Ravensburger The Craft Cupboard Puzzle 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle for Adults – Every piece is unique, Softclick technology Means Pieces Fit Together Perfectly

A wonderful time sucker for bad weather days. I love Ravensburger puzzles. Never a problem with missing pieces and pieces are unique sizes that only fit one way. Tough enough to make mistakes and pieces come apart without bending. Love all the cupboard series.

Fun fun fun. When I first saw the picture, I think it is a difficult one. But I finished it in one day. It is addicting and funny. Final product is real beauty. Love it.

This puzzle is so well made, and I loved working on it. Its sturdy and thick pieces make it a work of art. Ravensburger never fails. I am presently having it framed to hang in my craft room. I just like looking at it.

I, too, love it when a poster of the puzzle is included in the box. In this puzzle, issued in 2014, is it, but it is small because the artists bio is included, and that steals horizontal space from the picture. I discovered that you can search for the puzzles(s) on the Ravensburger website and download a larger color landscape poster, about 8.5x11. This option is only helpful for those with a color printer unfortunately. I also hate it when Ravensburger teases us by obscuring the picture on the box cover with little Ravensburger doo-dads. But I got used to it. There are some miniscule pictures of the puzzle along the side edges of the box that reveal the missing bits. That all said, Ravensburger is an outstanding puzzle publisher. The color reproduction is hi-rez, the subject matter is interesting, the tiles are quality material and slip together smoothly, and there are always degrees of challenge. That being said (again) I avoid the Ravensburger puzzles from Target that come in an 8-inch by 8-inch square box. Ravensburger tells me that they have an exclusiver arrangement with Target that permits Target to sell these puzzle versions. The quality of the reproduced illustration seems pooer (to me), and made working this Target version frustrating. But--the Target versions, when available, seem to be half the cost.

Awesome Puzzles

I love any Colin Thompson puzzle, and this one was particularly fun to do! We put the puzzle together without looking at the picture and were absolutely delighted with the finished picture. We left it together for a couple of weeks just to be sure that we had seen everything in the puzzle. We have completed 11 other puzzles with Colin Thompsons art work, and this one is one of our favorites. And Ravensburger puzzles are always a high quality product.

Prior to COVID, my spouse and I loved doing puzzles. We did so many we discovered our love of the Ravenburger brand puzzles. The quality and attention to detail is incredible. The only downside was after COVID, the puzzles doubled in price, but I understand there was a new market for them as people were stuck at home. The prices seem to have leveled out now. But of all brands we still favor the Ravenburger for their details and bright colors. If you haven’t tried one please do. They are by far the best.

I finished this beautiful puzzle in two days, discovering on day one that I had at least one piece missing. I contacted Ravensburger directly via their website and received a response in about 24 hours. They do stand behind their products and have offered me a replacement puzzle, either same or another one of my choice. They do not replace individual pieces. Drawback: if I choose to receive another copy of this same puzzle, there is only a 50/50 chance that it will be cut in the same configuration.
