Galison Painted Desert Puzzle, 500 Pieces, 20” x 20” – Jigsaw Puzzle Featuring Colorful and Lively Photographs from The Desert – Thick, Sturdy Pieces, Challenging Family Activity, Great Gift Idea

The puzzle quality is excellent, as all Gallison are! I found this to be one of my most challenging 500 piece puzzles. It took longer to complete than others, mostly because the pictures are small and the “poster” is smaller than the box top. Overall, a fun and beautiful puzzle.

I've started getting back into puzzles, thanks to being home alone a lot lately. Of the 5 I had, this was the one I was expecting to like least, but actually enjoyed quite a bit. The edge pieces were easy to figure out, and the picture was prettier than I thought from looking at it online. The only real "complaint" I have is that the poster that's included is *smaller* than the box top. So it wasn't as helpful as I was hoping. And my eyes (even with glasses on!) could barely read the words on the poster. But I'll be holding on to this one for a while.

I live in Phoenix so I love the southwest theme of this puzzle. If you know a lot of native desert plants it's fun to identify them on here. This is a pretty easy puzzle because of the words and different plant types that are easy to identify and place. It only took us about a day to finish. Would be great for puzzle beginners or kids. This would be a good one to frame and put up on display too.

I am a puzzle snob. I only want 500 pieces (just enough work but not too much) and I am really picky about the puzzles I buy. Galison's puzzles are always perfect. Some are more challenging than others but they are always sturdy and great quality. They also have a print of the artwork included in the box, so you don't have to rely solely on the cover as reference. (Hello, extra tray for pieces.) I order directly from their website and also from Amazon depending on availability. Highly recommend all of Galison's products.

I took this to work and had it beside my desk... it was a great companion tu have mid work day to alleviate the work stress! Just difficult enough to make you feel like you accomplished something! 😅😇🙏🏻

Enjoyable puzzle to work

So fun - wish they had more with this style. I only like to do pretty puzzles : )

Beautiful picture, just challenging enough, fits together well, good quality
