Elena Essex Jigsaw Puzzles - Radiant Jungle | Puzzle 1000 Pieces | Puzzles for Adults | Animal Bird Rainbow Gradient Puzzle | Adult Puzzles Size 28x20 inches

Elena Essex has done it again! Making a perfect puzzle with wonderful vibrant colors. An image filled with little details and varied textures that make each piece it's own slice of joy. Piece fit is super, and very minimal puzzle dust. You cannot go wrong with this, or any other Elena Essex puzzle.

Loved doing this puzzle. It was pretty and just hard enough to make it challenging. But --- there were two pieces missing from a brand new sealed box purchased from Amazon. I contacted the seller and they quickly sent me the two missing pieces. Their customer service, should you ever need them, is excellent! I highly recommend the fun you will have working on this beautiful puzzle.

I am an avid puzzler, with specific tastes. My preference is 1000-piece puzzles, 500 if I just want to fritter away a couple of hours or if I’m on a time crunch. Design/Art: fantastic. I love the ocean theme and the colors are super appealing to my eye. I was a little worried that the colors would be duller than I expected but they were not. It was perfect. I actually dreamed about the puzzle the night I finished it. XD Difficulty: I would say this one is a bit on the challenging side but not to the point of frustration. If you are a puzzler and complete puzzles often, this should scratch the itch but not send you over the edge. If you are newer to puzzling or do not have much patience or a system of approach, I would probably select one of Essex’s less complex designs to start with. For me, this was the perfect level of difficulty. I completed this puzzle alone over the course of three or four evenings after work. Physical Quality: none of the pieces were torn, crunched or bent. All of the pieces were cleanly and entirely separated/cut. No pieces were missing. The pieces interlocked perfectly and were solid once placed. There was next to no puzzle dust when I opened the package. The finish of the puzzle is great—more on the matte side and not shiny, which is always a plus, particularly with a puzzle that is somewhat challenging. I do recommend having decent natural light though because it can be difficult to see the portions of the puzzle that are solid black and even bright indoor lighting was not ideal. The box is also very sturdy/durable. There is a large poster of the picture inside as well. I typically do not reference the boxes or posters of puzzles I’m working on or do so minimally. In this case I did use it a couple of times and was glad to have it. :) The bottom line: this is the first Elena Essex puzzle I have purchased and it will definitely not be the last. After looking at the other designs available, I am going to be purchasing many more, as long as my budget can take it. I highly recommend this puzzle to avid puzzlers or casual puzzlers who want a challenge. Note: sorry the photos are not great but I assembled this puzzle at someone else’s home and the lighting was not ideal.

I've been on a puzzle spree. In my childhood, I had a cork-backed puzzle that had the most satisfying fitting pieces. For some reason, no modern companies seem to do cork backs, so I've been buying one puzzle from every major brand to see how the modern cardboard puzzles hold up. Clementoni - thick pieces but quite a few had peeling backs or split edges. A lot of stuck together pieces, like the die was dull. Fairly crumbly/loose-fitting--cannot pick up sections and move them easily. Ravensburger - thick pieces, good quality. VERY crumbly/loose-fitting--cannot pick up sections and move them at all. Masterpieces - almost too tight of fit, not easy to disassemble Buffalo - too shiny, much glare. Good fit, but quite a few split edges/peeling. Cobble Hill - I don't remember specifics, to be honest, but I do remember enjoying it. And finally, this Elena Essex puzzle. The pieces aren't super think like Ravensburger or Clementoni, but they are thick enough. They have a nice matte finish so glare won't get in your way. The cut was perfect. I didn't have any pieces not fully cut. The fit was also perfect. Which is to say, just tight enough to transfer groups of assembled pieces, but just loose enough to make taking it apart pretty easy. So functionality-wise, this is the best puzzle so far. And I love super bright puzzles, so the image was perfect. The color gradient with the black background is just stunning. I will definitely be looking for Elena Essex puzzles again.

Beautiful puzzel, no glare, pieces snap to. the snake was great to assemble!

This puzzle is pretty good quality, the pieces are smooth, and it fits together pretty well. The colors are bright like in the picture, and the artwork is great. I especially like the little hidden details that you only find when you look hard, like fish and crabs peaking out. The only small issue is the pieces scratch easily because of the type of finish. I would be likely to buy more puzzles from this seller.

Bright color and mildly difficult.

I adore this puzzle! I've had my eye on it for a couple of months and finally purchased it, and I'm so glad I did. The picture and the colors are beautiful. The quality of the material is impressive, very sturdy and easy to piece together. Also, none of the pieces came stuck together (which is rare) so I didn't have to worry about tearing any pieces trying to separate them. Plus the note in the box from the seller was a cute touch and made the item feel more personalized. 10/10, I'm already buying my next one!

Belles couleurs, bonne qualité, pas vraiment difficile.

Ich war wirklich positiv überrascht von der Qualität des Puzzles! Kein einziges Teil hing an einem Anderen, alle waren sauber ausgestanzt. Vollständig ist es auch. Das Motiv ist super schön und macht Spaß. Hin und wieder gibt es ähnliche Teile die auch noch ähnlich gut passen, aber das macht es meiner Meinung nach umso spannender und macht mehr Spaß. Die Form der Puzzleteile ist auch abwechslungsreicher als bei den meisten anderen Puzzlen. Ich hatte viel Spaß und kann es jedem weiter empfehlen. Schwierigkeitsgrad empfinde ich als leicht-Mittel. Ich habe ungefähr 5 Stunden dran gesessen, die ich aber voll genossen habe. ☺️ Einzig das Teil auf dem Foto hat eine leichte Macke und die Ecke steht ein bisschen ab.

Excelente producto, de buena calidad, lo recomiendo.

Il puzzle è bellissimo, la fattura è ottima, i pezzi sono robusti, spessi, non ci sono incastri sbagliati. Mi sono divertita moltissimo a farlo, alla fine è un puzzle abbastanza facile visto tutti i dettagli e colori che ci sono. Comunque è bellissimo studiare ogni centimetro e scovare tutti gli animaletti. Io l'ho comprato in coppia con l'altro puzzle della vita marina e insieme stanno benissimo! Questo puzzle entra perfettamente nella cornice Fiksbo dell'ikea, l'altro puzzle invece purtroppo è leggermente più grande e quindi ho dovuto tagliare qualche millimetro altrimenti non sarebbe entrato (motivo per cui a quello non do 5 stelle, ma a questo sì!)

Wowwee this puzzle was awesome. I'm obsessed with the vibrant colours and oh my all the gorgeous animals and plants. I loved piecing this puzzle together. The raimbow brightly coloured animals and plantsnon the black background is so so gorgeous. The colours pop and the image is so mesmerising. If you haven't tried Sb Elena Essex puzzle you are truly missing out with beautiful thick satin pieces, limited glare, pieces that fit snuggly together. And the box is spectacular featuring the puzzle image, it's a work of art. I love Elena's gorgeous animals snd this puzzle features so many! I'm not a fan of snakes but Elena has created a snake that I wanted to puzzle. I love all of Elena's puzzles and have an amazing collection and can't wait to add more to my collection. If you love pretty vibrant colours, puzzles with animals and plants this puzzle is perfect for you 😍
