1000 Pieces Jigsaw Puzzles for Adults and Kids- Oil Painting Almond Blossoms by Van Gogh- Adults Art Jigsaw Puzzles Van Gogh 1000 Pieces

UPDATE - I contacted Panpride, the seller, and they very quickly sent me another puzzle free of charge. I sorted through the puzzles (labeled sections made this tolerable) and quickly installed my missing pieces. Now ready for framing! Increasing to 4 stars - it was still inconvenient.***THREE PIECES MISSING! I was so excited about this one - I had planned to frame it (which I never do). The pieces are well cut and fit snugly, and the quality of the print is excellent. Comes with a full size poster. Pieces are coded into 6 segments - which is probably the only thing that made this do-able! Very disappointed to have invested so much time into this puzzle for nothing.

The picture is beautiful. The pieces are numbered in the back, splitting the puzzle to 6 areas, so it's easier to do compared to other 1000 pieces puzzles. My main complaint is about the cardboard used on the back of the pieces - it is of low quality. Some of the pieces came where the front and the back were disconnected and I had to glue them together. If two pieces got stuck together taking them apart meant more pieces to glue later, as they fell apart.

I was really looking forward to building this puzzle as it is extremely beautiful and is a depiction of Van Gogh's artwork. Within minutes of sorting through the pieces, I came across a few that were defective, as shown in the picture. They seem to be just the cardboard backing with no printed image on the front. The actual rear side of the pieces are white with alphabetical letters printed across them. This is very disappointing as this has never happened to any of the dozen jigsaw puzzles that I've built. It ruined my experience with this work of art before I was even able to start piecing it together.
