Exceptional quality
Love Cross & Glory puzzles. Colors in the picture are as vibrant on the pieces. Pieces fit together like a glove and are easy to move into place. My favorite brand of puzzles. Right amount of challenge and ease.

Many good qualities
Very impressed with this puzzle from Cross & Glory. I'm a stickler for a good puzzle, and this one came through. Here are some qualities I've noted while putting this together:1. The pieces were a tiny bit thin, but durable enough...not flimsy at all, but not super thick either.2. The pieces fit well together--there were very few times where I felt like two pieces MIGHT have fit, but then didn't.3. When opening up the puzzle, only two pieces were together...the other 998 were nicely separated and shuffled.4. No pieces were missing! Also, there were no EXTRA pieces, as sometimes happens with new puzzles (how does that even happen?!).5. The puzzle was challenging, but not TOO challenging. There were enough patterns to follow so that each day I could tackle a section or two and not get tired of it.6. Once the basic patterns were completed, there was still about 20% of the puzzle to put together that was a little more difficult. That's okay...don't want to have it all too easy (or too much too hard and frustrating).7. The colors were vibrant, and the final puzzle perfectly reflected the picture of the puzzle on the box.One small issue: The insert with the final picture is helpful, but it was small. It was, however, more clear than the slightly larger picture on the box. So, between the two, they were very helpful, but it was hard to see the full detail, even with my glasses on. Not a deal killer though; just a bit harder to see the fine details of some of the puzzle's finer nuances of color.Overall, I was really impressed with this puzzle and enjoyed it immensely. Good to know there is a nice brand that I can rely on for future purchases. I also bought the octopus, which looks a bit more challenging, and I'll review that when I'm finished...looking forward to breaking it out! :)

Very challenging!
What a nice puzzle! Pieces are sturdy and well cut. I started working on this and realized it was going to be a challenging one! As I was working on it one night my adult daughter and her boyfriend asked if they could help - absolutely! This is the first puzzle anyone has ever shown any interest in…now it is a fun family time puzzle. No phones, lots of talking and cheering as we find pieces to fill in the puzzle. I am definitely going to frame this one If it weren’t for the help I probably would have given up…very challenging. I asked the “kids” what it is about this puzzle that compelled them to help me when they have seen me work on dozens of puzzles and had never shown any interest…they said “it’s challenging “. True! The colors are great and we’re getting close to the end!Got it framed!

Ridiculously small poster included…update…workaround
I wish I could give this 5 stars. The fit of the pieces is excellent. The sheen is adequately matte. And the image, I love it. So much color and the art is a visual feast for the eyes.However, the included poster is a joke. It is 5” x 7”, in other words, tiny. For most puzzles that wouldn’t be a problem because there is always the art on the box right? Well, the box is also tiny. Tiny box means tiny picture. The picture on the box isn’t much bigger than the included poster. This is one puzzle you need an adequate image to reference. The art is abstract, so doesn’t follow the normal rules. There are many small details that help locate the correct location of a piece. Without an image that can be carefully studied it is an exercise in frustration. I have no problem with a difficult puzzle. This puzzle would be that even with a larger reference image but difficult and frustrating are not the same thing.Maybe their licensing agreement for that art doesn’t allow for a larger poster but next time they should spend a little more to allow for a larger poster.Update.I found a workaround. Not as good as having a larger poster but it works. The manufacturer's website has higher quality images than can be found here. I saved one to my iPad and I am able to zoom right in.I changed my rating from 2 stars to 4 stars because I found a workaround, the image is amazing and because I have finished the puzzle and am even more impressed with the quality of the pieces. I have built many puzzles from many brands and can say that this is the best fitting puzzle I have built. I didn’t have any misfits. The pieces are a bit thinner than average but that is fine because the cardboard is of better quality and stronger. There are no worries about bending the nubs over.A suggestion to the manufacturer, INCLUDE LARGER POSTERS.

Angelfish Abstract
My first Cross and Glory puzzle and it is beautiful. Love the vibrant colors, the pieces are so nice and fit so well. Appreciate this company offering unique puzzles. It’s a great change up from the typical puzzle pictures. Little pricy but you get what you pay for! Next Cross and Glory already in my cart! I highly recommend you give any of their puzzles a try you won’t be disappointed.

great image, but as good an execution
The image was great, but seemed AI generated. No artist is credited.poster too small to figure out the abstract patterns in the puzzle.But the worst aspect (for me) was that every piece was the same basic shape. You have to rely totally on color and some variation on aspects of the standard piece. Some pieces were so similar that I had a number of pieces in the wrong place.I feel that this company has a lot of potential, but this puzzle disappointed me.
