Bgraamiens Puzzle-Retro Art Squares-1000 Pieces Creative Colorful Squares Hard Puzzle Color Challenge Jigsaw Puzzle

One hundred and fifty squares and all of them unique. What a great idea for a puzzle! All of Bgraamienss puzzles challenging and the Retro Art Squares is certainly no exception. I actually got to solve this puzzle twice. About two-thirds of the way through, I discovered that one of the six letter-identified sections was missing about forty pieces! This in a factory sealed puzzle! I wrote e-mails to Bgraamiens several times asking for a new one, but they never replied. When requested, Amazon promptly sent a replacement. Not a single piece is missing from the new copy! But, it is still most disappointing. The pieces fit so loosely that they dont naturally align with their neighbors. It takes extra care to keep the pieces snug in both horizontal and vertical directions. The cardboard backing of the puzzle must be rather soft, as the piece edges have a decided depression. This gives the completed puzzle something of a washboard effect. At first glance, assembling a puzzle consisting of so many similar shapes would seem very daunting. I did cheat by sorting by the letters stamped on the back of the puzzle. Within each of those sections, I tried to find the solid center of each square, and using the poster as a guide, placed them about where they would belong. Using this approach, and of course building the borders first, the puzzle turned out to be a lot of fun to construct.

This was a fun challenge! The pieces are quite sturdy and the colors were more saturated than the picture depicts.

I have been looking for a puzzle that would keep me busy for awhile and this did it. There is a guide on the back of each piece (but I refused to use it). There were a few pieces that seemed like they could fit in a couple different places; but in then end, I was able to find all the right spots. The finished product was really pretty! Time for the next puzzle!

Great puzzle, but was missing 4 pieces when finished

Hard but in a good way. The puzzles themselves are well constructed and include a small poster of the image. I like that the image is done in a no reflective finish, cutting down glare and making it easier to work. An all around great experience

What a great challenge! I did it without looking at the box. The patterns are all different in color. I very much enjoyed doing this puzzle

This puzzle was very challenging. It took me exactly three weeks to finish. After getting the border finished I still didnt know where to begin. After a couple tries I decided to build the centers of the squares. After getting most of the centers done, I used the poster to place them in the proper placement. With these little square centers in place it was easier to finish. As time went on I had to rearrange the squares several times because of similarities. Without the included poster it would have been almost impossible to build. Ive just ordered another one of their puzzles that even looks to be more difficult!

Thought it would be super hard and had regrets after the purchase. Clues on the back of the puzzle pieces made it very enjoyable to assemble. Quality of the pieces is very good.

This was a great puzzle because it was challenging, but the fact that every square had a unique color combination made it fun to search for the right pieces!

Fun puzzle but there was a piece missing. A little disappointing which is why I gave it four stars
