Funnybox Red Kimono Beauty Paintings by Haruyo Morita- Wooden Jigsaw Puzzles 1000 Piece for Teens and Family

I was not missing pieces like some reviewers. The picture is beautiful, but the scale is different from the picture. Thank goodness they have the regions marked on the back of the pieces - some of them are so similar, it would be impossible to put them together, otherwise! Some of the pieces are a little difficult to fit, I really had to push hard to get them in there. I liked that it came with a large print of the puzzle, nicely packaged in a mesh bag. This one came in a standard cardboard box (the other one I bought just had a label slapped on the package). After i finished and tried to disassemble, I had a good laugh - it rolled up completely, without even popping a seam! More difficult to take apart than put together. We quickly learned that, by taking large chunks and putting them back in the bag, we could shake the bag and it would help separate them without destroying them.

The puzzle is beautiful, but I am disappointed with the quality of the cuts. Many of the pieces have little wood splinters sticking up on them which make them difficult to place in the puzzle. We havent yet completed it, but in the letter H section, there are two missing pieces. We sort the pieces according to their letters and place them in ziplock bags. I have been through every bag and the pieces are not there. I hope, since we havent completed the puzzle, that no more pieces are missing in any of the other sections. Its a shame, because I know when finished, the puzzle will be as beautiful as the picture.

This is my first time working on a jigsaw puzzle. I wanted one that would be relatively easy. This was perfect! The fact that you can work on it in sections made it easier and it takes up less space since you don’t have to lay out all the pieces at once. The letters also facilitate placing pieces as they show which direction the pieces fit. Plus the very distinct design makes this an easy puzzle. The quality of the puzzle itself is great. Pieces interlock well. It is possible to hold it up as it stays together. So you can move it out of the way if necessary. My husband and I really enjoy working on it while in lockdown.

The puzzle was very pretty and the pieces were sturdy, I ended up purchasing a similar one after I received this one.
