Bent pieces, GREAT puzzle otherwise

Really loved doing this puzzle on the kitchen counter. Only complaint, many of our pieces were bent. The bent pieces caused it not to lay completely flat, enough to make me think it had been a return. One piece was not the write color, but the design matched and it fit! Have ordered another puzzle, and am really enjoying it!

A Few of My Favorite Things

This is such a fun, easy puzzle to assemble! The colors are so pretty and each section offers a pretty vignette of favorite items. It came in a beautiful box with a reference poster, though no reusable bag. The pieces are sturdy and fit nicely. I think this is a nice gift for someone recovering from a medical procedure (provided they have room) as it's very straightforward and doesn't require any guesswork or patience. My favorite thing? The rotary telephone.

Quality product. Great design

This is a really good quality, engaging jigsaw. I liked doing it very much. It is my second from the company and I intend to buy more. It’s so good to find a company that have designs that I like so much. I would recommend

Great variety of colours and objects

Our second puzzle by Elena, we were drawn in by the rainbow effect! There's lots of objects to focus on with this one which can sometimes be overwhelming but it didn't really feel that way due to the variety of colours. The finish and fit of the pieces was really good. Again it's a little bit more expensive than we would usually spend on a puzzle but we spent a good amount of time completing it so it was worth it for us.

A great design

A lovely design, really pleasing to look at. Not to complicated a puzzle that I finished in a day. Looking to buy more from the same brand.

Un puzzle magnífico

La ilustración es preciosa y se ve perfectamente (no está para nada pixelada). La calidad de las piezas es buena, no la mejor que he probado, pero no tuve problemas de que se doblaran, pelaran o encajarán donde no iban. En general es un puzzle muy entretenido y fácil, para una mañana o una tarde libre.

Wunderbares Motiv

Ich habe lange über die passende Wertung nachgedacht, denn es ist definitiv eines meiner Lieblingspuzzle. Das Motiv ist einerseits durch die destinktiven einzelnen Motive sehr gut für Anfänger*innen geeignet, oder für Menschen die einfach den Kopf beim Puzzeln ausschalten wollen. Leider war die Puzzelqualität nicht so gut, wie ich es gewohnt bin: einzelne Puzzelteile sind hinten ausgerissen und die Teile sitzen sehr locker ineinander.
Inzwischen habe ich erfahren, dass die alten Elena Essex Puzzel in China produziert wurden, aufgrund von Qualitätsmängeln jedoch die Produktion in die Niederlande verlegt wurden. Stand 2024 kommen die Puzzle mit diesem Motiv aus China. Andere Elena Essex Motive wie die Briefmarken jedoch bereits aus den Niederlangen. Der Unterschied war wie Tag und Nacht.

Würde ich mir das Puzzle dennoch noch mal kaufen? Ja!

Gute Farben

Ein sehr schönes Puzzle, besonders die hellen Farben, die man auch mit schlechteren Augen bzw. bei schlechteren Lichtverhältnissen gut sieht. So hab ich das empfunden.
Und toll, dass man die Puzzleteile sehr einfach nach den Farben sortieren kann.
Macht Spaß!

I loved this puzzle!

It was my very first jigsaw puzzle from Elena Essex, and I'm completely in love with the brand! It took me around 4 hours to complete the puzzle, so it wasn't a big challenge, but this is exactly what I was looking for. I adore vibrant puzzles with a lot going on, and this was a perfect match! I'll definitely put it together once again in the future.

I prefer to support small local businesses, particularly those that prioritize our planet's wellness. I appreciate that Elena Essex does exactly this while also providing high-quality puzzles.

I can't wait to make another order!

Lovely colourful jigsaw!

Son chose this one after we completed the Christmas jigsaw and we weren’t disappointed. Pieces fit well and easily (so strange shapes to contend with). The box makes the jigsaw a beautiful gift should you wish and the poster makes keeping an eye on colour ways very handy. We’ve already purchased another jigsaw in this range, were that happy with them.

Elena Essex puzzles are 5 star across the board!

I am an avid and particular puzzler. The Elena Essex line is the very best quality I’ve ever seen. The designs are great. The shapes of puzzle pieces vary. The feel of the pieces is fantastic. Customer service is top notch. I highly recommend anything Elena Essex does. I own and have worked at least five of her puzzles and have several more on my wishlist. Eventually I’ll get to them all. 😊

A beautiful puzzle

This puzzle is well-made (no de-lamination on any of the pieces) and fun to assemble. It was challenging but not impossible, and visually quite attractive.

Gorgeous Jigsaw

This was bought for me for Christmas. I love it. I love unusual jigsaws not cottages or boats or sky and water. Beautiful colours. Good quality pieces that fit together nicely. I would recommend this to anyone. It was fairly simple to do. I managed to do two jigsaws yesterday, this one and another one. This one was completed in about three hours. They are a bit dearer than most jigsaws but very enjoyable

One of the best puzzles

I just received this puzzle and started on it right away. It is so much fun to do. I love the gradient sections which made it easier to sort. It just is so pretty and am so glad I bought it. It will be a keeper for me.

One of my favorite puzzles!

Such a nice, colorful puzzle when completed. All pieces fit in securely and because of the many colors, it's not frustrating but enjoyable. Thought I lost a piece and contacted the manufacturer who was more than happy to send the missing piece. I will look for others by Elena

Fun puzzle with insanely cute artwork!!!

This artwork is absolutely adorable. I’m so obsessed with the punchbug!!! And the vintage typewriter. Reminds me of my beloved idol Angela Lansbury aka JB Fletcher.

There are so many tiny details that made assembling this puzzle so fun and easy. All the ticket stubs were also some of my first things to assemble. The colors just popped! And I adore all things Elena Essex. Her puzzles are always such great quality! And I love the ones in this newest launch!

While I was working on this, I couldn’t help but wonder what items would make my “favorite things” puzzle. Definitely Clemson, my kiiramendenhall painting, Murder She Wrote, my Stanley cup, my two fur babies, plants, my kitchen aid, Hadley pottery, The Avetts and of course - Elena Essex puzzles!

Highly recommend!
