Galison, Puzzle Houseplant Jungle 1000 Piece

Great puzzle! The image is absolutely stunning—any plant lover is sure to enjoy it. The piece quality was good, the fit was great, and the overall experience was both challenging and really fun. I loved watching each plant come to life as I finished its section. Highly recommend if you enjoy beautiful, detailed puzzles with a satisfying level of challenge.

I am fond of challenging, over-several-days puzzles - not the dumb kind like abstract color blocks, but real imagery that includes brushstrokes and visual details to match up pattern areas. This beautiful illustration makes an exciting and challenging jigsaw puzzle experience, relying on leaf pattern and color splashes to find locations. This was a 3-4 afternooner for me. Extra touches that were delightful was the inclusion of a plant key that identifies all the houseplants in the image, and a tiny, secret ladybug that you will discover as you do the puzzle. As a gardener, I enjoyed both immensely. Negatives: The puzzle cardboard itself came with quite a bit of dust, and in a plastic bag. Certain pieces that didn't match did fit together in a way that the finger bits unlayered or bent as I tried to get them out of the mismatched groove bits. It's a standard thickness puzzle, and the picture didn't tear from the first layer of cardboard but more along the middle layer. Well, that's why I lower a star for sturdiness (de-layering) and gifting (the dust). Overall, though, top quality puzzle and I enjoyed every bit of it. Great gift to a gardener-puzzler, lover of green, lover of 2D illustrations.

Great puzzle! Quality weight, beautiful colors.

Nothing to dislike. I have nearly all the plants for real. You have to be a plant lover. Value, good. Speed. Who wants to go fast, it's relaxing. Picture quality is fantastic. Fit great. Not difficult at all if you like puzzles. Sturdiness, great.

Very nice and beautiful.

Missing one puzzle piece. Disappointed but it was fun putting it together.

I thought my wife and her 93 year-old mom would like this jigsaw puzzle and the three of us would enjoy doing it together. It was too much for my mom-in-law to get into the patterns were too small and the pieces even smaller (for her) to really participate. So, my wife and I did it together and I have to say we really enjoyed it! The image is nice, sometimes it doesn't look like part of it are matching, but I figure you have to go with the flow even though the precision of the image is not all there. In the end it all worked out and the completed puzzle was nice overall. The puzzle pieces were not as solid as I would have hoped, there was a lot of puzzle dust initially when we first started and edges of the pieces start to fray and the image can start to separate from the piece itself, so it goes without saying you need to handle the pieces gently and not jam them together or yank them apart with force. Other than that, the puzzle is fun and provided us with enough challenge vs. progress to keep it always interesting.

An excellent puzzle starts with a high quality image that is vibrant, highly saturated, and with lots of visual interest - this Galison puzzle has just that! All these features combined with thick, sturdy puzzle pieces makes this puzzle an excellent set to work with. The pieces fit snugly together that you can pick the puzzle up without it falling apart. As a result of this it is much harder to dismantle or separate the puzzle when you are ready to put it away. I saw this as a positive and decided to frame puzzle for a lovely statement piece and conversation starter. I highly recommend Galison puzzles for families. Grade A+
