Ravensburger - Puzzle on Puzzles - 3000 Piece Jigsaw - Stunning Imagery - Bold Colors & Intricate Details - Premium Quality - for Adults

Very difficult 3000 piece puzzle, but so much fun to challenge myself. It's actually so big that I have to build it on 2 separate tables. Quality puzzle. Beautiful color variations. Sturdy pieces fit together snuggly. No letters on the back, thank goodness! About 1/3 of the way done.... wish me luck!

I really enjoy this puzzle of puzzle pieces, nice pastels, a real change from scenic puzzles. I have over twenty-five Ravensburger puzzles as you can see I got hooked on them. Most of them are the 3000 because the 5000 require too much surface and the 2000 are too fast. I see people complain about terrible pieces or lost ones. Well I can honestly tell you I only had one missing piece in all the puzzles from this company and I probably lost it myself. I found three pieces in the wrapper after I had thrown it away once. Yes once in a great while a piece or two will be misshaped but I just go with the flow, "don't get my undies in a bundle" as they say life is too short! They are priced higher then most puzzles but they are quality and last.

There are so many good things about this Ravensburger puzzle of a puzzle: high quality, vivid, clear image; precisely cut; exact fit; full image of finished puzzle on box; and something I didn’t expect - a beautiful sheen to each piece. It looks like satin. The most challenging thing about this puzzle is the fact that it’s an image of a puzzle, which means one has to be able to distinguish between the edge of an actual piece and the edge of a piece in the picture. Note that it’s 3000 pieces. It took me 6 weeks, working most days for an hour or two. Or three! Be sure to check the size of your table before you start: the finished size is 48 inches by 32 inches. A lesser challenge, but still a challenge, is the continuous gradation of color. I’m good at perceiving these gradations, but probably not everyone can. About 2/3 the way through putting it together, I became a little frustrated that I wasn’t finished. Then I reminded myself that it is 3 times larger than any other puzzle I have done. It took me an hour to take it apart. I will probably do it again next winter.

Really great puzzle, all the pieces were there and fit great! Would definitely do this one again. Quality of pieces was perfect.

I’m only giving this 5 stars because I absolutely love Karen to bits. But this is not the quality that I expect from Ravensburger. It’s almost like the puzzle was miscut. One whole side of edge pieces were not full pieces. There were also some small holes once the pieces were together. Also some of the pieces were stuck completely together even though they appeared to be separate pieces. I’ve never seen any of this from a Ravensburger.

I've owned so many Ravensburger puzzles over the years and the quality of their prints and individual pieces are as excellent as ever. I was a bit dubious about how it will look and feel building a puzzle of an image made up of puzzles, but am very pleased at how well it is turning out. I've finished about a quarter of it as I'm writing this review, but have to admit that I'm deliberately taking it slow: this is a very enjoyable image to assemble and I want it to last as long as possible. I watch Karen Puzzles on YouTube, and after seeing it on the shelves in some of her videos fell in love with the colours and composition. It is a bonus, of course, that it is a 3,000 piece puzzle — the bigger the better!

This was a great puzzle to make. The design was whimsical and challenging. Unfortunately this was not a quality Ravensburg puzzle. 1. Too much puzzle dust - I had to use a hand vacuum to clean up the dust. 2. Top layer of puzzle easily separated from pieces 3. No true image of puzzle - the edges were cut off and some of the colors were not consistent with image.

Ravensburger, please note that I am rating 5 stars: A) because I could never rate Karen Puzzles less than 5 stars and B) because I have done enough Ravensburger puzzles to know the quality is usually amazing.This is an irresistibly colorful puzzle and I will automatically buy anything designed by Karen. I hadn't ever done a 3000 piece before but I just took my time and worked on it as the mood struck. If you feel overwhelmed, it is important to remember that it gets easier as you get more pieces put into place. I also re-watched Karen's videos about this puzzle and puzzle tips and tricks while working on this puzzle. I found it helpful when I felt like I wasn't making progress. I wasn't sure I would like such a big puzzle, but I do feel like it made the experience feel more special and like an investment.As mentioned by other reviewers, my puzzle had the issue where pieces would stick inside other pieces and become a little damaged when separating. I have never run into this issue with any other puzzle before. And usually Ravensburger puzzles are great quality. I don't know what happened here, but I trust Ravensburger will look into it and correct this problem.I also struggled with the fact that the box lid was cropped slightly smaller than the image used for the puzzle. At times it threw me off, especially since there was already such a difference in the scale of the items.Overall, I would recommend this puzzle and look forward to seeing more offerings from this collaboration.
