Well made puzzle of a beautiful town

Beautiful puzzle and the puzzle was well made. Cinque Terre is beautiful and the image used for this puzzle reflects that. A couple weeks after finishing it, we picked up a cheaper puzzle (made by Eurographics) at the grocery store and there is a noticeable difference in the build quality, the pieces in the one we just bought don't fit together well and feel light and cheap, a stark contrast to the quality pieces of this puzzle. Will make sure the next one we buy is from Buffalo Games or another quality company. I had no idea there was that much of a difference between cheap puzzles and better made ones but it's definitely not worth saving a few bucks.

Awesome puzzle!!

This is a great puzzle! I thought it was going to be hard because the ocean was similar colors but it actually was not that difficult! There was enough variety that made it semi-easy to put together. This took me about a week and am very impressed with the colors of it. I put this together for my sister for Christmas and she hasn’t seen it yet but I’m sure she will love it too! As always, Buffalo game puzzles are great quality for the price! I recommend this puzzle and this brand I anyone who loves to do puzzles! There have been many people who say that there were damaged pieces, however that was not my experience. All of my pieces fit together well and made a beautiful finished product.

Top-notch jigaw puzzle!

AMAZING puzzle. Extremely good quality construction and feel, crisp interaction between pieces, beautiful color reproduction and detail. It's harder than expected too; some of the pieces have VERY subtle differences, so be prepared to stop and recheck your previous work when you find a piece that just won't fit, because it probably belongs where you placed another piece already and didn't notice it not fitting together exactly right. This is the best puzzle I've worked in a long time. I will ABSOLUTELY buy more Buffalo puzzles after doing this one. I couldn't recommend this one more highly.

Great puzzle--colors, the way the pieces fit together, etc.

I bought the 2000 piece version of this puzzle previously and found it a bit overwhelming given the size of the pieces and the size of the finished product (nearly 40" wide). I thought I would try the 1000 piece version as I have built several other puzzles with this number of pieces. Buffalo makes fine pieces in both cases and they are roughly the same size with the 2000 and 1000 versions (the 1000 piece version is much smaller, about 26 inches wide, when finished). You clearly know if you have the right piece or not 99% of the time. The same cannot be said of other manufacturers. I found the 1000 piece version more to my liking as I was able to complete it more quickly. Very brilliant colors in this particular puzzle and clearly the best of about seven different puzzles of the same town in Italy that are for sale. They increased the color intensity and saturation to get the almost-unreal colors for this version, but I like it and it looks great when done.

Fun and challenging puzzle

This is a real review! I believe I've spotted some one star duplicates on other buffalo products and wanted to let everyone know that not true in my case. No missing pieces, no bent or damaged pieces. This was my first undertaking of any puzzle and although 1000 pieces seemed like a lot at first it was a fun and challenging puzzle. There were a few pieces that fit together too easy in places they didn't belong but that was part of the challenge. I'm ordering another from them for sure.

Frustrating at first, but end result is worth it!!

I’ve never done a 1000 piece puzzle before, and this was my first. Let me tell you right now, this puzzle took about 4 months of off and on piece placing, and at times, there were even pieces that fit where they shouldn’t, but i think that’s the beauty of it. Every piece has its place, and if you line the edges up with each other, you will see where pieces actually should go. Extremely impressive to the eye when finished, and makes great wall art, and a topic of conversation!! Proud to say that the months of initial frustration turned to supreme satisfaction once the piece placing started to click for me, and i finished it within a week after it did! Get through the initial hurdle of the puzzle and it will be worth the trouble, trust me :)

Loved it!

This is a beautiful puzzle and well made. No puzzle dust in the box, and no missing pieces. You can tell by looking at the picture that it will be a challenging puzzle, which is why I purchased it. Why would you buy a puzzle you can finish in one sitting. The puzzle poster included was a real plus. I will admit a few pieces were a bit damaged, but that's not unusual. I found that it was pretty easy to tell if you had the wrong piece. It would be just a little off. That's part of the fun.

Colorful and fun

This puzzle is of medium difficulty, largely due to two things. One is the vibrant and varied colors, and the other is the sharpness of the photo. It's HD and sharp from foreground to infinity. I did have a bit of a challenge with the sky after I got the skyline and sunset done, but when I finished the rest of the puzzle, I turned it around so the sky was next to me, and finished it quickly. The pieces are the standard bump-hole, with 1 to 4 bumps or holes each, and an occasional piece with a wavy side. They're obviously similar, but distinctive enough most of the time, though occasionally I would put the wrong one, and it seemed to work, until I tried putting pieces next to it. Sometimes this had to be corrected. I loved this puzzle for the vibrant colors, and the little details on the porches like lawn chairs. It was great fun to do, with very little frustration. I'm giving most of my puzzle collection away, but I will keep this one. And it is always great to be able to "travel" to interesting places I can't afford to visit in person.

it is a beautiful high quality puzzle

While it is an intricate puzzle and takes a bit of time to complete, it is a beautiful high quality puzzle. I see many reviews that state "pieces fit in the wrong places". This is semi true... yes, pieces will often seem to fit well in more than one place, but there really is a way to double check if the placement is correct. Each horizontal and vertical cut of the puzzle is a continuous line from top to bottom and left to right. The edges of Each piece flow fluidly with its contiguous pieces. Pieces that are not perfect matches in height or width of the piece it attaches to is incorrectly placed. I hope that makes sense.

Attractive Design and Good Cut

This was a very attactive picture and, since I had been here before, very nostasgic. The actual design is closer to a detailed painting than a photograph, but the Mediterranean really is as beautiful as this puzzle depicts. There was some minor separating of the edges of the pieces and one clear wrinkle, but let's be honest, you'll always get this as you sort pieces out and drop them in your couch only to sit on them later, accidentally. Then after accusing your significant other of hiding the last piece again so they get to 'finish' the puzzle themselves, you will eventually find that last piece, apologize profusely, and be able to stand back and admire the scenery. Enjoy!
