Bits and Pieces - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle - Pride of Africa, African Jungle Animals; Lions, Giraffes, Elephants and Zebras - by Artist Ruane Manning - 1000 pc Jigsaw

It is a very interesting puzzle. Not very much difference in colors, which makes it more difficult. What I found out is most difficult is that all the pieces are of different shapes. Non are alike. They seem almost alike, but are not. The way that each piece is cut makes it difficult to put together, because it is difficult to imagine they go there. The quality of the puzzle is excellent! All the pieces that go where they should go, fit perfectly.

Wow, what a fabulous. It is challenging, the picture is beautiful, the colors are clear and accurate, the pieces are thick, it is very sturdy, and the quality is great for framing. I love this puzzle, it is one of my favorites, and I would give it as a gift.

This was a very challenging puzzle with weird shaped pieces and similar colors throughout! Took me about 2 weeks to complete the puzzle would work a couple hours on it a day and did it alone. There were no missing pieces and its a beautiful picture. Hanging it up in my living room!

This puzzle appeared quite simple. I bought this for my mom who enjoys working on puzzles to give as gifts. This puzzle was quite challenging but very rewarding to watch as it unfolds. I purchased a gold and black frame and it looks like a million bucks. The animals pop, giving it a high quality look. For the person who gave up, sort out the colors and eventually, it falls into place. Again, this is coming from a person who observed her mom. 😊

Okay, short words first: Are you kidding???This could be the toughest puzzle I have ever worked in my jigsawing career. Crazy! Near the end, I was certain I was missing pieces. Nope, all there.First, the good stuff and then some criticisms.Good: - All the pieces fit together in weird ways. Nothing was an even fit. This amped up the difficulty meter significantly. - The puzzle itself is striking. It will get the framing treatment, now that it's done. - Despite convincing me otherwise many times, all the pieces were there. They fit so weird I was certain at many points in assembling that pieces were missing. Talk about suspense! - Toughest puzzle I've ever done. I need a nice softie for my next work. Whew.Not so good: - This puzzle used the evil "flattish" pieces cuts. That's when pieces inside the game have nearly flat edges. I think this is a terrible cheat, like when a crossword puzzle has more than one letter in a box. It purposely makes building the border many times harder. I feel the border should always be the "gimme" to the puzzle builder. - Because of the weird fit, some pieces would get attached to wrong pieces. Sometimes, separating caused damage to the pieces. Pieces should be more durable. - Also because of the weird fit, there were more than a few times I had to pummel a piece flush with the rest of the puzzle. - Puzzle dust. WAY too much. Meh. And the puzzle box was slightly imperfect. Before I noticed it, puzzle dust was sprinkling all over my table (and floor).Overall, I liked this puzzle. A lot. But, those annoyances prevent it from getting 5 stars. For anyone looking to kill themselves over a master-class tough puzzle, here it is!

Absolutely love this puzzle. Would have giving it 5 stars but 3 pieces were missing. Really wanted to buy a frame for it to hang in my dining room. Would have returned it but I didn't get a chance to put it together until after the return date so I guess I just chalk it up to a loss. Was a pretty challenging puzzle. Pieces locked together really tight. I'm sure it was just a rare occurrence. Have been doing puzzles for at least 30 years and this is the first time I've ever been short pieces so I won't hold it against the company that made it. Will probably give them another chance with another puzzle.

Beautiful picture, but I only had a week to work on it off and on. It proved to be more than I could handle. I gave it to a friend who (hopefully) has more time to dedicate than I.This isn't an easy puzzle due to the coloring and cut of the pieces. If you're up for a challenge, this one shouldn't disappoint.

WOW! This was a challenging puzzle. The pieces are irregular shapes and the colors make it quite difficult. I loved doing this puzzle, and the picture is beautiful. If you like a challenge with a worth-while ending this is the one!

Just completed, great satisfaction as it was very complicated and took a lot of concentration to identify the various pieces as they are of varied shape, many three sided and not the normal rectangle.I can understand the other reviews, but I give this five stars - yes it took some time but the finished picture is tremendous, good for wall hanging. The quality of the pieces I found to be very good, and locked into place easily, and great value for money when comparing to others.I recommend attempting this, a great test, but so much satisfaction having completed.

Gute Qualität

This was a great puzzle. My wife had just returned from Africa, and so it made a great Christmas gift. Sadly the puzzle we received had one piece missing, right in the middle of the giraffe’s face.

Loved the picture

Wir haben uns riesig auf das Puzzle gefreut. Um es direkt einzurahmen und aufzuhängen, haben wir direkt einen passenden Rahmen mitbestellt. Leider stimmen die Maße des Puzzles in der Beschreibung nicht, sondern es hat eine Größe von 75 x 50 cm. Daher haben wir nun ein Puzzle ohne Rahmen und einen Rahmen, für den wir keine Verwendung mehr haben. Verkäufer ist kontaktiert, nun warten wir ab, was vorgeschlagen wird.Zum Puzzle selbst:Aufgrund der Tatsache, dass die Rückseite mit Buchstaben von A - H gekennzeichnet sind, ist das Puzzeln leicht und man kann quasi 8 Puzzle mit je 125 Teilen machen. Dies vereinfacht es enorm. Leider sind die Teile nicht so passgenau wie bei bekannten Puzzlemarken, aber dieses Risiko sind wir bewusst eingegangen. Das Puzzle sieht fertig gestellt toll aus, die Farben sind wie auf dem Produktbild.
