DDTOP 1000 Piece Puzzle Aegean Sea Santorini Greece Premium Stained Art Wooden Adult Puzzle 30x20 Inch Format

We are missing at least two pieces.

All the pieces are almost identical in shape and size making it nigh unto impossible to get the blues in the sky in the correct place. The pieces are lettered on the back, grouping them in to quadrants. This is the only way that it’s do-able. I had to put them in to shading groups, turn them over and match the lettering stamped on the back, even then it wasn’t just right. It is frustrating rather than rewarding. The picture has a high gloss sheen making the lighting a challenge. All of the labeling on the box is written in Chinese. The box is designed for multiple puzzles with 12 small pics on the front of the box. There is a giant poster on the inside of the box to work from. It’s perforated at the quadrant divisions. I suppose this is how puzzles are done in China. It’s not what I was expecting.

I would not buy this again. Product very poorly made. Pieces have parts that flake or peel off. Pieces fit in multiple spots making it difficult to know if a single colored piece ( like blue water) is positioned correctly without looking at the “ cheat” marks on the back of each piece. ( puzzle has letters on back). Then if positioned incorrectly, pulling the piece back out has damaged a piece on multiple occasions.

As I was sorting the pieces, I came upon a broken one. Even before that I wasn’t pleased with puzzle- pieces feel cheap and there is puzzle dust everywhere.Found out I’m missing at least 2 edge pieces too!DO NOT PURCHASE!!

Every piece is the same.
