VATOS Balloon Puzzle (World Impression)

Very disappointed with the quality of this item. Although many new jigsaw puzzles are now suppled in a small box it not ideal for emptying 1,000 pieces into for assembling the puzzle but what is most upsetting is the state of the individual pieces. Many of them are still joined together through not being cut properly and a large number have either torn backing pieces or bent tongues where they have been separated during manufacture. To make matters worse, the picture on the puzzle itself is extremely blurred.Having done many jigsaw puzzles before I would not recommend this puzzle to anyone.

Oh I was so disappointed. I'm an avid puzzler and have probably done 20 already this year. This is poor quality and I disliked it from the minute I opened the box. Imo, the pieces don't fit together well, there is loads of dust, the front is too shiny and the colours don't sufficiently match the box front picture. I persevered and equally hated taking it apart as it's now useless to share with my friends which I normally do as so many little bits came off the back and layers came apart, I'd be too embarrassed to pass it on though it'll do as a freebie to a charity shop I suppose.A complete waste of my money and I shan't be buying this brand again.

The media could not be loaded.  This Fire Balloon puzzle is great and was fun to assemble with all the beautiful colours that make up the balloons. My daughter and I put this together and we realised that on the back of the pieces were letters, so she was able to work on a single section/quarter of the puzzle to further help her while I did the rest, as each quarter was labelled either A, B, C or D. She was very pleased with this what with it being her first attempt at a puzzle of this size. I feel this allows you to challenge yourself also at different levels as you can choose to use the coding as a guide or just use the shapes and colours of the pieces.The quality of the pieces are superb and fit together perfectly. The puzzle is very sturdy and durable so if someone knocks it a bit like my toddler did on a couple of occasions, it’s not all over the place. The colours are bright and stimulating. A really relaxing puzzle to focus your mind on after a long day. As we completed each of the larger balloons we felt a real sense of accomplishment and enjoyed finding all the smaller ones then to go in between.I would highly recommend this to someone who finds puzzles relaxing, those who like to complete and display them and those also who are looking for a start off puzzle who are trying to increase the amount of pieces they use.

Our love of travel can't be quenched at the moment so we decided to utilise our time in lockdown with a jigsaw. This hot air balloon jigsaw was perfect for our wanderlust and the quality was great. We've had jigsaws before when the peices are flimsy and difficult to connect however these were great, plus it's bright & colourful. Even our young kids helped. Would definitely recommend for some family fun!

As it's made in China it may not be amazing quality but it's still very good. The pieces are well cut and it was complete. The poster is a nice edition as the picture on the box is smaller than your more traditional size 1,000 piece jigsaw box, but to be honest it's easier to store. The image is well printed, the pieces are slightly smoother and less matt finished than other jigsaws. Also the finished size was really big making it a really striking image when it was finished.

Before buying this puzzle I had read the reviews (poor quality and missing pieces were mentioned) and thought I would take a risk.The quality of the puzzle was ok, a few pieces had excess paper stuck to them, which was easily removed but all pieces fitted well together. The picture of the 1000 piece puzzle was not as clear as the one on the box and the colours were not quite the same. Though it was still fun to built this puzzle, it was most disappointing when I found 2 pieces of the puzzle to be missing. Instead I had 3 other pieces double. A real shame as I will now think twice before buying from this company again.

I have given this jigsaw two stars because it has very nice quality quality pieces that fit together well. However, as chose this because it had nice bright colours, I am extremely disappointed that the pieces are not true to the colour on the picture but, in most places, are quite different and much duller. This is a problem because I’m partially sighted. It is also a problem for my husband, who has perfect sight!

Really disappointing- so much so I sent it back for a refund ( very good!)The picture on the box was bright and vibrant- the pieces inside the box were dull and all very similar - almost impossible to make.
