Loved it! Great quality image & sturdy pieces that fit together nicely. I loved the bright colors & Ill definitely be trying more from this brand again!

Ive been on a puzzle spree. In my childhood, I had a cork-backed puzzle that had the most satisfying fitting pieces. For some reason, no modern companies seem to do cork backs, so Ive been buying one puzzle from every major brand to see how the modern cardboard puzzles hold up. Clementoni - thick pieces but quite a few had peeling backs or split edges. A lot of stuck together pieces, like the die was dull. Fairly crumbly/loose-fitting--cannot pick up sections and move them easily. Ravensburger - thick pieces, good quality. VERY crumbly/loose-fitting--cannot pick up sections and move them at all. Masterpieces - almost too tight of fit, not easy to disassemble Buffalo - too shiny, much glare. Good fit, but quite a few split edges/peeling. Cobble Hill - I dont remember specifics, to be honest, but I do remember enjoying it. And finally, this Elena Essex puzzle. The pieces arent super think like Ravensburger or Clementoni, but they are thick enough. They have a nice matte finish so glare wont get in your way. The cut was perfect. I didnt have any pieces not fully cut. The fit was also perfect. Which is to say, just tight enough to transfer groups of assembled pieces, but just loose enough to make taking it apart pretty easy. So functionality-wise, this is the best puzzle so far. And I love super bright puzzles, so the image was perfect. The color gradient with the black background is just stunning. I will definitely be looking for Elena Essex puzzles again.

I bought this puzzle after seeing it on another puzzler’s Instagram. I loved the colors and design. And I was not disappointed. This puzzle, Night Reef, is just as gorgeous as it looks in the photos. The whimsical design with beautiful colors and great quality have made this one of my go-to puzzle brands.

The material is good and won’t disappoint you.

I purchased another puzzle from this same artist & manufacturer and reviewed it with 5 stars. So ditto to that review for this one.

This is seriously one of the most fun puzzles I have ever done. I am framing it to put up in my sons room!

Beautifully designed both in quality and graphics, a wonderful puzzle experience all the way from the box to placing the final piece. A fairly easy 1000 pc puzzle but still challenging at times for the more avid puzzlers. You can tell a lot of care has gone into these puzzles, plus the customer service is fantastic!

Many of the pieces are bent, cracked, or are wrinkled. Was planning on saving it to hang up but the white from the defects are just so noticeable since the main background is black. Beautiful art low quality puzzle for the defects and missinf pieces as well. Edit: The customer service is phenomenal, they immediately reached out to resolve things. The puzzle we recieved had defects, but hoping for the next one to be good. Amazing customer service, beautiful art.

My most favorite puzzle maker. This one was pretty easy to or together, but very beautiful and relaxing.

Comes with a poster. All puzzle pieces present. This was a fun puzzle to put together because of the discover of details during assembly, and the image was beautiful. The puzzle colors weren’t as intense as the colors in the poster, and there was quite a bit of light glare on the puzzle, which made it seem hazy when I tried to photograph it. The color gradation helped sort the pieces. It was the right level of difficulty for me. Like Goldilocks, I want a puzzle that is not too hard and not too easy, and this one was just right.
