I was very surprised by the quality of this puzzle – thick pieces and a great fit, very nice image reproduction as well. I’ve never had a Sure-Lox puzzle with such nice quality. Of course, as far as I’m concerned I’d only work these 300 piecers from them.
You’ll be shocked to hear that I bought this new, I paid retail! I was desperate to find some interesting 300 piece puzzles, saw these new looking Sure-Lox boxes and decided to give this one a try. If I get a bee in my bonnet to buy more puzzles, I may go back to Tuesday Morning and get another of these 300 piece puzzles and see if the quality is similar.
Even though I don’t always love flowers in a puzzle, I very much enjoyed this one. It was also the first image from this artist that I’ve assembled; and even though it looks as though it would be quite difficult with the art style, I found it to be just the right amount of challenging and not at all frustrating. The colors were beautiful!
This brand has always been on my naughty list, but this 300 piece puzzle was much better quality than I’ve ever had from Sure-Lox. I would definitely recommend this puzzle, but specifically only this puzzle and not the brand in general.

They’re on mine too, but I really liked the image and it was a new box so I decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised. 🙂

It’s good to review every now and then and not become too dogmatic, Jumbo wasn’t nearly as bad as I remembered.

It is a nice image. Surprised to hear about the quality. I generally rank them with puzzlebug, encore and cardinal with a big thumbs down. Glad to hear this one is good.

Me too, but the box looked different and I really wanted some 300 piece puzzles so I decided to give it a go.
