PETER PAUPER PRESS, Inc. Ocean Life 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

My partner and I have great memories together of solving this. We had the most fun as there's a lot of interesting details and creatures. It's high quality as well, and we liked it so much we hung it up in our apartment.

This stunning illustration makes for a great puzzling experience. The pieces are sturdy, thick and clean cut and every piece fits uniquely so you can be sure you have a match. There were no pieces peeling off or bent like in many other brands. The puzzle comes with a full size poster of the image, which definitely doesn't happen in most other brands. Highly recommended!

Well made, fun to assemble, more complicated than I expected given the variety of colors and patterns so I would say about a 2/4 in difficulty. Fun, challenging but not difficult, good fit. (My scale for reference: 0/4- small children’s puzzles up to about 24 pieces, 1/4- puzzles up to about 500 or those that are obviously simple to assemble, 2/4- 500-2500 with slight difficulty and varying patterns/colors, 3/4- 1000+ with more complex patterns and lots of similar pieces, 4/4- 1500+ with large blocks of solid color, 5/4- 2500+ one color, no patterns, with little distinct shapes of the pieces)

While the quality of the thick linen pieces is good the finish is not matte so the glare is high. The pieces do not hold together so if you put sections together on sorting trays it is difficult to move them to your main puzzle board. Full size poster is great. This is challenging as the colors are in muted tones with similarities across elements in both hue and pattern.

Really interesting and challenging. Beautiful and unique artwork. Puzzle finish, piece fit, and finish was exceptional. I definitely recommend. It’s challenging, for sure, but great fun and beautiful end result.

it's really pretty, i did it and put it on my wall. I like that the pieces aren't really shiny like other ones i've done (different brand), it helps to see it better when the light reflects off it. i think the pieces also hold together well. I would buy another one from this brand

We loved this puzzle. The pieces are shaped well, so it's easy to tell if you've got a fit or not. They are thick and study. Also, unlike many puzzles, the surface is matte and not shiny. This particular image is very lovely ("ocean life"). I like how there are enough variations in hue and brush stroke that you can fairly easily tell what part of the image a piece is from, but it's still a very challenging puzzle. It comes with a full-size poster.

If you've ever wished puzzles weren't so glossy and reflective, this one is for you. The pieces are 75% less shiny than average, making them much easier to see. The pieces are cut well, there's never any uncertainty if two pieces are "supposed" to fit together. Difficulty-wise, it's very challenging without being extreme or frustrating. Nothing in the image is easy to assemble because the colors are muted and the patterns all repeat. It made for several enjoyable puzzling sessions and was engaging from start to finish. Highly recommend.
