Just looking at the picture of what this puzzle would look like once I had finished it was enough to make me want to order it. I put it out on the table on Christmas Day for everybody to have the opportunity to work on it. In all, only 3 of us were willing to try. This is a very challenging puzzle for several reasons.

First - the puzzle is so large (24 x 30) that it takes up almost the entire width of my old farmhouse style kitchen table. I had to do a lot of standing up and walking around just to reach all sections of the puzzle.

Second - the motifs are exact repeats within the two borders. The outer border has four identical motifs in each corner so you never knew which pieces went with which corner. The other band of border is a different motif, which repeats endlessly around the entire inside.

All in all, this is a wonderfully challenging puzzle. This definitely requires patience. Time after time I was sure that a particular piece had been left out only to finally find what I was looking for. Many of the pieces also fit together very nicely, but proved to be the wrong piece for that spot. It took me about 5 1/2 days to finish the puzzle but I had help from two other people when it was first put out. I would have liked to just leave it up and work it at my leisure, but such is not my nature. Now it will sit out for a while so that I can admire the picture. I was working on it so intently I didn't see the beauty of it until I was finished.

On the average, I work one puzzle per week (1,000 pc). I live in the panhandle of Florida and it has been hard finding different puzzles in this area. Therefore, I went to the internet...Amazon, of course! I found this puzzle and was immediately drawn to it by the picture itself and by the reviews. So, I must add that this is the most fun puzzle I have ever worked. I thought it was going to be extremely difficult, but it is not that hard, although it is challenging! And whoever said the pieces didn't stay together needs to work some of the puzzles I've worked where the pieces really DON'T stay together. This puzzle is great. The pieces stay together very well and they fit together nicely. I absolutely love this puzzle and would highly recommend it to anyone who is a jigsaw puzzle enthusiast like me.

The repetitive nature of the border made this puzzle very challenging indeed. I am a cat lover and enjoyed this puzzle very much. I plan on assembling it for a 2nd time before framing it--the intricate border will double as a matte. It truly is a piece of art.
