New Zealand Atlas Map Jigsaw Puzzle

Love the quality of the puzzle pieces, thick pieces, glossy finish. Did not like that the outer edges of the completed puzzle were cut off giving an incomplete finished look - like a few outer rows were missing. Purchased to assemble and frame since we went to New Zealand for our honeymoon - the finished product didn't meet my expectations. Also assembly was most challenging since there was no finished product photo except for the one very small one on the box lid - maybe a 5 inch x 7 inch photo. The finished product was nice - except for what I mentioned above. We did frame it, but left it in the basement instead of upstairs in the main living room.

I got this image in 110 pieces as I cannot commit to large puzzles. This one took me about an hour and was fairly easy. Perhaps 252 pieces would have better suited me for a little more complexity. This is not my favourite sugar skull as I prefer more girly colours like hot pink, reds and purples but I enjoyed doing this one. There is a lot of detail in the image and it was interesting to do. I don't think I will buy the larger puzzle count just because there are other sugar skull images that I much prefer. Again very good quality puzzle and durable storage box that fits very well on small bookcase. The image was well positioned on this one so who ever printed this one got it pretty bang on.

We are pleased with the jigsaw itself. However we are disappointed the box is far bigger than the jigsaw and not the kind of storage box we expected i.e. Ravensburger standard; rather it's a postage box and not very sturdy at that. Given it cost £18 + pp we did expect more. The image quality is good. The pieces are rather thin and flimsy.
