Mom had a successful thrift store trip this week and brought me this Christmas puzzle that was only 100 pieces. It’s such a pretty image! There’s a lot of glitter, but I wasn’t able to get a good picture of it.
Unfortunately this is an E&L puzzle, and the quality was dismal. The pieces are thin and fit together very poorly. You can see by the picture above that the finished puzzle doesn’t lie flat, but being a used puzzle it might be from our fantastic Florida humidity rather than poor quality. Although at 35 cents, it was still money well spent; even with less than perfect quality I can still enjoy the puzzle.
On the positive side, this is a “Sparkles in Light” holiday series glitter puzzle, and the glitter is adhered extremely well. There wasn’t one speck of it anywhere on the bottom of the box – and that’s a rarity with glitter puzzles that I’ve worked. No festive puzzle dust at all! LOL

We just did the same puzzle but a 500 piece one. Same problems and the color of the pieces are not even the same when side by side. The to top it off there where 2 missing pieces. Worst puzzle we have ever done.

I’m sorry to hear that, I’m assuming it was the same brand? E&L is one of the companies I won’t buy, the quality is just awful.

I don’t get upset about quality issues or missing pieces in cheap second-hand puzzles.. You still get the value out of it. However I rage against quality issues in new puzzles if I’ve paid a lot of money for them…
