This butterfly once assembled is as stunning as it's picture would suggest. Gave it as a Valentine Gift to my spouse. We had taken up puzzles to pass the time during the COVID crisis. My sinister plan included mounting the finished butterfly in a frame.Let me state now that it's brought up, the sheet of two sided adhesive paper included in the box was a joke. Not intending to hurt the makers feelings but... come on. I tossed it in favor of another solution. The included sheet's problem is that it is folded. No way I know of to flatten the sheet well enough to eliminate bumps in the butterfly. I'll provide my solution later.These puzzle pieces are unique shapes of mostly familiar things. At times it was difficult to get pieces together due to the precision of the cuts, very little space for fudging. A set of tweezers helped set smaller pieces. Moving and repositioning the completed parts was not meant for the faint of heart. We frequently scattered pieces or created gaps when intentionally or accidentally moving the puzzle. Not meant to be a complaint - just a characterization of this puzzle's complexity. If you like a challenge this puzzle is for you.My approach to mounting the completed butterfly: Disclaimer - This is my solution; no guarantee of suitability for your project. As mentioned previously just touching the puzzle could cause a shift in pieces and resulting gaps between pieces that you do not want. First task is to halt gap creep. Could use the included adhesive sheet. OR... Get two cutting boards, as flat as possible. Carefully slide the puzzle onto a cutting board - colored side up. Add wax paper to the other cutting board and tape in place on the backside so wax paper won't slide. Lay the wax paper side on top of the puzzle. Lift and flip cutting boards together. Lift off the board on top - set aside. At this point you should be looking at an upside down puzzle on top of a cutting board covered with wax paper. Grab enough clean, flat printer paper sheets to cover the puzzle when edges are butted together. In my case it was two 8.5x11 inch 20# inkjet paper. What we will do is apply high quality spray-on adhesive to the back side of the puzzle then cover it with the paper. Before performing that step it is important to minimize any gaps between pieces. Use a good amount of spray-on to make a film across the entire surface but not so much as to run off the sides. At this point add the paper carefully avoiding moving any pieces. A lightly applied blotting roller or fingers can help make sure the paper lays flat and gets full contact with adhesive. Follow adhesive makers instructions for cure times. I was advised by the primate pictured adhesive to wait an hour before moving it about carefully. After setting, separate the puzzle from the wax paper by flipping it onto the other board lifting off the wax paper board. I put the cleaned-up board back on top and added some weight on top of the puzzle sandwich to assure a flat, even cure for 24 hours. The next day the assembled puzzle was stable and easy to handle. From there I cut the paper away up to the edges. My final approach to mounting in a picture frame was to again use spray-on adhesive to just the puzzle-paper backside. I laid the puzzle sprayed side onto the pre-silhouetted back board somewhat like applying a sticker other than the puzzle does not bend. I then again applied pressure using cutting boards for a day.

Help from seller if possible?
I would have directly messaged but I couldn’t find the place to do so. I’m sorry to post this way but I was trying to see if seller could help. I bought this puzzle for my grandma a long time ago, but we just got around to doing it because it was too hard for her to do it by herself, but when we finally put it together yesterday, it was missing pieces.. it’s beautiful but I was hoping for assistance.

Beautiful and fun
I really enjoyed doing this puzzle. I purchased the medium size. This is a challenging one, since there is so much that appears to be symmetric. There are subtle differences between the two sides of the puzzle, but you have to pay great attention to detail to find them. I enjoyed the challenge, and the completed puzzle is gorgeous. It’s very well made and the colors are vibrant. My only problem is that it has more of a smell than some of the other wooden puzzles I’ve done. I was hoping the smell would dissipate, but it didn’t. I had to take the puzzle apart and put it back in its box. I’ll probably put it together again in six months or so, by which time I may have forgotten much and will find it fun and challenging again.I really like the designs and quality of the wooden puzzles this company makes. I’d buy a lot more of them if the smell wasn’t there. I should say that I’m very sensitive to odors, and someone else might not notice anything at all.

Complex But Perfect For An Active Mind
This puzzle is extremely unique in its design. Not only are the pieces vastly abstract compared to other puzzles, but they are beautiful and sturdy as well! The pieces are wooden, yet small, so they don't get damaged so easily. And it comes in this beautiful wooden box, the pieces wrapped in a nifty little lace cloth. I bought this as a gift for someone older that I love, and I do recommend only buying it for teens or adults as mentioned earlier due to its complexity. Some of the shapes are open circles that look the the Sun with no inside, and some of them have stars hanging off the edges. I've never seen anything like this, and am very impressed by it. I'm excited to see if the person I bought it for will like it! I'm sure anyone into more Advanced Puzzles will thoroughly enjoy this marvelous piece!

Beautiful puzzle
I gifted this to my sister in law and she really enjoyed it. It was a good challenge for her. The only downside was the fact that we couldn’t find a puzzle saver to fit these wooden puzzles that are thicker than most puzzles.

Great gift.
I bought this for my wife who LOVES puzzles and she had a great time with this one.On top of that, once it's finished, it looks great! Those colours are bright and the design looks great.She truly appreciated the fact that the pieces were different designs and it was "fun" to discover how they would fit in the other pieces.Nice gift to offer your loved ones while we're all "stuck" at home during this COIVD-19 Pandemic.

Great quality, little small
I’ve been considering this puzzle for awhile - it’s a lot of money to spend but I finally bought it. Beware it’s small (I bought the small) like maybe a 5x8 index card or something. But I love it. Great sturdy pieces. Comes with stand and clear backing to overlay for display. I actually put it together initially plain-side up to see designs. Very relaxing and detailed. Then put together again color-side up. I’ll do both again before setting for display. Beware: do not force pieces - they fit together gently and quite exactly, especially closer to completion. Great note from company about how to contact if missing a piece. Also, they include one piece without color in darker wood - it’s on purpose. It took me a bit to realize it wasn’t part of puzzle. When I can afford I will DEFINITELY buy more. Great quality.

well built, coloring is fantastic.
I have no complaints. I really like the the sturdiness, the colors and the challenge. I enjoy the cuts of the pieces too. I am slow at it, but I am pushing 80. As soon as I finish this one (which is my second) I will order another one.
