Hello, just wanted to write to say what a wonderful experience we had putting this puzzle together. My wife and I have done many large jigsaw puzzles over the years but this one was the most memorable. The puzzle measures 428cm x 157cm (4.28m x 1.57m) or 168.5in x 61.8in (14' .5" x 5' 1.8"). It comes in 4 separate bags of 6000 pieces each. We assembled it one section at a time but you can mix all the sections together if you want to. We received the puzzle in early May and started construction on Mother's Day (May 13th, 2007) and finished it on June 16th, 2007. It took us 34 days!! Working primarily after work and weekends, it took us approx 400 man hours to complete. That's 200 hours for each of us. According to the www.worldslargestpuzzle.com website we were the first to complete it. I highly recommend attempting this puzzle if you feel you are up to it. I have a website that documents the our construction with lots of pictures if your interested. www.aegroup.com/puzzle. Good Luck!

My family and I bought this for my mom for Christmas and we're all huge puzzle fans. It is an insane puzzle. We built a special table to do this puzzle on. $80 in plywood and a few hours later the table was made and we have begun to sort puzzle pieces on paper plates by color and what we think is on the piece.

The box is huge and has little string/rope handles on the side to assist you in lifting it and there are four bags inside, I'm assuming 6000 pieces per bag. They are nice, quality pieces but I must make sure to keep my puppy away from them. They aren't strong enough to last in her mouth very long.

The puzzle isn't finished yet, but we're taking pictures of the progress and will hopefully post finished pictures on Amazon.com when the puzzle is complete.

I highly recommend for any puzzle freak like my family and I! :P

Got this puzzle after seeing another large puzzle at a store which did not interest me so found this one and through it not only looked challenging (which it is) but also colorful and something the family would enjoy for a long time to come. We as a family are not done with the puzzle as the holidays only bring us together for short periods but we do enjoy the time together working on this puzzle and it has been fun for the entire family from 5 to 55!

This puzzle has been great to work on. My husband and I have been working on it for 2 years now. We work on them in the wintertime (we live in Wisconsin, those winters can be long and cold). It is a beautiful puzzle, and better than many larger volume piece size puzzles than we have done in the past. There are many "mini puzzles" to work on with in the larger one. We are looking forward to the day when we can put it all together and state that we have completed it!

This jigsaw puzzle is amazing! It's huge, stunning to look at with all the vibrant colours, an excellent bonding project for the whole family and quite a challenge!
WARNING: This item does require PATIENCE & Plenty of ROOM!!!

Thanks to Amazon for providing me with the best price and customer service internationally

Life, The Greatest 24000 pcs Puzzle

Puzzle comes packaged in quadrants of 6,000 pieces each. I got this for an after-school club. Worked once a week in teams of 4 on each quadrant. At 24,000 pieces it's more tedious than imagined, but a great puzzle to work on with friends/family. If you are a fan of puzzles it's going to be a challenge. I have heard there is now a larger one with 32,000 pieces so I'm not sure if it still counts as the "world's largest puzzle". You are going to need a lot of space to work on this since the completed puzzle is about 12 feet long! recommended for die-hard puzzle fans.

I did this puzzle when it first came out. Was contracted to put it together. I see the review Scott put in, but would have to disagree with him. I got it the day it came out and completed it within 3 weeks, working alone. Educa was quite surprised. It currently hangs in Puzzles USA in the Biloxi, Mississippi Mall.

The quality is horrible. When putting it together, even small sections of the puzzle had to be lifted with sheets of paper behind them. It wouldn't hold together at all! Due to the size of said puzzle, it's very heavy when assembled. Even making the pieces thinner to cut down on weight, it's heavy enough to crush itself when framed. The man who owns it has had to add extra reinforcement to the back as well as screwing the frame directly to studs with BIG screws. The picture is pretty from a distance, but is quite sloppy up close. Some of the pictures are crystal clear while some are very grainy. It's obvious where the different pictures overlap. The reward for me was when it was finished and framed because I no longer had to deal with it. Even the mounting and framing was difficult.
