This puzzle was such a joy to work on because it was challenging. By the time you get to the all blue part, you realize the challenge has just begun. But, in my opinion, the blue background only adds to the time you are able to enjoy putting the puzzle together. Instead of the usual threshold that you reach after which putting the pieces into place gets easier and easier, this puzzle remains difficult to the very end. Many of the pieces are similarly shaped, which adds to the difficulty, but, really, only the correct piece fits properly into place (giving you that subtle snap that lets you know you have the right piece in the right place). In fact, the puzzle seems very cleverly designed in regard to making sure that all of the pieces fit properly.

The added benefit too is that, in the end, the puzzle is a beautiful piece of art.

My wife and I are working on this 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle and it's tough! Lots of blue background and stars. We're having fun with it, but it's going to take a while to finish it. The Charley Harper original is beautiful.

This is a really well-made puzzle. Pieces are sturdy and the cuts are clean. The artist's graphics are beautiful. I have bought several puzzles by Charley Harper and love them!
