Galison - Cuba 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle for Adults

I'm pretty new to puzzles as a hobby, id only finished one other 1000 piece puzzle before this one, but this got me hooked. I love the colors, the cars, and it was challenging but fun. I've since done three more Michael Storrings puzzles, and they all have had their challenges, but so worth the finished product. I love the art! I glued this one so I can frame it in the future.

This puzzle is so colorful and really enjoyable to work! I was impressed with the quality. The pieces are very sturdy and fit together nicely!!! I would definitely recommend this puzzle for fun or an addition to a gift!

This puzzle was so much fun! The colors are really pretty and it is very detailed! The puzzle pieces are very sturdy, and I like that it comes with a smaller picture inside the box! There are quite a few Galison puzzles by the artist who did this one, so I will definitely be buying more!

I was SO excited to do this puzzle with my mom, especially since we are Cuban. The puzzle is beautiful BUT we are missing 2 pieces!! We do all of our puzzles on this same table and are very careful so I know we didn’t lose any. My OCD is really unhappy right now! If it wouldn’t have been missing pieces this puzzle would have gotten 5 stars!! **UPDATE! I filled out a form on the company website and finally received a new puzzle with no missing pieces! Great customer service!!!

I enjoyed doing this puzzle. I had the pleasure of visiting Havana many years ago and it brought back fond memories. I love the bright colors, and the workmanship is good. I would say it's intermediate in difficulty. There are distinct blocks of color to work with. My only criticism is that, while the pieces fit together well, they don't stay together well: it's easy to knock them loose.

The colors, sights and sounds of Havana, Cuba come to life in this vibrant scene by Michael Storrings. The thousand-piece puzzle features colorful classic cars in the foreground with buildings of equally stunning decor in the background. The lush canvas is populated with a thriving street crowd of vendors, musicians, bystanders and onlookers on a blue-skied day. It’s a glimpse of paradise in miniature. Storrings’s image feels both nostalgic and contemporary, echoing the timeless appeal of this mysterious and dreamy island country. For young or old, beginning or accomplished puzzlers, the bright and distinct color boundaries make this puzzle an electric building experience. While you can visualize the scene as it unfolds piece-by-piece, the completed picture suggests lives and stories behind the doors and windows and off the edge of the frame. This is a puzzle that has a spatial and active feel despite its one-dimensional plane. A beautiful puzzle that was a lot of fun to build. “Cuba” is the best one of the eight world cities Storrings painted for the Galison line.

These puzzles are really nice. Some of the pieces do stick together when you're first opening the puzzle though, and when you seperate them a few of them frayed a little. Still, the overall quality of the puzzle and the picture are really nice. Also, this is the third puzzle I've ordered from this company and all came on time and not missing any pieces.

I'm in my 40s and am new to puzzles. I wanted a puzzle that felt personal to me and after having visited Cuba several years ago (bucket list cultural exchange trip), I thought this one would be perfect. The artwork is adorable and bright, and the puzzle is super challenging! Maybe puzzle pros would find it easier, but I'm a novice and it really works my brain. I do about 60 minutes every morning while I have my coffee. It's a great team activity too, and I've gotten my husband involved. The pieces are very small and sometimes bend a little, and it's a lot of work. I'm sure we will have the greatest sense of accomplishment when we finally finish!
