I bought 5 or 6 puzzles from Amazon in the last month, all more expensive than I would normally pay, completed 4 of them, and so far this one is the one I enjoyed most and felt was a better quality puzzle and worth the price. This one by White Mountain Puzzles and artist Lorie Schory was so well made, interesting, and great fun to work that I took note of both the puzzle manufacturer and the artist and kept notes so that I could try to get more of this series. This is certainly a "feel good" puzzle that will bring a smile to your face as you go along!

The puzzle has slightly larger "fully interlocking pieces", ( which I much prefer to odd shaped pieces ) and is of nice heavy weight stock, presenting a snug fit. There is a clear variance and individuality in the puzzle die cut pieces, along with the great array of colors, to keep you from mixing up where a piece goes, which I have found I hate about some other puzzles with pieces that are easily "tradeable" by mistake. Besides being made so well, this puzzle is chock full of amusing things one might see at a really huge yard sale. Lots of funny, colorful, and bright or nostalgic 50's 60's things can be seen, as well as memorabilia of many other eras, lively junk a big family would collect over the years if they were all a little bit of a packrat!

My opinion is that if you catch yourself working a jigsaw puzzle and leaving it partly assembled for a week or more on a table, only going back once in awhile to add 20 or so pieces, then the puzzle isn't worth what you paid for it. Whether it's just either incredibly boring, dull looking, or too lame and easy, or too annoyingly impossible due to crazy shaped pointy pieces that don't really fit well, or a field of green grass all the same shade and a mile of blue blue sky......... then phooey on it!

But this isn't any of those things. This puzzle is the kind that makes you not want to go to bed at one a.m. even though you have to work the next day, because you want to work some more of it!!

A simply wonderful "medium" ( difficulty level ) puzzle for adults of any age, or even teens, and I recommend it highly. Hoping to find more White Mountain/Lorie Schory puzzles to look forward to working!

I loved this puzzle! The pieces were larger than average, especially for a 1,000 piece, so there wasn't any squinting to see what was on each piece. There is a lot going on in the picture, so it was fairly easy to tell which part of the puzzle each piece went to. The variety also kept the puzzle interesting (can you find the head in the jar?!). It was a fun puzzle to do and I highly recommend it!

I used to do puzzles and liked them very well - 'hadn't in a long time - my college roommate from WAY back was doing them, so I bought this one - LOVED it! Not sure I would call it a toy for children - maybe teens, I guess.

It was very fun for me - I will buy more puzzles!

Supplies needed: magnifying glass, card table for puzzle, another table for pieces, probably good to glue onto something after finished; 'haven't gotten that far yet (glue, etc). Corners and edges first!
