Ravensburger - Cozy Retreat - 500 Piece Large Format Jigsaw Puzzle - Enjoy The Serenity of a Simple Scene, Complete with Tea and a Good Book - Premium Quality - Puzzles for Adults

You can't really go wrong with a Ravensburger product. This was a really fun puzzle to put together. You know a good quality puzzle when the pieces feel good in your hand and they fit together perfectly in the puzzle. This ticks all the boxes. The design is pretty and was entertaining. Another good product from this company.

Very cute, easy, cozy puzzle. The pieces are really great quality and is easy to put together. My 7 year old worked on this puzzle with me. Perfect for beginners or anyone wanting to do a relaxing puzzle

I grew up 'helping' my mother do her puzzles every winter. Nearly half a century later (time flies) I've been wanting to do puzzles for a few years now. However, I live in a small house with a cat and didn't think I had anywhere to set up a puzzle table.A month or so ago I was longingly looking at puzzles online and saw movable puzzle boards, with covers! (My mother always just left a card table set up.) I had no idea such things existed! I ordered one and this puzzle. I chose this puzzle because it's only 500 pieces, they're large pieces and the picture is basically my life. :)This puzzle was a joy. A tiny challenge for a newbie, but easy enough that I finished in a couple of evenings.The pieces were top notch. None were missing, the colors were saturated and they easily snapped into place. The picture kept me interested throughout the process. This was a perfect first puzzle.

Ravensburger are excellent puzzles. Very strong and pieces lock into place. Great colors. Highly recommend these puzzles.

Great fun. Easy on arthritic hands and old eyes. ;)

Pros* A+ to the artist and the printer! The art work was gorgeous and the printing of it very fine. The words in her book are readable; the book is "Jane Eyre". There were lots of curious little things to discover and delight.* The non-glare surface was pleasant.* The large format pieces are very helpful for those whose eyesight is no longer what it was and who have trouble picking up small pieces. It was nice to find large-format in 500 count.* The box is very sturdy and identifies the puzzle on all four sides.* Good Customer Service. Two pieces were badly damaged, with knobs visibly creased on the back, which lifted the pieces around them when placed in the puzzle. Several other pieces seemed warped and the puzzle did not quite lay flat. I sent in the bar code and they sent me a new puzzle.Cons* There is no poster, yet the picture on the box is obscured in places.* It was very over-packaged in plastic. The box was wrapped in plastic, and the pieces were also in a plastic bag.They need a Buffalo Games mindset towards packaging.* They claim "every piece is unique", yet I found several instances where neighboring pieces fit into the wrong spot with ease.

Love the quality of this brand’s jigsaws. I would rate this puzzle as medium difficulty. The pieces are large and fit together nicely. I recently purchased another one of their puzzles and will review it once I’ve completed it.

I have not done puzzles for years, but recently thought I might like to start again. My first puzzle was 1000 piece and to be honest with you, it was a little frustrating. My eyes aren’t what they used to be and the size of the puzzle was hard for me to work because of the table it was on. I had to stand up a lot to get to the top of the puzzle to work so it just wasn’t relaxing, this time I decided on the 500 piece and I bought this one without realizing the pieces were larger. I am working this on a puzzle mat and it is actually working out the size of 1000 piece puzzle because of the larger pieces. Just be aware of that if you have a smaller place to work your puzzles. So far I am finding this puzzle to be very relaxing and enjoyable there are enough objects in the puzzle so you can get a pretty good idea of where the pieces are going to go in the general area of the puzzle. The pieces are going together very nicely, and there was absolutely no puzzle dust whatsoever in the box.I would definitely recommend this puzzle especially if you are just getting into puzzles or don’t want one that is very hard. This wouldn’t be considered extremely easy I don’t think but if you are looking for a challenge, I think this one might be a little too casual but for me just getting back into puzzles after years it’s been a very good choice. I’ve been working on it for a few hours today and I have a nice amount completed.
