Cross & Glory - Whimsical Castle Wonderland - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle for Adults & Kids 12+ | Enchanting Art of Ancient Castle | Family-Friendly Adventure | 20x27 Inches | Satin Finish

I am a puzzle enthusiast lately and have to say have been pleasantly surprised to find Cross & Glory. They are now our go to brand for puzzles. Great selection and quality.PROS:Easy puzzles. The challenge is the kind you want - finding pieces based on picture alignment. All pieces are standard puzzle pieces with two ends male and the other two female. No spades or odd shapes (could be a plus or minus for some). The pieces are clean and crisp. Relatively no dust. The colors superb. No issues with missing pieces - we have about ten of these puzzles by this company and all have been perfect. Good variety in puzzle pictures and the size fits well on our puzzle table. Boxes are small and uniform for easy storage. Pieces fit perfectly into one another and images are sharp so you know when things are aligned well. No problems with putting the wrong piece by accident. Lastly, we have very little glare on these puzzles compared to other brands which is wonderful! They aren't glare free but glare is minimal. Also for those that want to keep the puzzle and frame it, you can literally fold the built puzzle and it stays together making transfer easy.CONSThe "poster" is really quite small compared to puzzle size. Not a huge deal breaker but it offers very little that the box doesn't already provide for you as far as a guide. I tend to use the poster/box more for these puzzles because the pieces are all standard shape and sometimes I need to find where the piece fits in the image to help me know where to place it. With that said, there is not much variety in pieces. If you like spades or odd shapes to help you with placement, this puzzle might not be for you. Lastly, breaking the puzzle down to put back in the box takes longer than other brands because the pieces fit so well together and 'lock in'. Not a big deal for us hence no star deductions, but something to know.Wish list to make this excellent product even better?!:A resealable bag to hold puzzle pieces for storage inside the box would be amazing. Currently, I put ours in a gallon ziplock bag for 1,000 pieces. It isn't the best fit (too much bag for product) but quart sized would be too small or puff up too round to fit back in the box. Also, we finish these in about three days with sporadic dedicated time so more variety in larger puzzle sizes (2,000 pieces please) would be a dream.

Vibrant colors and excellent piece fit! A little hard to disassemble because they fit so snug. Great brand!!

Love it. Challenging puzzle but not too difficult. The colors are vibrant. One of my favorite puzzle companies.

Challenging

Lovely puzzle but spoilt by the fact that the puzzle box arrived damaged due to insufficient packaging. Otherwise the puzzle itself was a joy to complete with all the amazing colours and well fitting pieces. I would describe it as being of medium difficulty and fun to do.

A fun workout for my old brain.

This puzzle art and quality is beautiful. I was able to move sections around without difficulty. I will say it was more challenging than I expected but it wasn't difficult to the point of frustration. I would recommend the brand.

This is a really great puzzle! The pieces are sturdy and stay together once connected. There aren't any weird shaped pieces and the colors are bright and the finished puzzles picture is absolutely beautiful. I have posted a picture of the completed puzzle along with my review so you can see for yourself.This puzzle brand always has high quality puzzles and this one didn't disappoint. This puzzle was just the right amount of difficulty. Challenging but Never frustrating.It kept me totally immersed in it from start to end. I recommend this puzzle for anyone who enjoys jigsaw puzzles and it would make a great gift!
