This review is from: La Belle Dame Sans Merci, Sir Frank Dicksee (3000 pc puzzle) (Toy)

This puzzle is beautiful -- the picture is very romantic and being a horse lover and married to a chivalrous husband, it just suits us perfectly. I ordered this and got it within about 10 days, but it worked out perfectly as a Father's Day gift. Many puzzles over 3000 pieces are city-scapes and other art that are not appealing to us, but this one is beautiful.

The quality of puzzle from this company is fantastic. The pieces are thicker and sturdy and the edges snap together very well. This is our second large puzzle by EDUCA, and we have been VERY pleased with the quality of their products. They live up to their reputation. The printing is very good quality also, not fuzzy or "dotty" like cheap puzzles.

My husband did a 5000 piece Educa puzzle a few years back and we glued, framed it, and hung it in our entryway. It looks so perfect from even a few feet away that most people are shocked to find out it's a puzzle and not a 5' x 4' painting! Only when they get really close can they see that it is a puzzle -- that is how good the printing and piece matching is with this brand of puzzles!!

The best feature of EDUCA puzzles is that for serious puzzlers, if you lose a piece or one is missing from the box, you can order that exact piece from the manufacturer for a very reasonable price. When you spend this much time putting something this tedious together, only to have your heart sink when you discover a piece is gone (or the cat chewed it up) it's good to know all is not lost -- replacement pieces are at your fingertips!

Highly recommend these puzzles -- well worth the price. When I shopped for this, as usual, Amazon.com had the best price because of free shipping. Thanks Amazon!
