This is the first puzzle I have tried, so to start on one with so much sky of many different hues and colours – masochistic.

Brilliant puzzle though. Well-made, challenging, tricky!

EDIT: I decided to contact customer support and they assured me that this isn’t the norm. And they are sending me a new puzzle today.
Considering this, I’ve decided to change my 4 Review into a 5 .Since that was the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars in the first place.
They were friendly, understood and fixed it. By now 2 more puzzles by them are on the way.
I recently got back into puzzling.
I chose this puzzle because it reminds me of where I used to live.
Other reasons were most definitely the full size poster that comes with it and that it’s letter coded in the back. Something the big brands do not offer.
You know how annoying it sometimes is trying to look on the box trying to figure out what’s what. I soon realized that the poster was full size. So when I’d get stuck I’d cheat a little and took the poster to see how I should continue.
Another thing I found handy, when I was making the border, I always start with the border, that the puzzle could be divided in 8 quadrants. From there on for an adult it’s very easy to finish. But that’s what’s so neat about this. For me it was a great first puzzle to get back into things. And as my son grows up. He’ll be able to make the puzzle with the aids until, like me, he doesn’t need those anymore. The big brands only have difficult and Challenging. this is a 1000 piece puzzle that if you choose it can ease you into it however you want. Use the aids, don’t use them, it’s up to us.
You might wonder why not 5 stars, I encountered a few pieces that were slightly bend and one piece where one part was almost torn off. I’m a bit afraid that the next time that piece might be broken. I was careful when I de-assembled it. But you never know.
In any case I already have a few other puzzles from HUADADA in my basket. I’m happy I decided to try this instead of one of the more known brands. I was pleasantly surprised.
I hope you found this somewhat helpful in making your choice.
