Night Reef — 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

Great quality puzzle and super satisfying to do!

All Elena Essex puzzles are lovely and this didn't disappoint

The jigsaw itself seems good but when it arrived the packaging was terrible. I did alter the delivery date. It was originally due to be delivered on the Sunday but was changed to the Monday which was no good for me. So I had to change the date.

Loved this puzzle, it's beautiful. Not too difficult due to the different colours that help identify where pieces go. Recommend.

Belles couleurs, bonne qualité, pas vraiment difficile.

Es un puzzle precioso, con colores vivos, corte preciso y material muy bueno.

Le faltaba una pieza y Elena nos la mandó por correo postal sin ningún tipo de coste pero tenía un corte un poco diferente y la tintada de color variaba un poco así que nos dijo que eligiéramos el puzzle que quisiéramos, que nos lo enviaba también sin coste. Todo amabilidad y facilidades, da gusto con ella.
Sin duda es una buena compra. En Navidad caerá otro por casa.

Is really good puzzle I already ordered another one

Really good quality

Was enjoyable to put together

We managed to loose a piece and elena herself posted one back to us. The jigsaw puzzle is of great quality and the service is even better. We love it so much that we have framed it, ready to go on the wall!

Good quality, bright colours and easy fit pieces

This puzzle is beautiful, the design and the way the colour theme flows is stunning.
The pieces themselves are precision cut, no dust and fit together well. Great quality jigsaw, throughly enjoyed putting it together - now to pull it apart and start again!

Another beautiful puzzle

it's a puzzle that takesa bit of time very good quality

Rompecabezas hermoso de muy buena calidad y con colores muy brillantes. Sin duda compraré otro

Ich war wirklich positiv überrascht von der Qualität des Puzzles!
Kein einziges Teil hing an einem Anderen, alle waren sauber ausgestanzt. Vollständig ist es auch.
Das Motiv ist super schön und macht Spaß. Hin und wieder gibt es ähnliche Teile die auch noch ähnlich gut passen, aber das macht es meiner Meinung nach umso spannender und macht mehr Spaß.
Die Form der Puzzleteile ist auch abwechslungsreicher als bei den meisten anderen Puzzlen.
Ich hatte viel Spaß und kann es jedem weiter empfehlen.
Schwierigkeitsgrad empfinde ich als leicht-Mittel. Ich habe ungefähr 5 Stunden dran gesessen, die ich aber voll genossen habe. ☺️

Einzig das Teil auf dem Foto hat eine leichte Macke und die Ecke steht ein bisschen ab.

Puzzling this has been a wonderful experience. The quality of pieces is fantastic and the colors are absolutely gorgeous. The motives and colors have been chosen in a way that guides you naturally through the puzzle without much doubt which piece goes where and it's very clear that the motive has seen a lot of thought put into it!

Beautiful puzzle - quite challenging! I had my eye on this one for months, finally purchased and finished it but gutted two pieces are missing so one star removed.

This is a high quality jigsaw with a beautiful modern design. The simplicity of colour adds an additional challenge in the jigsaw experience with a stunning final result. I have since purchased this jigsaw as a gift for friends and purchased 2 more by the same designer for myself. Highly recommended!!!

The image on this jigsaw is beautiful and it has been a joy (and obsession) to put together.

There is so much to love about this exquisite puzzle. 😍

Elena's black background with the neonish colours transitioning from blues and aqua to purples pink, reds and oranges is pure beauty. 🤩🧩

Elena has incorporated so many details and puzzling, is the only way to really appreciate them.

This puzzle showcases an extensive magical seascape including the coral corner that is home to the clown fish, star fish, seahorses, crabs, clams, the most adorable sea dragon, squid, lobster, eel, octopus shark and various fish.

While the wave is full of intricately drawn fish, rays, squid, seahorses, turtles, shoals of fish and jellyfish.

Elena has done a fantastic job of incorporating copious sea creatures, in gorgeous colours on a black background. The background was incorporated midway during the process of refining her artwork. This black background was not an overwhelming challenge to puzzle, like a lot of other puzzles with black backgrounds because most black pieces had partial sea images on them and there was no false fits, making this an exceptional puzzling experience for me.

This was such a smiley puzzle, I was smiling from start to finish, I loved it so much. I am crowning it my favourite puzzle for 2023 ❤️

Thanks so much Elena for sharing your gifted artistic talents with the puzzling community.

Great Jigsaw really enjoyed doing it. Lovely underwater scene, something a little bit different because of the colours. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys 1000 piece jigsaws. Also comes with a seperate sheet with the picture on it, nice touch.

A really beautiful puzzle. The pieces seem well made with no peeling or bending. Will definitely be doing this one again and again!

Beautiful puzzles that I enjoyed putting together. Just when buying a frame for this which I might add will be expensive due to the size of the puzzle. Measure the puzzle first and don't go by the measurements on the box because it didn't fit in the frame that had those measurements and I had to get a few tools out to make the puzzle fit ie cutting the puzzle a little bit but it was worth it in the end because it looks very nice on the frame!!

I've been on a puzzle spree. In my childhood, I had a cork-backed puzzle that had the most satisfying fitting pieces. For some reason, no modern companies seem to do cork backs, so I've been buying one puzzle from every major brand to see how the modern cardboard puzzles hold up.

Clementoni - thick pieces but quite a few had peeling backs or split edges. A lot of stuck together pieces, like the die was dull. Fairly crumbly/loose-fitting--cannot pick up sections and move them easily.
Ravensburger - thick pieces, good quality. VERY crumbly/loose-fitting--cannot pick up sections and move them at all.
Masterpieces - almost too tight of fit, not easy to disassemble
Buffalo - too shiny, much glare. Good fit, but quite a few split edges/peeling.
Cobble Hill - I don't remember specifics, to be honest, but I do remember enjoying it.

And finally, this Elena Essex puzzle. The pieces aren't super think like Ravensburger or Clementoni, but they are thick enough. They have a nice matte finish so glare won't get in your way. The cut was perfect. I didn't have any pieces not fully cut. The fit was also perfect. Which is to say, just tight enough to transfer groups of assembled pieces, but just loose enough to make taking it apart pretty easy.

So functionality-wise, this is the best puzzle so far. And I love super bright puzzles, so the image was perfect. The color gradient with the black background is just stunning. I will definitely be looking for Elena Essex puzzles again.

Beautiful gradient puzzle with an added sealife twist. Enjoyable to complete. Pieces are sturdy and fit together nicely

Really stunning picture, it was very pleasant to move through the shades as I worked my way across. Pieces are well cut and didn't jump apart at the slightest touch like cheaper puzzles. I'll be sending this on to my parents for them to enjoy next.

I adore this puzzle! I've had my eye on it for a couple of months and finally purchased it, and I'm so glad I did. The picture and the colors are beautiful. The quality of the material is impressive, very sturdy and easy to piece together. Also, none of the pieces came stuck together (which is rare) so I didn't have to worry about tearing any pieces trying to separate them. Plus the note in the box from the seller was a cute touch and made the item feel more personalized. 10/10, I'm already buying my next one!
