Kites at Dusk — 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

lovely puzzle

Good design, colourful, challenging enough but some pieces are warped.

Lovely puzzle, good quality pieces, took about 6 hours to complete. Love all of her puzzles, but this was in my top three.

Colors are vibrant. It was a little difficult for me, 1000 pieces. Took a little longer to put together but was worth it. Picture was beautiful.

Meraviglioso puzzle, colori luminosi, immagine nitida. Consigliatissimo

Ein Geschenk, das sehr gut ankam :-)

**Updated** - I received a faulty copy of this puzzle. Elena Essex reached out with an apology and sent me a copy of a puzzle of my choice as compensation. I chose "Journey", and while the colours on the puzzle aren't quite as vivid (/yellow!) as the colours on the box, it's an absolutely gorgeous puzzle with excellent quality pieces, and excellent customer service, all the pieces and no duplicates!

Returned. Multiples of several edge pieces, others were missing, and colours of pieces completely different from box or poster.

Puzzle missing 2 pieces. Contacted Essex. 10/2 with picture of holes. Have not heard back from them. (So much for their promise to replace missing pieces.)

Beautiful puzzle, too bad it will never be completed.

UPDATE: 2 puzzle pieces did finally arrive. The promise to replace missing pieces is true!

Beautiful colors! Great quality too!

Magnifique et agréable à réaliser.

The artwork is gorgeous and the pieces fit together well. It’s a nice thick cardboard which I appreciate. It is a hard puzzle, lots of similar colors. I haven’t finished it yet but it will easily take me 10-20 hours.

It was so fun to put together! Beautiful.

There's weird cracking or splitting of the ink on many of the tabs of the puzzle. I can feel them if I run my nail over them. Also, there are pieces that are dented and bent.

On the other hand, I haven't put together all of the puzzle yet but the puzzle seems to have pretty good hold and the print looks good. Minimal puzzle dust too.

Edit: I was contacted and the puzzle was replaced with a puzzle of my choice and was refunded. I tried reordering the puzzle (since it was still on sale) and the problems persisted, so maybe hold off on the kites for now.

The replacement puzzle was perfect though.

More pros: the puzzle box is small enough for just the puzzle to fit which is a big plus for me. The puzzle isn't too glossy and the colors are superb.

EDIT: Elena Essex contacted me and replaced the puzzle as well as providing a refund. The new one has no issues with cracking. Thank you!

I've had good experiences with Elena Essex puzzles before, but I cannot recommend this specific puzzle. Around half of the pieces had cracks in their print. At this price point, that's really not acceptable.

Habe diesen Puzzle verschenkt - sie scheinen großartig zu sein

Dieses Puzzle ist einfach wunderschön. Die Farben sind so gesättigt und fröhlich, dass man beim Legen des Puzzles die Zeit und das schlechte Wetter vor dem Fenster vergisst...

Das Motiv ist einfach nur wunderbar und auch, wenn man noch nicht der Puzzle-Profi ist, kann man das Puzzle trotz der vielen Farbverläufe sehr einfach legen.

So sind z.B. die Bereiche, in denen der Himmel rosa/ pink ist, sehr gut voneinander zu unterscheiden, so dass man sich nicht totsuchen.

Die Qualität der Teile ist ausgezeichnet, die Haptik ist überragend, die Teile sind matt und spiegeln nicht. Man legt selten ein Teil an die falsche Stelle und das Endergebnis ist fast besser als bei Ravensburger.

Auf jeden Fall ein Puzzle, das sein Geld wert ist und toll in meine Sammlung passt!

I’ve started collecting Elena Essex puzzles and always get excited when a new puzzle is added to the store. The colors are beautiful, the pieces are durable/puzzles are high quality, and really fun to put together. I have never had any missing pieces in these puzzles. I will definitely continue purchasing more.

Wie bei jedem Puzzle dieser Marke, gefällt mir besonders das farbenfrohe Design, das originelle Motiv & dass es sich sehr gut legen lässt.
Super zu empfehlen!

Vivid colors, substantial construction, zero dust. Just a lovely puzzle!
