Buffalo GamesPeter Stewart - Cinque Terre - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle For Adults - Challenging Puzzle Perfect for Game Nights - Finished Size is 26.75 x 19.75

No trick pieces, good quality, all pieces were there. I was worried about that because I read a few reviews saying pieces were missing. There was one side piece that had an odd shape and I didn't come across it until about 80% through the puzzle. The box came glued to the bottom, like one line of glue all the way around. Pieces were not in a bag so there was puzzle dust inside. I ordered two, same company, and both were sealed the same. (I saw someone mention no bag.)As far as quality, I have a few a bit better and I also have much worse. This is very good quality and I would definitely order again, especially given the price! It doesn't have so much of one color that you get bored or frustrated.Pieces seemed to be standard size for 1000 piece.

Fun and vibrant design

This is one of the most awesome puzzles we ever made. Showing the emblematic picture of Manarola, Cinqueterre, the puzzle captures the magic and beauty of the moment. My wife and I used to dream about spending some time there while wrestling with the beautiful nuances of the sky and deep sea. There are certainly some challenges to find the right pieces for the right places (cmon, folks...this is a puzzle!). We had to re-do some areas several times and the trick was to come from the opposite side building each layer until we found the correct sequence. The quality of the pieces was excellent and if you place them carefully they will not peel off. I've found Buffalo Games & Puzzles' customer services very professional and attentive when in a previously assembled puzzle the poster was missing. One phone call and they sent me the poster in a split second. Congrats for a job very well done. We are currently working in the Sleepy Town West puzzle from Charles Wysocky and the next one is already reserved...so much fun. And back to Cinqueterre, we decided to go and take a picture exactly from the same angle!

I really did love this puzzle, but found some features unnecessarily frustrating. At the end I was missing two pieces, which I assume were knocked off the table and lost, but I also had an extra piece that (while colored similarly to the colors in the puzzle) did not fit in either of the holes. This makes me less sure that I lost the two missing pieces. Also, the cuts were such that I ended up 3 or 4 times with pieces that seemed to fit together being in the wrong place. The fit was not perfect, but pretty close and the colors/patterns seemed to match. That led to some frustration down the road when I had to back track and figure out where the error was.

We pieced this lovely Italian scene together in a little over a week. We always begin with the borders then sort by color and also shape. The only tricky element with this puzzle was that several pieces could fit in the same spot. We often had to hold the connecting pieces up to the light to insure they were no gaps whatsoever. But that’s what puzzles are all about - the details!

Challenging but fun puzzle.

My boyfriend and I did this puzzle and had so much fun! It was absolutely a challenge though!

I bought this puzzle after the last two puzzles I worked on were missing pieces for one reason or another. The first thing I do not like about this one is that certain pieces seem to fit in multiple locations in the areas of broad color. This isn't just one piece, but a set of three, that fit in more than one spot really well. That's frustrating and really weird, as I had to take out pieces and just try them in other spots until it worked. Secondly, the puzzle is missing twelve pieces! How can this be? My girlfriend and I worked on this for many hours without the satisfaction of having something to feel proud of at the end.
