EuroGraphics The Japanese Footbridge by Claude Monet (1000 Piece) Puzzle (6000-0827) , Green

Like other Eurographics puzzles, good quality coloring, good quality cut, good quality fit, no paper to work off of, and all pieces are similar shapes with 2 knobs and 2 holes. I found this challenging puzzle entirely enjoyable - what a beautiful painting to explore in great detail! It helps that I have a flexible over-head light I can angle and tilted work surface. It also helps that I have a print of this painting hanging in another room to help me imagine the finished puzzle.It took me 3-4 weeks on-and-off effort to complete. Several times I was not sure if correct fit. I pick up 2 pieces and examine fit from behind. This highlights gaps when it's not the right place.

This one was HARD! But very satisfying! The pieces are tiny and all the same shape/size (but not identical; the tabs and slots have little variations in shape and size) and many of them are very similar colors. The quality is excellent; you can really see the details in the brushstrokes and the texture of the canvas. It took us two weeks of working on it off and on to complete, so make sure you have a good place to work on it. Unfortunately someone dropped a piece on the floor and our toddler gummed it and ruined it, so we missed the satisfaction of putting that last piece in. 😆

I had this puzzle out on my coffee table so I can work on it but I noticed pieces kept going missing. Found out my dog was eating them, she’s fine but now I can never finish the puzzle. So if you have dogs keep it out of their reach because apparently cardboard is a tasty snack for them.

I am an occasional puzzler and not done one in years.... This one is very challenging! it will take weeks, even if you are experienced---so not a project for a date night... But the quality of the print is very good and while working on it one can appreciate the brush strokes of Monet and the incredible many colors and hues and touches on even a very small spot. The quality of the pieces is good and very fine--- best to have a large table with some very good lighting source so you can deflect light flare. and plan on weeks..... ;-)

packaged well, pretty picture

This was the most challenging puzzle I have worked BUT TOTALLY WORTH IT!

My puzzle didn’t have every piece. Searched high and low, couldn’t even finish the outside border

I’ve been doing puzzles throughout quarantine and this one has been the most rewarding. It took me longer to complete than other puzzles, but it wasn’t frustrating. Definitely recommend if you want a challenge.
