Ive been on a puzzle spree. In my childhood, I had a cork-backed puzzle that had the most satisfying fitting pieces. For some reason, no modern companies seem to do cork backs, so Ive been buying one puzzle from every major brand to see how the modern cardboard puzzles hold up. Clementoni - thick pieces but quite a few had peeling backs or split edges. A lot of stuck together pieces, like the die was dull. Fairly crumbly/loose-fitting--cannot pick up sections and move them easily. Ravensburger - thick pieces, good quality. VERY crumbly/loose-fitting--cannot pick up sections and move them at all. Masterpieces - almost too tight of fit, not easy to disassemble Buffalo - too shiny, much glare. Good fit, but quite a few split edges/peeling. Cobble Hill - I dont remember specifics, to be honest, but I do remember enjoying it. And finally, this Elena Essex puzzle. The pieces arent super think like Ravensburger or Clementoni, but they are thick enough. They have a nice matte finish so glare wont get in your way. The cut was perfect. I didnt have any pieces not fully cut. The fit was also perfect. Which is to say, just tight enough to transfer groups of assembled pieces, but just loose enough to make taking it apart pretty easy. So functionality-wise, this is the best puzzle so far. And I love super bright puzzles, so the image was perfect. The color gradient with the black background is just stunning. I will definitely be looking for Elena Essex puzzles again.

Overall high quality puzzle. One piece is peeling because it got picked up by the vaccum cleaner. It was harder than I thought but I enjoyed it! How do I get replacement pieces?

Pleased with item, it is a present for a puzzle person. I am sure she will like it. Thank you again for quick delivery, and surprise,surprise package delivered to right address. Had an enormous problem with delivery drivers, they come out and just throw packages anywhere.

Good sturdy puzzle. Colors are just as beautiful as youd hope

Super frustrating when you spend hours putting the puzzle together only to realize it is missing a piece!

We really enjoyed Elena Essexs rainbow kingdom puzzle--fine details and color gradations made it fun. Night reef appears to have the same qualities.

High quality pieces and a very cool design.

Saw it advertised and immediately wanted it! My best friend and I just finished the puzzle today after spending most of Christmas working on it. The schools of fish were the biggest troublemakers, but we had a great time with it - and it came out beautifully!

I just received this puzzle and started on it right away. It is so much fun to do. I love the gradient sections which made it easier to sort. It just is so pretty and am so glad I bought it. It will be a keeper for me.

Got this for our nursery as decor and loved it! All pieces included, fun to put together and turned our beautifully!
