Elena Essex Puzzles for Adults - Rainbow Kingdom | 1000 Piece Puzzle | Jigsaw Puzzles 1000 Pieces | Pride Rainbow Animal Gradient Puzzle | Adult Puzzles Size 20 x 28 inches

I received this puzzle for my birthday, and it is my FAVORITE puzzle I have ever done! And I'm no newbie to puzzling. The artwork is truly beautiful, the piece quality is fantastic (virtually NO puzzle dust!), and the gradient is such a fun image to solve. I'm absolutely obsessed and will be buying all the puzzles by Elena.

I’m a sucker for beautiful color so this puzzle caught my eye and I totally enjoyed putting it together. The black background makes most of the images pop and I love the look.Only issue was the bottom dark purple and black animals. I had to use my phone’s flashlight to get enough direct light to put together the dark pieces - though better eyes might not have any issues (I’m one that has my phone’s brightness turned all the way up! Lol!)The puzzle pieces are very sturdy and mostly fit well together. There were a few tricky ones that threw me for a bit (mostly in the dark areas of the bottom). The feel of the paper on the pieces and the box is excellent - that matte finish silky feel - love it! The box size is great and fits the 1000 large-ish puzzle pieces nicely. It’s obviously well thought out and not wasteful. The included picture is a very useful size and excellent image quality.At 1000 pcs, it’s a great puzzle for most puzzlers, and gives lots of successful moments. Honestly for me, it was too easy and I’d love the same image in 2 or 3 thousand pcs more (though the piece size would definitely need to be smaller), but I still enjoyed the process as the image was so unique and beautiful!

The beautiful design sold me, and the high quality will keep me coming back for more. I love the artwork. I'd love the designs on all of the animals and the little details of smaller birds, butterfly, bees, fish. All of it is very detailed. No blurry images to try to distinguish. Zero puzzle dust. Matte finish, so no glare. I do have one complaint, and that's that the images on the listing have bolder,deeper colors, that are easily distinguished. In person , they are closer in color tone. My favorite decor style is bohemian, and this fits perfectly with that vibe. It is more expensive than most, hopefully the price goes down. For me the difficulty level was just what I like. A very enjoyable puzzle.

I love these puzzles, I have like 5 of them now. Great colors and the prices are good quality.

So pretty. Elena Essex has grown to be one of my favorite puzzle designers. The designs are beautiful, with a simple design and fresh color. Her more recent puzzles remind me of a grown-up Lisa Frank. The puzzle pieces are a flat matte.The boxes are also beautiful. They follow a standard design format so they look really great when stacked together.For the cheetah/peacock puzzle, the design was actually harder than I thought it would be. I figured it would be fairly easy as there is nice color blocking and easily discernable patterns. However, the patterns were just large enough to barely fit on the piece, so each piece wasn't really that textured. It was fun and beautiful, like all of Elena Essex, with the added bonus of a little more difficulty than I expected.Rainbow Kingdom:Difficulty: 2/5 (box not needed)Picture Quality: 5/5Piece Quality: mattePiece Types: regular, 4-sided with knobs and holesCheetah/Peacock:Difficulty: 3/5 (box helpful, but not needed)Picture Quality: 5/5Piece Quality: mattePiece Types: regular with knobs and holes

This is a really pretty puzzle. I even glued and framed it to give as a present for a kids room. The nice gradiant makes it relatively easy, the colors are bright and vibrant and the different textures of the animals are a lot of fun. The illustrations are really nice also. The quality of the cuts was sharp and the puzzle dust was minimal. And it came with a poster of the image which I always appreciate.The reason I took away one star is due to the bottom. The last row of animals is so dark that with any glare you cant see them. This caused some issues with some of the pieces as the cuts were not all unique and I had to go over the bottom part a few times adjusting the pieces that were in the wrong spot. In bad lighting it wouldn't be possible. Not an issue in rest of the puzzle because the colors and textures are so unique.Ultimatly it was a lot of fun and beautiful, but I wish they had made the last row of animals have more contrast with the background.

A fun puzzle.

Amazing colors and just the right difficulty for a relaxed evening.
