Enjoyed this puzzle. Solid pieces fit together good!

The pieces are big in this puzzle - box says 2 inches but that's from tab to tab - the main part is at least 1 inch possibly a bit bigger at least in one direction. Pieces are similar in shape - the main challenge for me with this one was the shading. also I've never done a puzzle of a person - it was kinda weird pulling out pieces of fingers LOL! also some colors look different than when glancing at the picture on the box- some shading makes pieces look orange-ish or yellow or greenish - lots of white that varies from grayisn to white white and LOTS of browns - I found myself doing the border then doing 'strips' of pieces that looked alike then figured out how they fit - some was luck! :-) the puzzle looks different up close when doing it -but standing back it really pops - I sometimes would scatter some 'white' pices near others in place then stand back to see if they belonged in that section. overall a fun puzle - very well made- no flimsy tabs - smooth almost glossy (but not too much glare) but still easy to pick up and handle. seemed to make a soft 'snap' as they went into the right place. some seem to fit but weren't quite right. sturdy pieces and if you're familiar with other large piece puzzles from ravensburger and buffalo games and ceaco - these pieces are larger. their appearance and feel is probably closer to Buffalo Games as far as the finish though mabye a bit firmer.

This puzzle is adorable. It's a present from my daughters to their grandma who turns 85 this month. We've given her similar puzzles and she loves them!
