White Mountain Puzzles Pencil Collage - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

I have found White Mountain puzzles to be the best puzzles. I have tried other brands but this product is consistent and excellent quality

This is one of the most fun puzzles I have ever worked! Its not the hardest, even though it looks tough. Its just a lot of fun if you are looking for something a little more challenging and different from the usual. I highly recommend this puzzles for avid puzzler!

The puzzle arrived open and possibly used. The puzzle was not in a bag, as other puzzles from this manufacturer are. The box was also not sealed and the box contained none of the packaging that is included with other puzzles from this manufacturer. Pieces were spilling out into the shipping box and many pieces ended up being missing. Other than that, the puzzle was challenging and well designed. Would recommend if you get a new one in box.

I like a puzzle that gives me a little challenge and this one did. It was challenging enough that it was fun, but not so hard that I got frustrated.

It was difficult without being frustrating, and it was fun finding tiny pictures on the pencils that you dont notice looking at the big picture. All pieces were in the box and are thick and snap together securely. A lot of fun for puzzle enthusiasts!

Short backstory: Im getting back into jigsaw puzzles after a long time away. This is the first White Mountain puzzle Ive tried. I dont want to make generalities until I try another, but I may be hesitant before the next purchase. First, the good: - Its an attractive puzzle with great finished looking value - The pieces all come in a plastic bag, so theres no oopsie opening the box - Many of the pieces are delightfully odd-fitting, making the actual puzzle more challenging than it first appears - The puzzle box stand is a cute idea. At least for the border. Now, the not so happy: - Way too many machining errors. I had a lot (and I mean a LOT) of pieces that had to be torn apart, versus just separated - To that point, also way too many pieces stuck together, rather than fully separate - The torn apart pieces left flaps of material that then needed to be ripped off before the piece would fit together (try getting into those tiny puzzle piece gaps to grab that flap of paper) - The puzzle box stand is a nice idea, but becomes mostly useless when you need to do detail work on the puzzle and have to bring the box cover in close. - Tons of puzzle dust. Maybe Ive been spoiled by Buffalo Games puzzles, but this was an awful lot of dust The puzzle was fun and a little more challenging than I expected. As I always do in my puzzle reviews, I like to offer up my puzzle strategy (I always like seeing how others tackle their puzzle solving). For this one, I decided to work all the white pencils first. This turned out to be fortuitous, as most all of the white pencils were right side up. A good puzzle, but for me, that constant stopping and trimming was excruciating. Hopefully, thats not a White Mountain constant and I was just unlucky.

Enjoyable puzzle that was not easy! Good quality. I like that White Mountain included a Box Stand for the lid. It holds the lid up for easy viewing and takes less room on the table.

I really love this brand of puzzle. This was a tougher one for sure but loved the colors and the concept.

It was challenging and fun! I love the colors and the messages/logos on the pencils. I would highly recommend this one for the methodical or chaotic or sectional puzzle-workers. :-) I will work this one again and again!

The puzzel is lovely and fun to work on, however it was missing two pieces one was a corner and one in the middle. When first began, of course looked for edges, when I was unable to find the last corner, I picked up every piece and put in back in box twice, I assumed it would become evident as puzzle progressed. Never found it.
