Elephant odd shape wooden jigsaw puzzle

Got this for a friend who loves elephants. The box arrived so that I could open it and check out the pieces... so I put the puzzle together first.... you know, to make sure all the pieces where there. ;) I too love putting puzzles together while I watch TV. This was a fun build. I like the wooden pieces and how they are cut in non-traditional shapes. The quality was good and the pieces slide into place with a tactile satisfaction. My only suggestion that some of the pieces be ‘Easter eggs” by being identifiable shapes that other wooden puzzles do. No biggie nor deal breaker tho. I ended up buying the owl by the same company to give to another friend.... and have “checked” it for missing pieces too. ;) Yup, they are all there. The price is excellent for these types of wooden puzzels. I just wish they came up with more designs... as I have more friends. So far I have only found the owl and elephant. To be fair, I have not searched further than Amazon tho.

We had a great time putting this puzzle together! Don't let the size fool you. The intricate colors and unique shapes gave it enough of a challenge to keep us engaged. Finished product is beautiful. The only downside was there are some dark areas ( looks a little burnt) on the lighter color pieces that look like it came from the cutting process.

Good quality and great fun for a rainy day for adults, and anytime for older children. I have many and will keep buying these.

Another gorgeous puzzle by Hartmaze Crafts. This is a 171 pc puzzle with thick wooden pieces. The pieces are not quite as thick as another wooden piece maker Wentworth out of the UK, however the price is considerably less. I noticed a price jump between their first puzzle released and this one. That is understandable however if they plan to go higher, they will have to fix the one defect in their puzzle and that is visible burnmarks on the front and back of some pieces from the cuts. They will not be able to compete with the incredibly high standard of workmanship that you see in a Wentworth puzzle. I have been willing to live with a few obvious burnmarks at the price now but I for one will not go higher than $20 if the burn marks continue to mar the puzzle. I commend them for their great choices thus far and hope to see more puzzles from them in the future. Puzzle is of moderate complexity and this one was more challenging than their previously released owl puzzle.

This was such an amazing puzzle. Challenging yet doable and so beautiful. Also, it was the prefect size and didn’t take up too much space. I can’t wait to share with friends. Great gift and great price. Very bright colors and durable wood pieces. I wish they made more designs than the two I saw on amazon..

This was such a fun and surprisingly engaging and challenging puzzle... even with it's size. A nice change of puzzle pace from the same boring shapes of "normal" puzzles. Love puzzles or know someone who does? You gotta get this one? Yes there are minor discoloration on some white areas due to the lazer cuts smoke... but honestly... anyone complaining about it is just being a Karen.

The puzzle is small, but it's 100% uniquely shaped pieces. It is a lot of fun and much more affordable than most whimsy wooden puzzles. My only complaint is there was some discoloration where the laser cutter had gotten a little too hot, but it didn't take away from the enjoyment of this puzzle. I hope the company makes more like this. I've already bought one of their other ones and enjoyed it too.

I noticed a lot of people commenting about the burn marks and was hesitant to order, but I wanted to try a wooden puzzle. I can't see spending an exorbitant amount of money on a puzzle so I decided to give this a try. All-in-all, it's a nice puzzle and my overall experience has been positive. The box it comes in is a nice sturdy box and was sealed with two of those clear, plastic stickers. The pieces are in a zipper style plastic bag inside and there is a picture & diagram of what the finished product should look like. It's a very small picture (smaller than a computer mouse) and the diagram on the back is helpful so you can identify the pieces by shape.

5mm程度の十分な厚さがある木製パズルで、エスニックでカラフルな柄と他ではなかなかみられないピースの独特のカットの形で、大人の自分でも終始楽しめました。 171ピース(説明書より)で、見本の図柄が小さくて見づらいものの、特に不都合はありませんでした。 出来上がりの形もいいし、こういうパズルをもっと増やして欲しいです。 牙の部分はうまく真っ白に色付けはされていませんが、これは木部に白ペイントするとよく起こる現象で、白インキの成分によって溶けだした木自身の茶色成分が混じり合った結果だと思います。 真っ白にするには乾燥させてから何度も上塗りする必要があるので、そうなると価格もこれでは収まらないのではないでしょうか。 なので外部的な汚れではなく、むしろ木製の風合いを表現している色で、私は好感が持てます。 また、私の場合はピースの欠けや割れはありませんでした。

This is not a regular jigsaw - it’s very challenging. The picture that comes with it doesn’t help because the colours are not the same as on the puzzle pieces. Excellent feeling to finish it though.

Excellent product

入院している。父へプレゼントしました。 2ピース無くしてしまった様ですが、木でできていて、厚みがあり、何度も作る事が出来るので、時間をかけて楽しんでます。

子ども達と楽しくパズルしました。なかなか難しかったですけど、面白かったです。
