I originally wanted the 250-piece version of this puzzle, but since it was out of stock, I took a chance on the 1000-piece. It’s not as impossible as it looks! The pieces are not all monochrome, they have subtle shades of pink, brown, purple, red, and tan which helps to differentiate them. They also have a beautiful high-gloss finish, and while they fit together well, instead of snapping into place, they fit together the way you would sink into a leather chair—it feels very luxurious!
