We usually do 1000 piece puzzles. And sometimes a 2000 piece one here and there. And we’ve been known to ‘take a break’ and do a smaller puzzle. Well, just because a puzzle has less pieces definitely doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s going to be easy. Nope. Not at all. The Dad’s Shed puzzle from Ravensburger is proof of that. We started out thinking we’d finish this puzzle in short order. Instead, we struggled with the browns. Lots of browns. But it was a fun struggle and we really, really enjoyed the result. This puzzle reminded us of each of our dad’s in so many ways. So many of the same things could be found in this puzzle as in their workshops.
A Great Quality Puzzle
One thing you can always count on with a Ravensburger puzzle is quality. The pieces in the Dad’s Shed puzzle are nice and thick. And large. And they fit together perfectly. You can pick up the finished puzzle by a corner and not even a single piece will fall off. It’s that good. Ravensburger puzzles are more expensive for a reason: they’re better. And it’s not just the construction that’s better, the artwork is nicer. This puzzle comes from a painting. It’s super-detailed and a joy to assemble and look at.
The Last Piece
This puzzle contains 500 high-quality pieces. The final puzzle is about 20″ high and 27″ wide. Our puzzle did not include a poster, but we bought it used so it’s possible that it came with one when purchased new. There are some challenging spots in this puzzle. This is a great, quality puzzle!
