Queenie® Beautiful 1000 Pieces of 30 x 20 '' Wooden Puzzle Santorini Greek Island sea View Puzzle Jigsaw Set

We loved this puzzle! Comes with a actual size photo to set on table to start assembling puzzle! There were 8 quadrants A, B, C, D first line then E, F, G, H second line. So many alike colors but you can double check by letter on back. Was NICE!

I was excited about this wood puzzle until i opened it and tried to put it together. The wood pieces all looked as if they had been cut with a dull saw. Most of the pieces did not fit together well at all and 2 of the pieces arrived with parts broken off so the puzzle was not even able to be completed. I was hoping to glue and frame this puzzle since it was a picture of a place i have been, but i wont be able to do that with this puzzle. I do not advise spending money on this product.

Majority of the pieces were the same shape, exact cut. Put the puzzle together upside down going by the alphabet on the back. And thankfully, we have a glass table to see both sides.

Just as described

Santorini, Greece? Yes, please! This puzzle? Nope. This is the only puzzle I stopped working before completion.I should’ve read the reviews because they are all correct. The main issue is that there is very little variation in shape of the pieces, which becomes critical when working difficult areas such as the blue sky and ocean. So many of the pieces appeared to fit perfectly, but did not, and you wouldn’t know until you had 1-2 pieces left per area/section that didn’t fit. That’s when you knew there was a problem somewhere.There are 2 useful “cheats”, but to me they defeated the purpose of doing a puzzle: 1) the puzzle comes with an “actual size” poster which you can lay on the table and then build the puzzle on top of it, and 2) per the photos in the listing, the back of the puzzle contains an alpha grid which you can use to double-check that two pieces actually fit together. For me, that took the joy out of it so I did not use #1 and only used #2 to problem solve.After putting the entire puzzle together except for two large holes for the sky and waveless sea, it became obvious the only way to complete those sections would be to put the puzzle together upside down. What’s the point? I was no longer enjoying it, so I stopped.There are far less expensive puzzles that are actually fun, so I’ve opted to move on.

This puzzle is the worst! It’s flaking apart, it has a tiny photo and A huge folded (poor quality) poster. Some pieces were bent and some had rips into the image side of the piece. This is no where close to being worth $20. Pieces are very similar shape and you have to force even the correct pieces together.

Too many pieces are the same shape (low variations)

Worst puzzle I have ever done. They pieces don't fit together well and the pieces that do fit don't go together and the only way to figure that out is to look at the back of the puzzles pieces. On the back of the puzzle is a alphabetical grid. it was easier to do the puzzle upside down instead of right side up enjoying the picture for which the puzzle was intended.
