Loved this one for the familiarization and awesome detail :-) Planning a trip summer ‘24.
The outer border was difficult. The inner area was also a challenge because you have to look up each piece to see where it fits in, there are no large areas to follow.
Fantastic puzzle company. Very receptive to customer satisfaction. This puzzle was difficult to see the fine print but a nice concept of history.
Interesting puzzle to put together but it's a bit too busy for my taste. The resolution of the picture is also not as good as it could be -- things aren't exactly fuzzy but they aren't exactly sharp. So aesthetically it isn't as nice as it could be. It turned out to be much easier to put together than we'd expected (which was okay, we weren't disappointed -- just a bit surprised). It was a good way to learn a bit of Irish geography and history.
Small pieces and small writing and pictures on them make it challenging, but I still enjoyed the puzzle and the differing Celtic designs as well as the bits of Irish history.
