This was a fun puzzle to work with. The pieces fit together firmly. No pieces were missing. Nice, bright colors. Very enjoyable.

We liked this puzzle. Colors are vivid and it was fun to assemble this puzzle

It was very fun to put together and the picture is beautiful.

Enjoyed this puzzle, good quality

I’ve purchased Buffalo brand puzzles before and never had this issue. When unwrapping the pieces out of the plastic bag hundreds of them were stuck/glued together on the picture side (picture side to picture side). When I carefully pulled them apart the picture came off the pieces leaving white spots all over the puzzle. The puzzle does not lay flat either. It seems as if the puzzle got wet? It’s not a deal breaker but it’s definitely not a good quality puzzle. I would not pay for a damaged puzzle like this again. I’m not sure if this is a quality control issue or something else. It doesn’t seem to be caused by Amazon because the pieces are sealed in a plastic baggie upon arrival. Very disappointing.

This is a fun puzzle, but it looks like it was exposed to and damaged by heat. The picture side of one piece was stuck to the picture side of another piece. When separated, the picture was damaged, leaving behind white spots on the pieces that were stuck together. There were ~20 pairs stuck together in this way. If not for this problem, I would have given it 5 stars.

We knocked a star off our rating because, unlike all of the other Buffalo Games puzzles we have assembled, this one had what appeared to be a quality control issue. The puzzle arrived at hour home unopened. Inside the pieces were contained in the usual sealed plastic bag. While going through the pile looking for edge pieces, we noticed two things. First we often came across two pieces with their face sides stuck together. You had to lightly pry them apart. This often left white spots where they were stuck together. Second, we also noticed that many (all?) of the pieces were a bit warped. Normally Buffalo Games pieces fit nicely together but these pieces could be easily disconnected as you continued to flesh out the puzzle. We believe this suggests the pieces had been exposed to high humidity, either in production or later. There was no sign of water entry or damage in the box, so probably something went wrong in the manufacturing process. We completed the puzzle and no pieces were missing, but it just wasn't as flat as it should be. One other issue we had, some of the colors did not match the the fold-out picture included in the box. In particular, the dark yellow color (shaded yellow) was actually a sickly "baby-poop" brown in the puzzle pieces. This made assembly a bit more confusing. Again, this the first time we have seen this issue with Buffalo Games puzzles. Overall, though, the puzzle was fun to do.Addendum: I can't help but respond to the review by Jonathan Hough titled "An incomplete puzzle." Looking at my completed puzzle and comparing it to the section of the puzzle in his picture I can see that he made a mistake. The piece directly between to two empty holes needs to be removed, rotated 180 degrees and placed where the bottom hole is. The other two pieces will fill in just above it. You can see what I'm saying by looking at the first picture in Bella's review. It happens to show the same portion of the puzzle. You can see the three pieces positioned correctly. Jonathan was so close.I can understand his frustration because there were one or two times when we were assembling the puzzle when a piece went in but none of the other pieces would work correctly to continue completing the puzzle. You had to backtrack a piece or two, find the problematic piece and it would usually fit better in another position, usually one or two spaces away. It would generally be obvious it was now in the correct position by snapping into place.
