St Ives Cornwall England Jigsaw Puzzle

The picture was nice and clear and looked good when it was all put together. It is so special to be able to have a puzzle of a place that is very important in our family's history. The printing of the actual puzzle was very nice. The picture on the box, however, left a bit to be desired. I sent this puzzle to my elderly parents and ordered a different one for myself. It was frustrating for all of us to try to work from the tiny computer printed pictures stuck on top of the boxes. I don't know if I'd have sent it if I'd known how tiny the model picture was.

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.
