Bgraamiens Puzzle-Queen in Mandala-1000 Pieces Square Puzzle Color Challenge Jigsaw Puzzles for Adults and Kids

This beauty was a joy to assemble. I have had the pleasure to do quite a few puzzles from this company and I have enjoyed every one of them. The pieces are sturdy cardboard with a semi-gloss finish on the image side and a letter-coding system on the backside to offer assistance when doing any challenging areas. There was little puzzle dust and the image on the puzzle matched the image on the box. The random cut pieces had some pieces that were not separated, but I had no problem separating them and don’t feel that it impacted my assembly process at all. The fit of this puzzle was tight enough to allow me to pick up the finished puzzle to take a photo of the backside, but not so tight that it was hard to disassemble. As you can tell by my progress photos, I started with the peacock head and body before moving on to the tail and background, doing the border last. With the assistance of the letter-coding on the back, this puzzle would be great for beginners. Experienced puzzlers would not need any help but would find this puzzle to be a good blend of easier and harder areas to put together. I highly recommend this puzzle and hope that you would enjoy it as much as I did.

I loved this image. It lent itself very well to puzzling with the great colors and detail. Included in the box was a picture which was true to the image on the puzzle, helpful if you assemble puzzles by checking the box or picture. The only minor drawback was that about a dozen times as I sorted the pieces, I found a piece stuck to its neighbor, but they were easily pulled apart so I don't view that as a huge detractor. There was very little puzzle dust! The pieces were sturdy, none had bent corners or separated layers, and fit together well. I highly recommend this puzzle. This is my second puzzle from Bgraamiens and I'm definitely doing more!

My favorite pandemic puzzle so far. The image is really lovely and modern, and the random cut pieces are fun and challenging. There was minimal puzzle dust, and the piece thickness was good. I didn't use the letter-coding on the back of the pieces, but I liked the glossy feel of that side of the pieces. I had to separate several pieces that weren't cut all the way through. It didn't bother me, but it was more prevalent with this puzzle than with the Ravensburgers we have assembled. From the other reviews, it sounds like folks have had missing pieces, but ours was complete.

This was a fun puzzle to work on and challenging at times. The only thing that keeps from giving it a full 5 stars is that some interior pieces had straight edges which is one of my pet peeves when working on puzzles. Luckily the edges of this puzzle are easy to differentiate from the interior pieces because of the design, but it still was a bummer. But if you don't care about that, then ignore my personal preference. The pieces were good quality and sturdy. There were a bunch that were still stuck together, but easy to separate (I prefer to do that rather than have the extra help.) I appreciated that the puzzle included a larger copy of the completed puzzle image to help when putting it together.

I've been doing a lot of puzzles lately, and so far this is far and above my favorite. The pieces are random cut, which I prefer, and thick/sturdy, with a nice shiny finish. The difficulty level ranges from not too hard to excruciatingly hard, and I like the variety. If you get tired of working on the difficult border, for example, you can turn to an easy part of the peacock. It really was a joy to work on this puzzle.

I hadn't done a puzzle in a long time, this helped me remember how much I enjoy them. The puzzle is of great quality, no peeling or missing pieces. The box was shrink-wrapped and the puzzle was in a sealed bag within. There were some pieces that didn't fit super snug, but it wasn't a big deal, I just enjoy when the pieces click together snugly. I enjoyed this puzzle so much I ordered 3 more, can't wait to get them.

The puzzle I received had lots of Big chunks of pieces that were still together but I couldn't take them apart without the pieces ripping. I have bought a few puzzles from this brand that were all great but this one was disappointing. It's normal to have a few pieces still connected, but this one had so many that I was too frustrated to attempt the puzzle.

Was so challenging!
