Stained Glass Flower Garden - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle by GoodWay Puzzles

MANY PIECES NOT CUT ALL THE WAY THROUGH. SHAPES ARE ABSURD

This puzzle was missing a piece. Puzzle was very challenging because the puzzle was actually about .5 inch smaller than the box picture. The pieces were various shapes. If it had not been missing a piece, I would have rated it higher.

I really enjoyed this puzzle! I receive 2-4 new puzzles for Christmas, each year. But after completing 3 of them, each within 2 days (no more than 3-6 hours per day), I got bored/craved something more challenging. Searches for difficult/advanced puzzles led me to the Puzzle Warehouse website. This one (so far) fit the bill! Instead of days, I was done in 2 weeks (skipping a day or two). If it had taken longer, all the better! My suggestions for reviewers who found it frustrating: The key to any puzzle is, 1) sort by color (tedious, but worth the time). 2) with irregular shaped pieces like this one: focus on fitting individual pieces together, without dwelling on the unfinished edges or "that one elusive piece." Eventually entire pastel flowers are done, then darker colored flowers, then full sections, then the whole thing! 4) Always tackle the obvious (easy to identify) colors & patterns, first. This leaves fewer pieces when you get to the tough sections. I never give up on a puzzle. If you do the above, completion is always possible. Remember: Each attached piece is another step toward success! Keep going!

I work a lot of puzzles. This one was very challenging! My biggest complaint was not being able to complete the border first. That being said, I love a challenging puzzle and was able to finally complete!

Fast and easy

This is first puzzle I have not completed The randm nature of the puzzle makes it impssible for even a person wh does many puzzles a years to complete. I could only get half of the edge done and then began to put flowers together. With a cutoff box icture the only clue it was too difficult. Would not recomment. Very frustrating.

How very disappointing upon opening the box of this lovely artwork to find the quality to be extremely poor. Before even starting on the puzzle, many pieces have to be carefully pulled apart as they were not completely cut through. This tears the backing paper and weakens the connecting arms. Worst of all is that some pieces aren't cut through enough to even begin to try to separate them. Such poor quality.
