SUNSOUT INC - Stained Glass Lion - 1000 pc Jigsaw Puzzle by Artist: Cynthie Fisher - Finished Size 23" x 28" - MPN# 70720

The colors are vivid and look far better than the online pictures on Amazon and SunsOut's own website.The usual small problems were present - a bit too much "dust," a few pieces weren't cut all the way through, a few pieces arrived slightly bent, and the printing seems to be peeling off the tops of a few pieces.Having said all that, it's great value for the money. I especially like how the pieces aren't the standard rectangular pieces with "tabs"/"slots."

Since Covid restrictions, we have been doing puzzles a LOT. I wanted a stained glass looking one so I got this one. It is a good challenge for me and my family. Most puzzles, even 1000 piece ones we do in just a few days. This one is going to take us at least 2 weeks at the rate we are going. Which is fine, I like to have it to putz with. If you are looking for a thinking puzzle, the shapes of the pieces and colors of the tiles will give you a run for your money.

This puzzle was disappointing. Many pieces were not cut completely through, and could not be separated without significant tearing - I would have needed a craft knife to separate them. The pieces are mostly bizarre irregular shapes, either big serpent-like things or tiny ones with smooth edges on two sides that don't link to the pieces next to them. Where there are conventional tabs + holes, the tab often has no neck and doesn't stay in the hole. Sliding a section across the table, it falls apart in multiple places. The paperboard was dustier than most and made me sneeze. The art work (stained glass lion) is lovely, but I hated the puzzle by the time I had the edges together and decided to just throw it back in the box.

Most beautiful puzzle I ever done

This is a great puzzle! Challenging enough but totally do-able, and the colors are lovely.

So many of the pieces were torn, split, bent and uncut! I emailed the company about the poor quality and they responded that they would replace the puzzle once per customer. They sent me the same "batch" of the puzzle and surprise, it has the same problems. I will no longer be purchasing Sundout brand.As far as the finished puzzle goes, the pieces fit together very loosely. I imagine it would be hard to keep if someone wanted to frame or hang it. It is large and lovely. I did enjoy the challenge presented by the shapes of the pieces mixed with the aesthetic of the stained glass.I wish this puzzle had been produced by a better quality brand so I could order more from the stained glass collection.

I loved this particular puzzle a lot. It was very unique and I had to change my technique a bit.

Not easy!!!! But the result is worth the efforts! Gorgeous, simply gorgeous!
