This is a very nice quality puzzle, with sturdy pieces that interlock well, a cut style that differs from a strict "grid" cut, and a good print reproduction. I am a very skilled puzzler and this took me nearly 11 hours to assemble, without any reference to a guide picture, which is among the hardest puzzles I've done of this size. If you're up to the challenge, the result with be well worth it!
We finished this sumptuous puzzle today; it is a beast, but well worth the effort. I say finished, but frustratingly three pieces are missing, which I fear have been squirrelled away by one of the otherwise beloved felines here. I have just turned the living room upside down, emptied out the vacuum cleaner and am waiting for a reply from the cats. Would anyone who has given up on the puzzle be willing to donate these three pieces? We would be ginormously grateful!
Loved this puzzle! As some reviewers note, it’s certainly a challenge. I took my husband and I longer than our recent puzzles but we savored the challenge.
Before this purchase, I saw that there was a review that said this puzzle was "Comically impossible". Challenge Accepted. To be honest, this was easier than doing The Flatiron Building, by Samuel Halpert puzzle. Loved doing both!
My husband and I wound up putting this away after five hours of trying to find the edges and then sort the flowers into color categories. Eventually we started hysterically laughing because it felt like a sanity test. The pieces are very small and the subject matter is nearly indecipherable. The shapes of the puzzle pieces themselves are a little avant-garde and fit together in non-obvious ways. The printing runs down the seams of the pieces themselves too so a small but meaningful fraction drips like frosting into the cracks between the pieces making it hard to know if it truly fits. The reference photo is only to scale on the back of the box, and it’s very small. The much larger print on the front was aligned for aesthetic purposes in the context of the box itself but is not the full painting (or puzzle) so therefore unusable. If you’re a very very skilled puzzler, this might be very fun for you. But I only do 2 a year and this was impossible to the point of hilarity.
