Puzzler's Place

I just finished this lovely puzzle and really enjoyed it. It's a little more challenging than some, due to the areas of similar patterns and colors, such as the many shelves of books and the carpet, especially. The picture is a bit on the darker side overall as well, which makes it harder to discern where, exactly, the pieces go. After working on it awhile and completing the border and some of the easier areas, it became easier to finish, as one would expect. I wouldn't recommend this puzzle to those that have poor vision or don't have the large space needed to spread out. My puzzle was sold as "used, like new" from Warehouse Deals. Fortunately, it arrived in excellent condition. The interesting thing was that it stated two different sizes on the box. One was 15 inches by 38.75 inches while 32 x 24 inches was noted in another place. As I laid the pieces all out, I realized it was the larger, 32 x 24 inch sized puzzle. It takes A LOT of room, as the 750 large format pieces are substantially bigger, but so much easier to work with than tiny, standard sized ones, which I appreciate very much. I also appreciate the way Ravensburger puzzle pieces just fit together so well. You know you've placed them correctly because they just slide together perfectly. The "no-glare" finish is preferable too, as I'm often working puzzles in the evening and have lights on, which can make glossy finished puzzles hard to see and fatigue your eyes. One annoying thing about Ravensburger puzzles is that they seem to always place something over an area of the picture, blocking it. The front picture on the box is the only reference you have, unlike some puzzle manufacturers that include a separate print. I thought that I had the wrong puzzle pieces until I realized there was a second bear behind this "label"! I've attached a picture of my completed puzzle to share this area with you all for reference. Some may enjoy this little, extra challenge, but I'd guess that most find it more annoying, as I do. In the end, I really enjoyed this puzzle and recommend it to others that appreciate a little challenge. It wasn't "difficult" in my opinion, but a fun undertaking that took a bit of time and focus to complete. I'm happy to have paid less than the current cost of this quality puzzle, so I suggest that you shop around if you have time. Loved it!!!

Ravensburger cozy series are great, the pieces are big for older folks and pieces click in place. I always donate my finished puzzles to the local senior centers and homes

Ravensberger puzzles are the best & each piece is made of high quality material!!! The colors are always so vibrant…love them!!!!

During the Pandemic, we have been doing puzzle after puzzle. Most of them are Ravensburger because of their sturdiness of pieces, their workmanship, and their pretty designs. We have especially enjoyed their large piece format, and we have moved up to 750 pieces, having originally begun puzzling at 300. The puzzle was wonderful. We foun the pieces easy to hold, yet there was quite a bit of challenge in the design. Overall rating is 5 stars, for quality, fun, and challenge.

There is a Ravensburger puzzle to suit everyone-young to old. You can get big pieced ones or smaller pieced ones. The pieces lock well and are easy to pick up. We have bought about twenty of these and passed them around to friends. Every two years we go back and do an old one and it seems new again. These are the best quality of puzzles we have bought so far. Children enjoy the Disney themed series.

Just started this puzzle. Nice picture and very relaxing.

Typical quality and no missing pieces. Only complaint was the packing came damaged and made it difficult to see the cover image when building puzzle.

Ravensburger "Cozy Series" 740 piece puzzle is well made!! The pieces are a reasonable size, but I hoped they were a little bigger ... This puzzle was fun to work on and I did enjoy it! I'd buy more if the weren't SO expensive. Ravensburger, give us a price break .... please!!

Beautiful puzzle ! Love Ravensburger - always vibrant colours, high detail and the locking pieces make for a really fun and engaging experience. The option for large piece puzzles makes it easy to choose the right puzzle for your individual tastes

Bordering on "hard" but makes a great finished picture.

I haven't been doing jigsaws for very long, but this is the 5th Ravensburger jigsaw that I have bought. Like another reviewer mine arrived with 2 labels plastered over the picture on the front. The 4 previous jigsaws had pictures included inside the box. Unfortunately this one had no picture. I have contacted Ravensburger to see if they can send me a picture. If they can't, I will be returning it. I waited 13 days for it to be delivered which is the longest I have had to wait for a jigsaw to be delivered. If I can't get a picture for it then I don't think I'll be buying anymore from this brand. Very disappointed.

I paid a lot for this Large Format 750 pc as it was hard to find here in Australia, my only negative part of the puzzle was that the picture on the site was a lot lighter than the actual puzzle which was disappointing. After reading the other reviews I guess I am fortunate that there is no missing pieces, still I am happy to have the puzzle and it will be a keeper.

Great quality with large pieces so easier to see but still challenging.
