Exceptional Quality, Took 15 Days

Took me 15 days to complete this puzzle -- worked on it off and on, mostly alone, like 3 hours a day -- more on the weekends. It was not as challenging as I had hoped but the quality was exceptional. So I will have to get an 18000 piece Ravensburger or something. I could not find a table large enough and had to work on it in parts -- first splitting the edges/frame vertically then once pieces started to collide, I split into quarters/corners. Removed large contiguous finished sections as I went in order to get more space. There are some very difficult sections: the whales (all black/grey), the turtle (really confusing and many textures), and the large section of blue water in the middle. In the end I was missing a single piece which I eventually found by looking under all my furniture. Pro tips for myself next time to save time: - carefully sort out the edge and corner pieces in one pass, instead of 2 - initially bin the pieces out further, at least 10 bins based on possible sections of the image (I ended up doing a lot of sub-binning, which adds time) - If you are having trouble with the edge/frame, carefully go back through and check for incorrect pieces. I had this issue pop up a few times due to how close some of the colors/shapes are. CONS: - several pieces came stuck together already, they should scramble it up better - the back of the pieces are blue, which is not very convenient with all the blue in the image, but I guess you'd run into same problem no matter what the color... actually bright PINK would work - it should come with a sheet showing the image, the one on the box is not large enough and parts of their logo obstructs the view (although there are tiny images on the side to compensate) - from the way it was made, every piece has a twin which is identically-cut twin but fortunately the colors are very different... perhaps this is unavoidable as there's a finite of distinguishable piece shapes possible - I half-expected that it would come with a fold out board to work on which would extend normal table size, but it didn't - they could have done an even better job removing the particles of cardboard from the manufacturing process (still, it is way better than other brands I've tried) PROS: - image is beautiful - parts of the image are very challenging, without being frustrating - great experience overall Now I have to figure out to hang this up... plan is to laminate the back of it, and use heavy-duty 3M velcro hangers -- if that doesn't hold then resort to puzzle glue.

Great Puzzle!

Before buying this puzzle, I read all the reviews. Some reported missing and a few damaged pieces, so I was a little concerned, having not purchased a Ravensburger puzzle before. While I don't doubt that some experienced these problems, my product arrived in perfect condition. And I cannot emphasize enough the high quality of this puzzle. The pieces are sturdy, compact, and hard to bend. There were ZERO warped, "unseparated", or worse--uncut--pieces. Even those pieces with the tiny, thin extensions that are easily broken or torn were pristine. There was also very little dust in the bag, especially considering the number of cuts in a 3000-piece jigsaw. Bottom line: If you are a puzzle enthusiast, you WILL enjoy this puzzle for its challenge, quality, and beauty. If you'd rather fit pieces rapidly while solving an easy puzzle or if you hope young children (and most teenagers) will embrace the slow progress, you will probably be frustrated. Of note, there was one curious issue when my wife and I assembled the edge pieces. There was a piece that SEEMED to fit in one place, but actually fit on the other side of the puzzle. It was a white coral piece, and it fit perfectly in two places, the color and shape were absolute matches. It took us about a half hour to locate and correct the mistake, and of course until we did the edging made no sense. Instead of being upset by this, we actually enjoyed the challenge. I suspect that some reviewers who mentioned "large sections of the edging were missing" had this same issue but may not have realized it right away. Be aware that pieces that seem to fit may not. Experienced puzzlers will understand my point about edging. Because the number of pieces that fit to an edge piece is 3, except for the corners (unlike most interior pieces, which fit to 4), the chance of wrongly fitting an edge piece to another edge piece is greater than for an interior piece. I suspect this happens more often with Ravensburger puzzles since the shape of each piece is "unique". Much more information about their production process is on their website, which you should also check out if you're considering this purchase.

A toughie, but rewarding to complete

I didn't count hours to complete this puzzle (my largest completion yet), but during COVID I've had it on my dining room table and worked a bit on it most days, and a bunch some days. It took me 11 weeks. I see some say they have finished it in 2 or 3 weeks. If you treat your puzzle like a job you may get it done in 2 weeks, but if you're balancing other things, expect this puzzle to be in your life for a few months. There is a lot of variegation in this puzzle and 40 to 60 subsections that themselves are their own world: it's very interesting to be shifting approach and focus on a week to week basis. Image sharpness on the pieces is very good. I agree with reviewers who disparage the packaging, and this stupid useless puzzle-piece icon and Ravensburger branding needlessly covering up significant parts of the puzzle image. I would have no hesitation about my next Ravensburger 3,000 piece puzzle pursuit (I have Antique Map queued up) but know more now about how better to approach it, and accommodate the few flaws (packaging, occasional bent/broken piece, I actually was missing a piece so completed a 2,999-piece puzzle that I can't verify if I can get that last piece for before I glue it) that may come along.

Top Quality Puzzle..

I ordered this for my daughter-in-law's birthday. She is a puzzle freak! She loves Ravensburger puzzles. as they are well made and snap easily together. She has never done one over 1500 pieces, So, I thought this would be a fun , challenging present, for her and my son to do together! They were both thrilled. They are a little pricey, however, you get what you pay for. They keep their puzzles and redo them again. I am going to suggest they sell them on Kijiji and buy some new ones! Came very fast. I paid extra to receive it in two days , as they were coming for Thanksgiving weekend and it was her birthday then as well. I see them about every three months. They live in Toronto and I am in London. Love Amazon.ca and .com.

Quite Excellent

I bought this for my wife about ten days ago, and I've hardly seen her since - the other reviewer said that it was addictive, and he's clearly not wrong. I reckon it's fair to say that my wife and I are both enjoying this jigsaw, albeit in totally different ways. Our dining room table is a mass of colour; it's beginning to take shape, and looking rather fine. The pieces fit well together and are of high quality, hence the 5 stars for durability - it's about as durable as a jigsaw's ever going to be. The educational value rating is a bit pointless I feel - this isn't a toy. All in all an excellent buy and at a very good price for such a large jigsaw (4ft by 2ft 8in).

didn't want it to end.....

Best puzzle I have ever done!!! Ravensburger puzzles are my favourite. The pieces are so colourful making it pleasing to the eye....the pieces are smooth so nice to the touch and each piece snaps nicely together leaving no doubt as to whether it is a proper fit or not. I had the puzzle set up on a large table in my sunroom and whenever anyone would come over for a visit we would sit around the table and work away. Many good conversations while working on the puzzle! Too fun! I thought it was challenging but doable. Final result? Beautiful. I didn't want it to end.......loved every moment of it.
