Mini 1000 Pieces Cherry Blossoms Puzzle Smallest Difficult Painting Cherry Blossoms Challenge Puzzle 1000 Piece for Adult Gift (Size 42.5X 30cm)

I really wanted to do this puzzle without sorting the pieces into the 6 different printed sections on the back but I must admit that the lack of distinctions between the pieces made this puzzle very difficult. This is not my first mini puzzle but this one had very little variety on the cuts. In addition, many of the cuts were not locking together firmly; my borders kept coming apart.The back has 6 sections printed with circles, hearts and stars in alternatively colored white or blue background.The hearts and stars pieces have an up and down that help with orienting the pieces correctly but the circles don't help with orientation. I kept double checking if 2 pieces fitted together by checking the printed patterns on the back.The puzzle comes with a full size poster. One could put the poster under a piece of glass and build the puzzle on top using the "cheat sheet".The puzzle actually fits together very well once finished even if so many pieces could fit in so many places.I had to separate a lot of the pieces before starting but did not suffer from many damaged pieces.For reference: the first photo has a piece sitting on a Canadian dime.My specialty is skies; I have a great eye for subtle color variations. Lots of purple and pink skies. The flowers portions were a lot tougher for me.In conclusion: Not the best quality but I still enjoyed it. I like tedious puzzles.

I received this puzzle as a Christmas gift… I love doing mini puzzles so I know the format. This puzzle is very poorly cut. Many, and I mean MANY pieces are what you’d consider interchangeable. The pieces in no way click or lock together so there is a lot of movement while assembling.I’ve done difficult minis but this is a different kind of difficult.I, personally, go not like the “cheats” on the backs of the puzzle pieces…. this puzzle has them…

My boyfriend couldn't finish it, he got so frustrated because of the difficulty! This is the first puzzle that has stumped him, ever.
