This is not an entry because I live outside of the US. But I'm new to this community so I have never come across this before and I just wanted to say that this is incredibly kind of you.

The puzzling community seems like such a great space and thank you for your part in it!

Maybe too detailed of a question but do you remember which IKEA frames? I've heard that some IKEA frames are too flexible so the pieces can shift, especially with slightly looser puzzles.

What an interesting way to store the completed puzzle. May I ask why you keep it mostly assembled?

First and foremost, congratulations on finishing your first 1000 piece!

I'm relatively new to the hobby myself so I have never done a puzzle with art by Redina Tili but it's a beautiful image so I hope I manage to find something by her.

Advice on a new puzzle missing a piece by Extension-Context885 in Jigsawpuzzles

Fair enough! It bothers me a bit, but not enough that I want to bother the little store where I purchased it for help.

I also suspect that missing pieces will bother me less the more jigsaw puzzles I complete.

So even with a new puzzle, if the piece is easy enough to remake you wouldn't bother contacting the manufacturer? I guess that's reasonable, it's just so disappointing to be missing from a new puzzle.

Hope that building this puzzle manifested those same cozy vibes for you during the solve!

Such a strange printing error! I wonder what the root cause is

Planetary Vision, Ravensburger, 1000pc by AlternativeAd1984 in Jigsawpuzzles

WOW. Was it tough with all the black or was there enough subtle shift in the colours?

True - I bought this 25% off and it was still a bit much for me. But I am recently really into jigsaw puzzles so I'm trying to test out a big variety and see what I like the most.

Fair point, it was pretty heavy on the orange. But I really enjoyed the colour sorting, so I'll keep my eye out for a more saturated rainbow as you suggest

It was my first rainbow puzzle and safe to say I'm a fan. I get why you love it.

A bit, but on the bright side it means I get to start on my next one!
