White Mountain Puzzles Pencil Collage - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

As soon as I saw this online, I smiled. It was a challenging puzzle but oh-so much fun to do . Try it !!

Got my husband this puzzle for Christmas, took him about a month to do, but, he said it was fun.

This puzzle is a lot of fun, albeit challenging. If you are up for a challenge and have some time on your hands this is a great one to do with family or friends.

We gave this puzzle to our daughter for xmas. She took 10 days to complete and said that the challenge was great.

Product nicely package and item is is in a sturdy box - quick shipping- reasonably priced- Seller is an asset to Amazon- Highly recommend.

This is great for those who want a challenge! All pieces were there. Received it 3 or 4 yrs ago and loved putting it together then. Gave away but ordered again because I wanted & knew it would be difficult and fun.

Fun puzzle. Not as difficult as expected but somewhat challenging. Good color. Traditional cut pieces that go together easily and dismantle without problems. Well-defined, there were only a couple that made me question if they fit. White Mountain seems to make good quality puzzles.

We had fun putting this one together. The different pencil colors, designs and quirky logos were fun. There are quite a few duplicates mixed in so its not super simple.

Great family puzzle. Pieces are not as thick as a Ravensberger puzzle but they are adequate...took the puzzle apart without any pieces breaking or bending. Pencils are actual size.

Short backstory: Im getting back into jigsaw puzzles after a long time away. This is the first White Mountain puzzle Ive tried. I dont want to make generalities until I try another, but I may be hesitant before the next purchase. First, the good: - Its an attractive puzzle with great finished looking value - The pieces all come in a plastic bag, so theres no oopsie opening the box - Many of the pieces are delightfully odd-fitting, making the actual puzzle more challenging than it first appears - The puzzle box stand is a cute idea. At least for the border. Now, the not so happy: - Way too many machining errors. I had a lot (and I mean a LOT) of pieces that had to be torn apart, versus just separated - To that point, also way too many pieces stuck together, rather than fully separate - The torn apart pieces left flaps of material that then needed to be ripped off before the piece would fit together (try getting into those tiny puzzle piece gaps to grab that flap of paper) - The puzzle box stand is a nice idea, but becomes mostly useless when you need to do detail work on the puzzle and have to bring the box cover in close. - Tons of puzzle dust. Maybe Ive been spoiled by Buffalo Games puzzles, but this was an awful lot of dust The puzzle was fun and a little more challenging than I expected. As I always do in my puzzle reviews, I like to offer up my puzzle strategy (I always like seeing how others tackle their puzzle solving). For this one, I decided to work all the white pencils first. This turned out to be fortuitous, as most all of the white pencils were right side up. A good puzzle, but for me, that constant stopping and trimming was excruciating. Hopefully, thats not a White Mountain constant and I was just unlucky.
