Cross & GloryJigsaw Puzzles 1000 Pieces - Blossoming Desert: Poolside Paradise - 1000 Piece Landscape Puzzles for Adults | Vibrant Colors | Desert Cactus Succulent | 20x27 Inches | Adult Challenge

I have done several Cross and Glory puzzles because I love their modern and colorful designs and their good quality. This was a fun puzzle for me. They are challenging primarily due to large expanses of the same color and they only have 2 sizes/shaped pieces. All the longer pieces go in one direction while the others go in the opposite direction. I find those tedious sections of a single solid color boring and sometimes frustrating. And I have a lot of patience. This puzzle did not have those large expanses of color so, for me, it was less frustrating while still challenging.ProsColorful designGood qualityVery little puzzle dustPieces hold together and you can move sections aroundIncludes a small photo. I prefer smaller pictures over the posters as they are unwieldy.Pieces are sturdy and have a matte finishI’ve never had missing pieces with a Cross and Glory puzzleI think the puzzle piece size is normal/standard. Finished size is 20” x 27”, which is fairly standard for 1000 pieces.ConsCan be expensiveVery small picture for those who prefer the larger posters (5” x 6.5”)The pieces all have 2 knobs with half taller and thinner and the others shorter.Small box. I put the puzzle in a zip lock bag and have t squeeze it into the box.

Nice clean cut puzzle pieces. Most puzzle pictures are brush painted art works and the brush strokes help determine where a piece goes within a large space with the same color... This puzzle is digitally generated and has no brush strokes and little color gradient. The puzzle has large areas of all the same color and without brush strokes it makes for a challenging assembly. A saving grace is that the pieces are all unique and cleanly cut out. Good quality puzzle.

I thought it was going to be harder than it actually was, but it wasn’t so easy that it was boring either, somewhere in the middle I guess. The colors are vibrant and a nice combination. My only draw back with Cross and Glory puzzles is when I put wrong pieces together, while trying to separate them, sometimes they get damaged. For this reason, when doing their puzzles I get my glue stick out. At least they’re fixable 😊

each piece feels solid and clicks into place with satisfying precision. The sturdy construction means no bent corners or flimsy edges, even after multiple uses. It’s the kind of quality that makes the whole experience smoother and more enjoyable.

Very pretty, quality pieces, but was difficult!
