RavensburgerThe Music Room Jigsaw Puzzle - 500 Intricately Cut Pieces | Handcrafted in Germany Technology | Ideal for Adults and Kids | FSC-Certified Materials

I assembled this puzzle yesterday in about 4.5 hours by myself. I enjoy puzzles and Ravensburger makes some of the best, in my opinion. Often, the larger pieces are easier to see, handle, and put together so I was a little unsure of how this one would be to work with. I like that it is a smaller finished puzzle as it takes less space for all the pieces and is more managable to work on, in that respect. The matte finish is also very much appreciated as it's easier on the eyes even with overhead lighting.The print is sharp and the pieces are all cut cleanly so they fit together as they should. I do prefer the pieces in standard, square shapes and layout versus some manufacturer's that are randomly cut into various shapes and sizes.The picture/print of this puzzle has a lot of smaller areas that are easily separated to make assembly easier, but still had pieces that were difficult to identify and place until the final 20 or so. I was actually unsure if I was short some pieces until the last 3 or 4. I guess that's what makes the finish fun, right?I recommend this puzzle for those that enjoy a little challenge and can manage the standard-sized ~1 inch pieces.

This was a very fun, pretty and relatively easy puzzle. I saw some of the negative reviews but we found this to be comparable to other Ravensburger puzzles in regard to quality. All the pieces were there and they were thick, bright and of good size. There was little to no puzzle dust and although it didn’t come with a poster as most don’t, the picture on the box was sufficient for us. If you are looking for a fun, good quality puzzle for perhaps a student or music enthusiast this could be a great pick!

The pieces of this puzzle fit together well, and 500 pieces was just right for a day project for my husband. There are lots of interesting details that make puzzle piece placement easier. The only thing that would help is to have an actual picture paper in the puzzle box, to aid in seeing the picture.

Another gorgeous puzzle from Ravensburger. The design, colors, quality of pieces, the perfect way in which the pieces interlock etc., make Ravensburger the very best of all of the puzzles I have enjoyed. There are a number of other brands that are very good as well. The only thing that would make Ravensburger puzzles better is if the company would include a separate page with a picture of the puzzle rather than expect the client to use the top cover of the box. However, this is a small detail that does not take away from the enjoyment of the activity.

The puzzle overall was fine but as we assembled it, it took us a moment to realize the photo on the box did not show the whole puzzle. It didn't actually show the edges. Since there was no complete photo provided, I had to download one from the website and display it on my tablet. It made the puzzle harder to assemble.

Really enjoyed doing this one. All the different interests and the pets were fun to assemble in the puzzle. Good quality, pretty colors.

Any Ravensberger puzzle is a pleasure to assemble. The quality is outstanding.

Fun to do with the variety of instruments and colors.
