RoseArtBack to The Past - Hometown Celebration - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle for Adults

I got this puzzle for my bf for us to do on Valentine’s Day and it is a very challenging puzzle! Love it!UPDATE: We finished the puzzle and it came with a duplicate piece so we weren’t even able to finish it because the last piece was the wrong one.

This review is for the "RoseArt - Back to The Past - Hometown Celebration - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle for Adults".I finished this puzzle a couple days ago. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I went into it expecting at least one missing piece after reading quite a few reviews for RoseArt puzzles stating others had encountered this issue. So when I discovered that my set of pieces was complete, I was quite happy.The puzzle itself is decent quality. The pieces are not as snug together as other more premium brands, so picking the completed puzzle up is likely not going to work, or might work but it will quickly start to fall apart. The pieces do fit together well though. The shapes are normal (not oddball shapes like you might get in a brand like Bits and Pieces). The colors are bright and easy to see. The quality of the image is good, matching the poster and box cover, so if you need to figure out where a piece goes, the poster is quite handy and accurate.As for the puzzle assembly experience, I found it to be good. While trying to focus on specific areas first, the toughest parts were the car, especially the grill, the tree foliage up in the top corners, and the pants on the guy in the front left. Lots of, "really? that's where that piece goes?!" moment along the way. Overall a good time putting this together considering the puzzle was under ten bucks. I'll probably try some more RoseArt puzzles now after doing this one.

Fun and challenging! The quality of the pieces and the image were all top notch, with a lot of details to help identify the pieces.

I am an avid puzzler, and this is my first negative review. I purchase different brands and themes and have never had this situation. With the many puzzles I have done, I have had that puzzle with an additional or missing piece. It happens, but this is entirely different. This puzzle was missing 65 pieces, had 20 duplicate pieces, and had 8 pieces that didn't even belong to this puzzle.I don't see myself purchasing RoseArt puzzles in the future based on this experience.

I did this puzzle with my mom - she's 82. We had a lot of fun with it. The only problem is we got about 20 duplicate pieces and were missing 13! There's a satisfaction guarantee on the box, so we're going to call the company.

Good puzzle brand. This was more difficult than I expected but still super fun!

This was a gift for my 88 year old grandfather who has done HUNDREDS of puzzles throughout the years. He loved doing this although it only took him two days to put it together. It was a good quality picture without fuzziness. it was a fantastic price to top it all off.

Back to the PastVery fuzzy and not clear subject matter. The picture on the box is clearer than the puzzleMakes this puzzle very frustrating and hard to find pieces that match, as we have been finding with this brand of puzzle.We also think it was also missing pieces, as we were never able to find all the outer edge pieces.We worked on this for 2 weeks and was not able to get past 50%Puzzles should be fun and challenging, this one is not and do not recommend
