MaxRenard Game 1000 Pieces Jigsaw Puzzle for Adult Fine Art Collection Toy The Great Wave Off Kanagawa Puzzle

I got this puzzle because I love this particular picture and I like puzzles. This one is a little challenging because there are a lot of the same colors throughout the entire picture - blues and greys. The pieces go together easily and the colors are sharp and in focus. We haven't finished it yet but we are getting there.Note: the box doesn't have the complete picture on the front but there is a paper included that shows the whole thing.This review is for MaxRenard Game 1000 Pieces Jigsaw Puzzle for Adult Fine Art Collection Toy The Great Wave Off Kanagawa Puzzle

I'm not sure why I decided to get this puzzle. I think I had a mental lapse of reality thinking it would be easy to do. I know I love ocean waves, but let's be realistic..... There aren't that many differentiations in color so it's not easy to do. In fact I personally think it's quite hard. The quality of the pieces and the picture are great. So, as long as you are up for a challenge, this one is for you!

I ordered this seemingly gorgeous item, with the intended purpose to gift it within our family, for its beautiful, famous Japanese art, including the wave on the box cover. Unfortunately the box came in an APPALLING, damaged condition -- it was ruined. What a shame. This item should've been packaged appropriately to respect the value of its contents.The puzzle itself is fine. It's nice, too, to have the 'hints' on the back for children to get a head start.So, I recommend it if you don't care about a potentially damaged box.That said, I wish I could recommend this puzzle for gifting or one's own pleasure that includes its container... and would've been happy to recommend, had its box -- which is a perk of the product -- not been ridiculously damaged.I write honest reviews to help others make informed purchases. Since I rely on reviews, too, I appreciate how helpful they can be in my purchasing decisions. Hope my review has helped you.

The MaxRenard Game Jigsaw Puzzle of The Great Wave is well printed and made of sturdy paper board. The pieces are well cut, though some are cut close enough to the edge that there are very thin segments which make those pieces delicate.The back is separated into color stripes, which assist in sorting the pieces into regions, which can help as the repetitive patterns make this a fairly difficult puzzle. Overall it is a good value and the picture is one of my favorites.

This is a satisfying and challenging puzzle. It looks a little intimidating at first but there are a lot of visual clues -- in subtle coloring and in textures -- that makes it pleasing to do.The quality of the pieces is also quite good. Wrong pieces may almost fit together but there will be a difference in the sizes that make clear the mistake.No need for a hammer here.

My wife and I were looking for a good puzzle to do over the winter and I have always loved this beautiful paintint, the great wave off Kanagawa. This is a very nice, challenging but enjoyable puzzle. The patters an colors make for some difficult but not maddening work.One thing I noticed right away was the packaging is really nice. Puzzles often have pretty generic packaging but this puzzle box looks premium and thus I feel like this would be a good gift to give someone.All these pieces of are cut clean and crisply, the image is well printed. Zero complaints.

A fun puzzle of a great piece of art. Challenging enough with the size and shapes. No missing pieces for us. Picture quality on the actual puzzle matched well to the box. A good value for the money.

The motion of large waves and small boats tossing about contrasts with the stately and stable Mt. Fuji in the background. The warm brown of the boats contrasts nicely with the cool greys and blues of the water and land. I’ve seen this artwork before and loved it so building the puzzle was enjoyable.The puzzle pieces have the typical jigsaw shapes, with a little more variation than some puzzles; you can be certain of placement. The cardboard is thin yet sturdy enough for multiple builds; however, we had a couple pieces that were not cut through and the paper tore plus one with a bent tip (we just fix them with a little glue). Otherwise the picture was well-adhered on both front and back. Yes, this puzzle has 6 colored sections on the back. I ignore it but my wife hates it – it’s supposed to be a challenging puzzle. The pieces to the finished puzzle all connect well but while building it they didn’t really click together smoothly.The puzzle includes a decent sized poster to help with the build, and is important since the image on the box is cropped. The artwork is wonderful, the puzzle is average.
