Ravensburger The Music Room Jigsaw Puzzle - 500 Intricately Cut Pieces | Handcrafted in Germany Technology | Ideal for Adults and Kids | FSC-Certified Materials

I assembled this puzzle yesterday in about 4.5 hours by myself. I enjoy puzzles and Ravensburger makes some of the best, in my opinion. Often, the larger pieces are easier to see, handle, and put together so I was a little unsure of how this one would be to work with. I like that it is a smaller finished puzzle as it takes less space for all the pieces and is more managable to work on, in that respect. The matte finish is also very much appreciated as it's easier on the eyes even with overhead lighting. The print is sharp and the pieces are all cut cleanly so they fit together as they should. I do prefer the pieces in standard, square shapes and layout versus some manufacturer's that are randomly cut into various shapes and sizes. The picture/print of this puzzle has a lot of smaller areas that are easily separated to make assembly easier, but still had pieces that were difficult to identify and place until the final 20 or so. I was actually unsure if I was short some pieces until the last 3 or 4. I guess that's what makes the finish fun, right? I recommend this puzzle for those that enjoy a little challenge and can manage the standard-sized ~1 inch pieces.

I love this puzzle. Very easy to do as it has so many different elements to it.

Was a gift. She loved it! Excellent quality puzzles. Fun to do and colorful!

Another gorgeous puzzle from Ravensburger. The design, colors, quality of pieces, the perfect way in which the pieces interlock etc., make Ravensburger the very best of all of the puzzles I have enjoyed. There are a number of other brands that are very good as well. The only thing that would make Ravensburger puzzles better is if the company would include a separate page with a picture of the puzzle rather than expect the client to use the top cover of the box. However, this is a small detail that does not take away from the enjoyment of the activity.

Good product
