Edward Gorey - Edward Gorey: 1,000 Piece Puzzle (Pomegranate Artpiece Puzzle)

As an Edward Gorey fan, the subject matter for this puzzle definitely entertained me. Whimsical, grim and weird as always. His artwork always invited multiple examinations and uncovered fun finds with each subsequent viewing -- a great thing when you're working on a puzzle! Each of the characters has a different outfit, so you have both color and texture (and even orientation of the texture) to segment and solve the puzzle. It's far from easy but equally far from impossible. Overall, I really enjoyed this puzzle. I had no production quality issues although I did find that I had incorrectly placed pieces a few times as the design of the pieces were perhaps not always as distinct as they could be. Not a big deal but just be careful.

Pretty easy puzzle. Loved it.

Such a fun puzzle!! Unfortunately no poster. One piece was missing. :( other than that it’s perfect.

I love Gorey but wondered if I could complete this puzzle as I am an average puzzler. It is difficult but doable. I enjoyed working on it and did not feel terribly frustrated. Working a couple hours a day it took me a week

This is a classic Gorey scene.

I was able to fit it together without any missing pieces~ It's so pretty.

I was cautious about buying this puzzle because some reviewers complained about the construction of the pieces. If you are going to try this puzzle with young children, yeah, be careful because the edges are relatively delicate. The puzzle is made of cardboard, not wood. Assuming it is careful adults and older children making the puzzle I will say I didn't have any problems. No missing pieces, no pieces that were devoid of coloring and none of the pieces had their image peeling off. I love the picture. I love Edward Gorey. This was, as another reviewer mentioned, a very challenging puzzle. But I looked very carefully at each person's clothing and the texture and pattern was oh so subtly different for each person. Eventually we got the whole thing together. I would have loved to have preserved it and displayed on the wall, but I don't live in a place where I can do that, lol. But yes, it's nice enough for display when completed. The colors are vibrant (for a Gorey) I mean he does stray towards grey, but the pinks and greens are vivid.

For people serious about doing jigsaw puzzles (as I am), it's pretty much perfect. Pros: 1) Wonderful smooth, matte finish so very little glare from your light source. 2) No mangled or splitting pieces. I mean ZERO, folks. For 1K piece puzzle, that's pretty impressive. 3) Nice, stiff pieces with very smooth edges that provide a satisfying snap. 4) Nice variety of shapes 5) Puzzle arrived completely shuffled- ZERO pieces arrived already together. Cons: NONE. I was so impressed with a previous Pomegranate "Artpiece" puzzle, I bought this one hoping it wasn't a fluke that this series is/was so nice. It wasn't. These are seriously good puzzles, folks. You will NOT be disappointed with an "Artpiece" series puzzle. Totally worth the $$$.

My first pomegranate puzzle and have immediately ordered more. The puzzle comes in a quality reusable ziplock bag. The pieces are crisp, and thick and have a slight matte feel that feels luxurious to the touch. I'm looking forward to my new puzzles arriving, I wish they had a lot more Edward Gorey ones, the art is so distinctive.

Not a single piece broken or missing .. perfect fits .. it was a pleasure to do this puzzle … highly recommended.

Algunas piezas son más grandes que otras, pero de muy buena calidad, me encantó!

Llego antes de lo esperado, en perfecto estado y con las piezas completas. Excelente!!

This is my favourite puzzle I've done in the last few years. Not just because it's Gorey, although that obviously gives it a hefty advantage. The pieces are thick and sturdy, so you don't have to worry about bending/breaking when taking apart pieces that came already together. It's also super fun to do, because each character has unique patterns that you THINK you can easily spot and assemble – and then your eyes start to play tricks on you. We didn't even notice the ghost until the puzzle was complete! I rarely do puzzles a second time, but this one's a keeper.
