This review is from: King Tut Jigsaw Puzzle 1000pc (Toy)
This is the first puzzle I have assembled that was manufactured by White Mountain Puzzles.
The image has very vibrant colors, and the quality of the pieces is very nice. They are large and have good weight. The pieces fit together decently snug, but not as snugly as some of the other puzzles that I've done.
The top left corner and bottom right corner area of flourishes had a problem: The cuts of the pieces fit so exact in both areas that it wasn't until the end when just a few pieces started to not fit that I realized there was a problem with assembly.
There are many different cuts to the pieces but just not enough around the edges and the inside several rows deep. It was as if they mirrored the cuts of the pieces across those two corners. Obnoxious but it got fixed.
For the cost vs others out there it seems to be on the high end. You've really got to love the image on the puzzle.
It was quick for me to do for a 1000 piece. I had it assembled in 7.5 hours when normally it would take me closer to 10 hrs to assemble a puzzle this size.
The final dimensions are slightly different from the box at 24 1/4 inches vertical, 30 inches horizontal.
