White Mountain Puzzles Pencil Collage - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

We loved it, enough complexity to make it good for good puzzlers.

This was a fun puzzle to make, and it is not as hard as it looks -- once you get started.

We have a puzzle table every year at Thanksgiving and people can sit there as long as they want to put the puzzle together. It usually only takes Thanksgiving day for them to complete it, but this puzzle took three days to complete. We have to find another good one to stump this with this year.

That is what I was going for. My brother-in-law is a puzzle nut. This should keep him busy over Christmas break. Photo accurate and it arrived on time.

We work on puzzles at our office during lunchtime and breaks. It’s a time to decompress. We love our difficult challenging puzzles. This will be a challenge.

It looks much harder than it is. The size of the pieces are great and the way this puzzle is made is amazing. The pieces actually snap into place. No ragged edges like you get with regular puzzles. Definitely high quality!

I’m an avid puzzler and this is by far one of the most enjoyable puzzles I’ve ever built. Pieces are quality and tight. When I finished the puzzle I picked up both corners and easily lifted the entire puzzle off the counter without any pieces breaking. The detail is great and entertaining. Once you get the colors down, it’s quite easy. One of the few puzzles I have that I look forward to doing again!!

I bought this puzzle for my wife, who is an avid puzzler. It was not, in fact, that difficult, as the pencils largely have text on them, making it easy to identify which piece goes with which pencil. However, each pencil was so interesting and the text so fun to read that even I, who am not much into puzzles, sat down for a while to help my wife with it. Though we both said the puzzle was actually a rather simple one, it was one of the ones we enjoyed the most. We will do this one again and get the same amount of pleasure from it.

This was a challenging puzzle, and pretty much worth the price. My chief comment is that the pieces tend to delaminate even with careful handling. (See the picture.) As I go along I am gluing the layers back together as they separate so that perhaps this will be less of a problem next time around. Other puzzles I have worked have slightly thicker pieces which do not delaminate. Ill stick to those manufacturers for future purchases.

A great puzzle & the pieces arent just the standard shapes so a little more challenging!
