Puzzle So Hard 1000 Piece Puzzle - Totem Mural Puzzle

Pixelation. What is it? Your computer images are created with pixel squares of colors. When someone resizes a small to picture to make it larger, it can cause pixelation (or those big chunks of unattractive squares, blurred images, and grainy look that's distinctively "computer." When someone tried to transfer this gorgeous artwork to puzzle form, they were obviously not working with a high enough resolution - because this puzzle image is pixelated.We were able to put it together anyways, but it was difficult. The blurry image meant tons and tons of blurry colored pieces. It felt like looking at the tv when you're not wearing your prescription glasses. Just a mess of vague shapes. Thankfully when the puzzle was completed, the image was quite beautiful. From a distance, you can't tell it's pixelated, but when you get closer you see there are no sharp lines or edges, everything has a fuzzy halo around it, a softness to definition.I find graphic design errors like this inexcusable. The puzzle company should have asked the artist for a higher resolution image to work with. This is an easy fix. Why would anyone greenlight such a messy design for production? It's like publishing a book with a spelling error in the cover title - there's no way everyone didn't notice it. But instead of fixing it, they just shrugged and threw it into mass market production.Extremely disappointed. I'll be wary of this company from now on.

BUYER BEWARE! Yes, this comes in a beautiful box that can go on your bookshelf, and yes, the pieces are really sturdy and a nice size. But the quality of the reproduction of the picture on the cover to the puzzles itself is so poor that the pieces are blurry. I lost interest as soon as I had the border put together. I am contacting the seller for a refund because I am so disappointed.

If I could give zero stars, I would. We were really excited to start this puzzle but the artwork on the box is not the same quality as the puzzle itself. The puzzle has poor resolution and the image is blurry as if the maker did not invest in a higher resolution image to enlarge into puzzle form. I would stay away from this product!

Like the other reviewers, I agree that the pieces are so blurry it's impossible to enjoyably work on this puzzle. It was obviously a small picture that was blown up and printed and made into a puzzle. However, the resolution is terrible and ours was printed crookedly. I don't mind a challenging puzzle, but this doesn't even fall into that category. It is just terrible quality and cheaply made. From now on, I will only buy quality, USA made puzzles from companies such as Ravensburger and Springbok. The puzzles from "Puzzles So Hard" belong in the garbage. Their ridiculous name should have been a tip off.

Looked like it was going to be a wonderful puzzle but I packed it up shortly after starting. Picture is slightly fuzzy, pieces don't fit together securely. Too bad because the colors are great.

We loved building this puzzle!! 1000 pieces, so many colors! It was definitely a challenging puzzle to build, but the end result was worth it!!Puzzle So Hard was a great vendor - quick to send, quick to respond and their products are a good quality! We will buy more!

Very hard puzzle! Family chose not to attempt it! But friends did!

Great puzzle! Good quality and the design is just beautiful!!!!!!!!
