Almost good enough to eat! Well constructed and colorful. Very happy with this puzzle.

This isn't my first Springbok puzzle, and it most definitely won't be my last! Their puzzles are high quality and 100 percent made in the USA! Excellent! I get to help support US jobs and have fun doing it!I love jigsaw puzzles, especially landscape ones, so I wondered if I'd get bored working on this particular puzzle. However, I thoroughly enjoyed working on this Springbok's 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle, Sweets! It was fun, challenging and definitely not boring!The puzzle pieces were packed inside a plastic bag inside the box and the box was also wrapped in plastic. There isn't a poster of the finished puzzle so you will definitely want to keep the box lid available to consult the image as you work!Here are my thoughts and observations:Made in the USA! 100 percent! Perfect!I appreciate the use of recycled materials and non-toxic inks.Minimal puzzle dust!Precisely cit pieces.No missing pieces! (I've never experienced missing pieces with any Springbok puzzle!)No bent, broken, or peeling pieces!All pieces are consistent in thickness.Pieces are thick and sturdy, each with a unique shape! Love that!Various shapes and sizes help make this 1000-piece puzzle even more interesting and challenging! I love it!Also, what appears to be an edge piece may not be! But this adds to the fun, and makes it more challenging! Just consult the image on the box cover, and keep a "maybe, maybe not" pile of questionable pieces or if you are in doubt. But don't give up! You can do it! 😉👍🏻 The edge pieces end up making a nice straight line and it's quite satisfying to see how the unique pieces fit together!In summary, I really enjoyed this "Sweet" puzzle and will definitely continue to purchase Springbok quality puzzles! I've never had an issue with missing pieces. Springbok puzzles are made in the USA, they are sturdy, the pieces have interesting shapes, and the puzzles are both fun and challenging! Perfect!Springbok puzzles make wonderful gifts!5 stars and recommended!

I'm a fairly new puzzle doer, like so many people who got started with the hobby during the pandemic. This is my first time trying a Springbok puzzle, although the brand was very familiar to me---it comes to mind when I hear "puzzle"!The puzzle was HARD! I'm using to puzzles where the edge pieces are very easy to find, where the pieces all follow a pretty standard pattern, and so on. These are much more advanced pieces, more shapes and some pieces that trick you into thinking they are edge pieces! I got a bit frustrated here and there, and the aqua background on each section and the kind of muted coloring made it harder. However, once I was done, and it took a while, I could tell this was a higher quality puzzle than I was used to. It stayed together when you moved it around, and it just looked so nice! The dessert theme is a lot of fun!I'd say---don't get this for very beginner puzzle doers, but if you have puzzlers that like a bit more of a challenge, this is a great puzzle to get!

The puzzle is way too hard for the recipient. I tried to set it. The pieces kept coming undone. I tried to return it prior to the 30 day return policy ended but couldn't find a way to do it. Now I'm beyond the 30 days and don't know what to do

In our household, the pandemic brought jigsaw puzzles back into vogue. Now we always have a "puzzle table" set up in the TV room and anytime something mindless is on the tv, various household members find themselves assembling a puzzle. Accordingly, we've become pretty good at identifying what you do and don't want in a puzzle. This puzzle checks all the boxes and this has become a brand we will seek in the future.This puzzle checks all the boxes:- Needs to be an "interesting" picture. Check. There's enough unique patterns with all the featured sweets to get to look for where a particular piece goes. There's also a ton of background blue (in a couple of different shades) to make it less than obvious. This strikes the right balance between pieces that could go anywhere and those that you could hunt the image for the location.- Needs to be appropriately complex - 1000 pieces is usually a good target- Needs to be durable. These are quality pieces. I hate thin ones that are prone to bending or breaking- Needs to have unique shapes. Check. This doesn't have that problem where you can make two pieces go together even if it's not the right connection.- Needs to not be missing pieces. We haven't finished yet, so I'll trust them on this. However, the little things they do show a level of attention to detail that have me not worried about this. For example, the box is shrink wrapped and inside the box the pieces are in a bag. Also, the box is durable and even has printing (tips and marketing) on the inside.We'll definitely seek out this brand in the future.
